Finally, the wait for my biopsy is over. In reality I guess I should admit it hasn't been that long. But, for me... an eternity. I have been having difficultly passing the time. I have so many interests, that passing time should be no problem. But one has to be focused to be creative, and I haven't been that in the past few days. I am not afraid of the process, but I "sort of" do wish the doctor could give me something to sleep while probing my body with a size 20 needle. I know it is important to stay awake so that I can follow the breathing directions, but really... it is a bit nervewracking. I think I will lay there and design a quilt top in my head.
Now I get to do the fun "fasting" part, beginning this evening. So, between now and tonight I find myself looking to raid the refrigerator, shelves, and anything else that may hold something good to eat. And since I have been working at reducing my diet cola intake, there is none in the house! I admit it, I am a diet cola junkie. This has been the most difficult diet change for me to work on.
As I said before, this biopsy can be a 50% breeze, or a 50% problem. I am going for the "breeze" and planning to be in and out of the hospital in hours. Then, I can have the rest of the week/weekend to visit with both of my children (James and Tina) in one city. Tina is flying up for the biopsy, but I really think it is an excuse so that she can go to one of Brandon's (James' son) football games. We all love to watch his fast pace, focused playing while on the football field. Thank goodness he is only fourteen, and has several years of playing that will give us enjoyable entertainment.
While in California Kayla (Jason's daughter) plays soccer, and I don't get to see that unless I happen to be on a visit to San Jose. Wouldn't it be nice if the airlines gave special prices to grandparents/family members who want to attend sports events? Ha ha.
I will drive to the Tri-Cities tomorrow. Then off to the hospital to do labs, afterwards readying myself for the biopsy. I am driving myself so that Tina will have transportation after flying in. Anyway, I am planning on the day turning out just fine... good food afterwards... and plenty of visiting thru the weekend. All in agreement say "aye."

I continue to think about this subject. Unforgiveness is one of the major hindrances that can hinder your healing. Listen to what Jesus says in Mark 11:25-26. "And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and [let it drop](leave it, let it go), in order that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your failings and shortcomings." Happy New Year 2011, I still think this an important message! A quote by Author: Tami Hoag 2007... What purpose does it serve to hold that anger? What good does it do? Hatred is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die of it."
An Opinion... Isn't it amazing that almost everyone has an opinion to offer about the bible (as well as other subjects), and yet so few have studied it (or the subject)? R. C. Sproul, skywriting.net If only one would read before speaking, they would not look so foolish. Yet, I don't want to get in anyone's face... so I keep dropping hints. Does it help? I hope so...)
