Did you get the significant message of my last post? It had a depth to it that amazed even me. I was either speaking in an unknown tongue; or, so heavily sedated I couldn't hit the right keys. Want to know the truth? - - Yes, I was sedated but the big problem was that I couldn't make Theresa's laptop work. And after three tries and still failing, I gave up. I quit.
The hip replacement surgery went well. Four hours after surgery, they had me up and walking around. WEdnesday brought out the ol fire in the belly competitveness activity. I wanted to go home on Thursday, so worked my rehab exercise more than what I should have and paid for it Thursday.
Molly was kind to drive us home SAturday. Been so groggy with the medication that can't stay alert long enough to put together some spritual nuggets.
Wanting to spend more time with our chilldren and grandkids. So we're shopping for an inexpensive RV. Anyone know of one that could have Burwicks name on it?

Tough Times can be Valuable
"There's more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary - we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!" Romans 5:3-5 The Message
