Ouch…ever been kicked by a mule…I haven’t but I think I know what it feels like.

I just had the hernia surgery…the pain of the hernia was less than the pain of the surgery.  Yes, I know in time it will go away…but wow…it hurts.

God teaches us things during pain.  I realize how wonderful a family I have.  My wife and kids have been great.  Literally waiting on me.  My little one, Savannah, always says “Boo, Boo” because she wants to see it.  I also realize what a wonderful church family I have.  The concern and prayers of others has been very nice.  I thank God for the advancements of medicine today.  Just to think this would not have been possible in the 1800’s…you would just have to live with it.  Lastly, we serve a GREAT GOD…it has been nice to have to sit still.  God has ministered to me throughout this.
