some random thoughts...
yesterday morning at 7:30AM, i said "goodbye" to the ICU.
in some ways, i'm actually sad. i learned a lot last month medically. i held a sister while she bravely signed a do-not-resuscitate order for her dying brother. i told a son that his mother's prognosis was very poor. i confused my body so much that i had no sense of the day-of-the-week or time-of-the day. i laughed hard, every chance i got, because emotionally i was pushed to my limits.
i'm now on day 3 of 3 of a Daniel fast - i will break my fast tomorrow morning. the first day i thought i'd never make it. but now i'm sad it's coming to a close. i still can't get Pastor Keller's words out of my mind: "Christ's work on the cross was the greatest act of self-control in all history..."
and how's this for the sad-quote-of-our-times:
Alanis Morissette - "We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect."
praise and thanks to God - in Christ that is as far from the truth as we could possibly get.
