Rebecca's Guestbook

My Dear Friend Rebecca, I thought I'd write a private email but apparently I don't have your address. I'm really saddened to hear that you're having more trouble but most of all I'm saddened that you say you're scared. I know you know many scriptures that are comfort when we fear the unknown. I don't think you're facing the "unknown" it's just that we don't want to go there. Two years ago yesterday I went to my primary doc for an annual and she was alarmed by my heart. She made an appointment for me not the next day but the day after. No messing around. While I was at that cardio PA my heart rate went to 30 BPM. they didn't like that but Baylor Scott & White RR couldn't deal with that on a Thursday. So they got some ambulance drivers from Bastrop to take me to Temple, So I'm lying on a table looking up and this doc asks about directives and that stuff that I had none of. So he asked about what I wanted to do if.......... From my back I just needed to look up to talk to Jesus, asked if all was clear up there and He told me that I knew it was clear but he had more stuff for me to do. I've been doing His stuff for two years now and I'll go back to that doc tomorrow. I have a pacemaker and I'm keeping pace. The 23rd Psalm is so common that many just take it with little meaning. Think about "The valley of the shadow of death". We don't go into a dead end valley of death, we just go into a valley, and all valleys have a way in and a way out. The shadow of death may be over that valley but it's just a shadow. Shadow boxing? The shadow can't hurt you and neither can death. Jesus has overcome death for all who trust. I hope I haven't been to grim, especially at Christmas. I know the Savior who's birth we celebrate will have you by the hand and I pray He has more stuff for you to do. To enjoy life. With love, John
