An appointment in time.

An Appointment In Time. It Seemed Very Interesting To Me That As Christians We All Claim We Don’t Fear Death But Welcome It As A Relief To This Life, And To Be In The Presence Of The Lord. As Most I Was Of The Same Opinion As Most In This Understanding. I Can Say For Many Years I Claimed Heaven And Was Fully Aware That Being In God’s Presence Is A Lot Better Then This Life.

That All Changed A Few Weeks Ago When The Doctors Basically Gave Me A Time Line For An End Of My Life Here On This Small Sphere Called Earth. At First It Shook Me A Bit But I Never Had Much Faith In Man, Or His Word On Things That Only God Can Control. What It Did Do Is Kick In The Human Will To Survive. For One Reason My Wife Jane And Son Kyle. You Start To Say What Can I Do And Basically What Should I Have Done. Again Not Really Changing Much I Proceeded With My Life And Still Ministered Either In A Capacity Like Before Or From A Hospital Bed. Knowing At One Point Of Time That You Probably Might Not Be Here Doesn’t Give You A Pass To Feel Sorry For Yourself Or Stop Your Ministry.

So They Say I Had A Problem In My Leg And Needed An Operation To Fix It Before I Started The Cancer Treatments. So Here I Go Into The Hospital And Thru Five Hours Of Surgery And Recovery Again. The Lord Is Funny How He Confounds The Wise. From The Pathology Reports It Seems I Was Walking Around Some Time With My Leg Broken In Two Places. I Never Knew Or Really Suffered Any Pain Till A Week Before The Surgery. The Doc Tells Me Last Week That This Kidney Cancer Is Rare And In Only About 400 People In This Country And Mine Is A Different Type Not Seen Before Basically And Bla Bla Bla I’m Hearing.

I Realize That My Life Is In The Lord’s Hand And For His Glory. So I Will Be Healed. I Can’t Believe After Ministering To Thousands And Laying Hands On Them And Seeing Them Healed, God Wouldn’t Heal Me Also. But If Not It Was My Appointed Time And My Work Here Is Done And I Go To A Better Place. It Was Going To Happen Sometime Anyway, No One Ever Cheated Death But By Gods Will.

I’ll Try And Blog More When I Have Something To Say. I Just Glad To See The Doc Scratch Their Head In Wonder How Could It Be. Praise Him For His Mercy Endures Forever… Jim
