Labor Day

We have been busy getting everything ready for Detroit. The hospital in Detroit wanted a copy of my 3T MRI and my 48 hour VEEG. We filled out all the paperwork to release this information so everthing has been done. Now we wait to leave. We were able to get in with family housing!!! We will be staying at the Ronald McDonald house which is right across the street from the hospital. We have to call 24 hours in advance to put our name on the list but the lady didn’t see it being a problem. Other than that we increased my lamictal last week. We haven’t noticed that it has helped any but I’ve been sick and running fever. My seizures are worse when I’m sick. We increase it again next weekened so we will see. We are still hopeful that one day we will get control of these 100 plus seizures that I’m having a day. I still continue to be a miracle. I started pulling up on the couch this week. It took me one time and now I’m doing it all the time. Thanks for praying for me and I hope you enjoy the video!!!

Tropical Storm Lee moved through early this morning and left us some more rain.  I hope no one had any damage.  I think we are fine.  Thank-you, Lord!

The following list of “Things I Learned From Noah’s Ark” (author unknown) is making the rounds.

1. Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.

2. Stay fit. When you’re 600 years old, someone might ask you to do
something REALLY big.

3. Don’t listen to critics — do what has to be done.

4. Build on high ground.

5. For safety’s sake, travel in pairs.

6. Speed isn’t always an advantage. The cheetahs were on board, but so
were the snails.

7. Don’t forget that we’re all in the same boat.

8. Stay below deck during the storm.

9. Remember that the ark was built by amateurs and the Titanic was
built by professionals.

10. If you have to start over, have a friend by your side.

11. Remember that the woodpeckers INSIDE are often a bigger threat than
the storm outside.

12. Don’t miss the boat.

13. No matter how bleak it looks, there’s always a rainbow on the other
side.

The writer of Hebrews would add one more thing to that list — the importance of having a faith in God strong enough to lead us to obey his commands. For having that trait, Noah was included in God’s “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews 11:

“By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.” (Hebrews 11:7)

What is your faith leading you to do in response to God?

Have a great day!
