Have fun Semeia,

| Posted 7/3/2002 5:03 PM (GMT -6) | | All I can say is, I'm glad everything went well! My Mother dealt with lung cancer last summer, and I honestly believe that had we not prayed over her before surgery, things would not have turned out as well as they did. (Complete sucess, and my mother is still in remission!) It's wonderful to see the power of prayer in action!
Greg, your work reminds us of our call. We are blessed by your gifts everyday through this site. May God continue to bless you!

I was glad to be able to post this prayer request. Doc never gave me permission to do that before. (Despite his public persona, he's usually very private about things like this.) So I want to thank HIM for letting everyone in.

| Posted 7/5/2002 7:29 PM (GMT -6) | | Heh all you drug fiends, back off. Get your own cancer.
THESE DRUGS ARE ALL MINE!!!
Thanks for all the warmth, prayers, congrats on still being alive etc. I feel grateful. I look ... well.. lets put it this way" A person today searched long and hard for something positive to say about my face and came up... "wow, the long scar on your bottom lip is almost in line with the scar on your upper lip. cool." I was touched. Cal me pastor Pachino. (recall scar face).
But looks be damned I say. (well, they are) I think its just God's way of finally leveling the playing field a bit for other guys. I mean honestly, it just wasn't fair. Now the poor suckers stand atleast a fighting chance.
I'd just be happy if I could before long actually USE the bottom lip I have left. Right now its just sort of numb meat, dangling there, jiggling uselessly to the throbbing of my heart (which as I said before, the doctor inserted into my lip, I'm sure). I talk kind of like I have a permanent fondness for the King James Version... Praith The Lorth Eveebody. Thombody Thay Hawawuyya. I feel like singing Gawry Indiana. Thilly Preacher. Thounds a bit like Twiddybird and that there Puthhy Cat.
Okay, enough. Just wanna say thanks to you all. I wuv you all thou much for cawing about wittle ol me. 
In his peace
Greg
ps. STAY AWAKE ICON!!!!

Halle-julia!! (Sounds like a drink. "I'll take a Halle-julia! And she'll have one too."  ). Great to see that surgery went well Greg! I prayed for ya.
Now, 'bout them drugs. 
Before I left Dallas I had my wisdom teeth removed. All four were impacted. The Dr. didn't give me as strong of a dose as my wife recieved (we both had our teeth removed at the same time). Go figure, since males bones are more dense than females.
Ahh!!! The Pain!!Thehorriblepain...
Member that Dustin Hoffman movie where the German scientist tortures him by yanking his teeth out without any meds?
Yea. That was me.
Well, when I left the dentist's office, the pain was excruciating. The pressure across my face was unbearable. I took one or two extra pills and they did diddly-squat. So my wife gave me one of hers. I went and laid back down and around 11 o'clock pm that evening, BOOM! I was a new man!
I had to get a prescription for her dose and while she was on them for two weeks, I was on them for a month. So, I can relate to ya Greg. And I am somewhat sympathetic to those who take prescription pain killers when they may not really need them, aka, Michael English.
Thanks for the up-date, and keep us posted.
Brandon

| Posted 7/7/2002 7:32 PM (GMT -6) | | I had four impacted wisdom teeth as well, and I have to say coming out of THAT surgery was worse than coming out of this one -- maybe because pain meds have improved in 20 years. THAT WAS TERRIBLE.
But remember, when in the midst of agonizing pain, to find consolation in the knowledge that this is all part of a glorious plan that was concocted an eternity ago.

I don't know any Calvinists who actually think that way, though.
Is this just a "straw man"? | | Back to Top | | |

I think it’s supposed to be a joke. Electra

(I like that joke too! )
But seriously, I have a xerox of sermon notes by a Dutch Reformed (CRC) missionary to Mali (A Dutchman doing arid-lands cattle herding as a form of "tent making" and cultural integration...). In it the Islamic position of Allah being "totally free" was clearly dramatized in a story of a young boy who had been listening to the missionary, and who then went to ask the Moslem holy man.
It does appear to me, that some who call themselves Calvinists do resemble, then, Islam, more than Christianity in that respect. But that Dutch Calvinist missionary isn't one of them.
Thought someone should say.
