hmm, yes, lovely

came darn close to blacking out last night (after going to the loo), majorly painful cramping, hands got cold and white, darkness and flashes of light were closing in on my vision.....

crawled to the phone, and called an ambulance, then my dear friend mickie... waited a few minutes on the cool linoleum.... the paramedics took my blood pressure, sat me up.... i managed to walk to the amby (i guess that means i was ambulatory by then, lol) and got a nice ride 2 blocks to emerg.

saw the doc, he poked around my belly and listened to my gurgling gut, then sent me home.

he said it was just (albeit he acknowledged it was a scared-the-hell-outta-me 'just') .... gas cramps.

i think they were chuckling when i left.

needless to say, i was - and still am - not so amused....

i thought i was gonna die!

    Gah, you poor thing. I had that feeling once, turned out to be heartburn that came on during my sleep. It was awful.

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

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
