This summer in our series “At The Movies,” I spoke on navigating thru the dark seasons of life. To my surprise, it has been one of the most popular and requested series to date. In fact, I started writing a book on it. More on that later…
Throughout the series, one of the things I repeatedly encouraged our church to do was to go see a doctor if you are not feeling well. It sounds simple, but it’s one of the most spiritual things we can do.
I don’t know about you, but I hate going to the doctor! Maybe it’s the whole turn your head and cough thing. At any rate, I have been to more doctors this summer than at any time in my life. I have been poked and prodded like cattle…moo. I have had more blood drawn from my body than I thought was humanly possible. I had no clue I would turn into a blood factory!
The results? Bottom line they said I’m Borderline. My Doc had a long talk with me. He said, “Buddy you are at High Risk for heart disease, a heart attack, diabetes, and more.” Well, thanks a lot for the encouragement, Doc! I’m still absorbing this high risk thing, and frankly I’m working through the ramifications if I don’t change.
Well that’s the bad news. Here is the good news…if I drastically change my lifestyle, I can get out of the high risk area. Well, I’m going for it. My plan?
I’ll share that tomorrow…
“no weapon formed against you shall prosper” in Jesus name. Can’t wait to read the book.
Thank you Elizabeth!
