Courage, strength and wisdom

Many of us have seen the Serenity Prayer that asks for courage to change what we can, strength to accept what we cannot change and the wisdom to know the difference. All this speaks to attitude...the way we see ourselves or our reson for being a resident of earth. If we believe life owes us more than breath and people are for our comfort there is really no need for so broad a view. BUT if we insist on making the world better when we leave it, then we need courage, sstrength and wisdom. I know just the person who has those commodities in ample supply! God says ask, seek, and knock. Talk about a blank check! Let's test God's faithfulness...hmmm wonder if he will deliver? Whadda ya think?

Email me your query if interested or simply respond here.

2. If you were doing an entire book based on a detailed study of Psalm 119, what would you call it? And don't say "Teach Me Thy Statutes (or Laws). That's right, I need help with a book title.

Catching Up

Well here I am again giving blogging a second chance. I got too busy and took so long to get back to my site "they" disabled it! Today I am talking about Costochondritis. Costochondritis pain is often mistaken for heart attack pain. The pain of a heart attack is often more widespread, while costochondritis pain is focused on a small area. Heart attack pain usually feels as if it's coming from under your breastbone, while costochondritis pain seems to come from the breastbone itself. Heart attack pain may worsen with physical activity or stress, while the pain of costochondritis remains constant.
Don't waste time, though, trying to distinguish between the two if you're experiencing unexplained and persistent chest pain. Chest pain is an emergency — seek medical attention right away (per Mosby's Online Medical Dictionary). This friends, explains my hospital stay 5/10-11.

I am currently at home and doing well...thanks for the prayers.
