To: Bob Ireland

Thank you for the prayers. Helping the wife through this is a lot like the old saying, “Turn-about is fair play.”

The computer is still operating in ‘safe mode only’ and that is a pain in the posterior. A full repair or new computer would rectify it. Someday soon I hope.

I saw your problems interfering with your life more than mine were with me at the time. I have been saying prayers that your condition has improved.

Along with Interstitial Lung Disease “relapse,” dizziness has added more medications. So along with the blowing up like a balloon, having big chipmunk cheeks, and a suppressed immune system, I am fighting dizzy spells as well. These med’s make me super tired and fatigued. They seem to zap my cognitive processing as well as my memory to a degree.

I could go on, but when I get to thinking its tough, I don’t have to look very hard to see others who would trade places with me in a heart beat.

Ultimately, I know I am blessed. As an example, I found out I have a Factor 5 Liden, Gene Mutation that increases the likelihood of blood clots. It’s hereditary to about 2% of the world’s population. Xerelto or Coumadin can reduce the chance of re-occurring clots.

I do appreciate the Prayers.

I will tell you my serendipity story about the fellow who went to his guru:
. . . . .
He visits his guru and says, "guru, my life is a mess; my business is nearly failing, my kids always talk back to me and my wife won't really listen to me."

The old guru stirs and finally looks up; "This too shall pass," he murmers.

Six months later the man returns to the guru and excitedly blurts, "Wow, guru! You were right! My life is wonderful; my business is booming, my kids jump when I speak to them and my wife attends to my every wish!"

The old guru looks the man in the eye and says, "This too shall pass."
. . . . .
Which is amusing, but it reminds us that faith in Jesus is the only faith with hope. We know the final outcome in every challenge and hold to a certain future. The Lord knows your needs, and He will supply them according to His riches and Glory. His Word will not return to Him void.
God bless! IR
