antibiotics

so i muddled my way to the doctor today.... antibiotics. when i said i was coughing up brown junk, he was like, that means it's time for antibiotics.

now i've had some weird reactions to antibiotics, so he put me on an old standby, zithromax (azithromyacin i believe). that's why i didn't go to emerg on sunday when i was desperately in pain enough to: likely they just send me to my own doctor the next day. they don't usually like prescribing antibiotics to someone allergic to antibiotics... and is not sure which ones!

so here it is, half past 5 in the afternoon, i took my first two about 5 hours ago, and in a way i feel a bit better.... and in a way, not at all. we'll see if i can make prayer tonight (assuming there *is* prayer tonight that is, seein' as how i missed the announcements at church yesterday!)... but honestly, i don't know if i will. i feel a bit nauseous now, and that could be the antibiotics themselves (bleh).

but oh well, God is in control!

The Radical Summons: "
Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
