Great friends and sinus surgery

Okay, bad title because in all honesty the two are not really related.

I will start with the latter. PS is having sinus surgery today. All of her sinus (which include two most people do not have) are 88-92% congested and she has a deviated septum. She is going to be miserable for the next day or so, but should be feeling much better after that. However, in March, we are scheduling to have her tonsils and adnoids taken out. This should all help her breathing, which will increase her oxygen level in her blood, which will increase her energy level, which will improve her attitude and weight issues, and over all improve the quality of her life, thus increasing the quality of ours. So, yes, this is all about me, thank you very much.

Anyone can argue with who wants to, but I will always contend I have the greatest friends on this planet. My "new" friends (those I have only known since leaving OKC) are the type of people who are constantly challenging me to grow and become a truer form of what God wants me to be. My "old" friends (those I have known since college, high school, junior high or since I was five) are the type that think about me and immediatly start praying for me then let me know about it. All of my friends support us in what we are doing, encourage me, strengthen me and just love me. I could not get through my days without these people.

I think of Hebrews, when the writer is talking about a great cloud of witnesses. I used to think that he was just talking about those people of faith who had passed away and were looking down on us. That is not the case. My cloud of witnesses include many who have gone on before me (Shannon, Uncle Bill, Aunt Elsie, Stacy, Nathan and the list goes on) but is also includes those I am blessed to still have here today...I am not even going to attempt to make a list because it would take up too much time and space. And I don't want to leave anyone off and thus offend someone. I will say, I will always look forward to the day we will all be united in heaven and not struggle with the ways of the world anymore.

Have a great valentines day!
