*Update (Friday 1:30 pm). Just got off the phone with my urologist (who did the surgery). He reviewed the CAT scan and noted that some urine had leaked from the incision he had made in the ureter which would lead to discomfort. He also told me he was a bit concerned with the degree of hydronephrosis (swelling) of my left kidney. He wants to do a ultrasound in two weeks to check on that.
So ... with all of that ... and with Sunday coming (and a sermon to prepare), I leave you with the following quote from John Stott:
“Even the excruciating pain could not silence his repeated entreaties: ‘Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.’ The soldiers gambled for his clothes. Some women stood afar off. The crowd remained a while to watch. Jesus commended his mother to John’s care and John to hers. He spoke words of kingly assurance to the penitent criminal crucified at his side. Meanwhile, the rulers sneered at him, shouting: ‘He saved others, but he can’t save himself!’ Their words, spoken as an insult, were the literal truth. He could not save himself and others simultaneously. He chose to sacrifice himself in order to save the world.”
Thanks for stopping by . . .
