asthma aggravation

oy.

i got a new laundry detergent today, all natural, the only scent being essential oils.... well, it's so strong, i've re-washed the load 3 times to try to get out the scent, and it aggravated my asthma badly. i had to put the bottle in a garbage bag and open my windows and leave the house. the washer is running again as i write.

i was going to go to a movie with a friend tonight, but when we got to the theatre, there was a lineup already (cheap night), and just the smell of everybodys..... scents of various sorts.... was enough for me to know i couldn't go it.

so we wandered around town instead, and i only realized when we were finally headed back to my place [to drop me off... to clarify, there's *no* solo inter-gender visiting in private for me!] that his clothes had a fairly strong scent to them... which is why i was coughing and wheezy the whole time.

this after a weekend of coping with asthma flares due to bug dope and the occasional plastic/garbage put on the campfire by someone ignorant of the toxicity of it all.... *sighs*

got prayer for it on sunday morning at the campout 'service'.... but since coming home, it's been aggravated even more than usual!!!.... *sighs*

Outcast, Adopted.

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
