My Henry is a patient there for his hearing problems. Fortunately for us, the doctors there have been great--even fantastic-- (with the exception of Mr. High and Mighty--he wouldn't even walk all the way into the room when he consulted us...he stood in the doorway, with his hand on the door knob, and told us Henry should have an ABR, which we already knew. Thanks.) I hope things go better on Wednesday. There is nothing worse than being in your position, and then having those guys treat you that way. I'm so glad you can have your electronics and your Good News! That makes is almost tolerable, right? Good luck...still thinking of you, and praying for your strength and peace.

You have been on my heart for the past year and a half and I consider it a privilege to learn from and pray for you, my sister in Christ. Recently I've found myself returning to a certain passage of Scripture in Mark 9. The father of the boy with an unclean spirit says to Jesus, "'if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us'. And Jesus said to him, 'If you can! All things are possible for one who believes.' Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, 'I believe; help my unbelief!'" What an honest cry - as believers we trust and hope in Christ, yet our faith in ever wavering! But God, the One who changes our hearts and gives us the gift of faith will help us in our struggles against unbelief. Angie, my prayer for you as you enter into this time of isolation is that God will strengthen your faith and help you know His steadfast love and a peace that surpasses all understanding. And I will be praying for Brian and your sweet little kiddos as they await your return! Love in Christ, Katie Dear Angie,

While in the recovery room after my surgery at this hospital, I was ignored until I shouted up a storm. Make yourself known and you are fine. After I had the bad experience an angel came to me and helped me and I had the nicest nurse ever. So a bad experience became good (well relatively speaking) kind of like yours. After meeting this nurse I sang the doxology over and over thanking God for this man who was so good to me. Wishing you the best, Christina I know what you mean about THE UNIVERSITY, even though I graduated from there I ashamed at the quality of service I received while I was a patient there.

What a walk, walking in newness of life in the midst of a storm and He exalts Himself in you and you in Him. May His grace, mercy and peace be multiplied to in fullest measure and also to your precious husband. In Him we can rest in the finished work of Christ.

And I am thankful that you can hang on to your saran-wrapped connections to this world and the world beyond. I pray that will help you feel less isolated while you're in, well, isolation. May God be very, very close to you while you are away from your family and loved ones. I am sorry you had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
