Addicted

(HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANYELLE FLEMING)
Okay Okay, so I'm a bit addicted to this blogging thing now. It reminds me alot of when I had a livejournal. I was crazy on that thing. Sometimes I would post more than once a day. HAH The funnier part is that people actually read through what I said and would comment...so does anybody read this? Comment if you do and I'll be sure to give you a shout out next time ;)






I have a praise to make. My great uncle Johnny has had heart problems for a long time now; he's had triple bypass (sp?) surgery and all this crazy stuff done and he hasn't died yet! It's kind of a medical wonder that he's as sick as he is and he's still truckin' along...well yesterday his lung collapsed and with his bad heart it's really really bad :( I was really upset, I just kind of sat in my dorm room for a while and sobbed when my mom told me...I felt bad too because it might have made that awkward for Katie and Kayla who didn't really know how to react. Well I was sitting in Argos (our crusty cafeteria on campus) with Ryan and Eli (and this kid John who I don't really know) and my mom called me and put Uncle Johnny on the phone! IT WAS SO COOL talking to him because my mom when I first talked to her earlier yesterday she said it really wasn't looking good. Uncle Johnny, to my understanding from his testimony, from what he has said to me, and what he has told my mom he's a believer; and its amazing to see him go into all of these crazy circumstances not fearing death because he's ready to see Jesus. I love him so much and it upsets me to think of ANYBODY dying, but to hear that he's ready to go and he has NO fear in death....man. How awesome is that? He's going to be in ICU for 2 days but I really want to see him at least one more time before he dies because...I don't know...I just would just so I can give him one more hug, you know?


All right I suppose that's all. Seriously though, thanks for reading this (if anybody out there does).


BYE

what you said about your uncle reminds me of the part in the hymn on jordans stormy banks, where it says "sickness sorrow pain and death are felt and feared no more."
