How Much Energy will that take???

It seems I find myself wondering how much energy things will take. Simple things that would normally not even be something I would think about seem to wipe me out. For example, Friday night we went to dinner at a local restaurant. We were there for about an hour and a half and I was exhausted. The family wanted to go to The Parlour for ice cream afterwords, but I had no energy. Had Alexis bring me home and her the kids, and the in-laws went. I sat on the couch turned on the TV then crashed. I could not believe that something as simple as going to dinner would wipe me out like that.

Not having much in balance issues, so the weeks off that the Drs want me to take must be for me to build my strength back up. I had heard it would take some time, but I did not think it would be this bad. Heck I thought I would be back at church preaching by now, but I see no way for me to have the energy to stand up and talk for 30 minutes, let alone all the prep that goes into it.

While it has been rough realizing I can't do everything, I have been catching up on my sleep and watching a lot of movies. Even been playing some video games.

I can say, God has been good to me. Even though I have been dealing with leg cramps, He is helping me get better each day. Not 100% yet, but expect my leg to get there soon. Then I can really start walking. For now it has been 20 minutes on the exercise bike everyday, 5 minutes at a time. At least I am moving.

Hope to be up to spending more time in front of the PC in the coming days, so I can write about my adventure at UofM.

I pray everyone that reads this has a blessed day!

Robert

Sermon - Christmas Peace - Luke 2:14 - Littleby Baptist Church - December 20, 2020

Luke 2:14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to people he favors!” All Glory and Honor belong to our God!  May the Lord’s Peace fall on each of us. May the Peace that defies all logic and reasoning be with you. Peace is one of those things that has escaped many of us at times in 2020. The struggles many faced with job issues, medical issues, family uncertainty, and more made it hard to hold on to Peace. Part of the problem I think is that we were trying to find our own peace. When things are starting to get to us one of the first things many of us do is to attempt to create peace on our own. We may go sit in a dark and quiet room, take a long hot bath, listen to some music, spend time in the workshop, sew, or whatever we think will help us step away from the craziness that is getting to us. Doing these types of things to bring calm may help for a while, they may help us step away, but the reality is they do not help us to have the full Peace of the Lord

Sermon March 20, 2011 - Jeremiah 29:11-14 God has a plan

No Audio file this week, but here are my notes. Message title: Jeremiah 29:11-14 God Has A Plan The Big Idea for message: Even when we do not understand why things are happening, during the good and the bad, God has a plan. Sticky Statement: Seek God with all that you have and He will restore you!! Misc: Before I get started this morning, I have a service announcement. Some of us have been using the NIV translation for up to 25 years now. Well Zonderzan, the publisher, is updating the NIV Bible. They are coming out with a 2011 version. I tend to be a fan of reading different Bible versions, but I want to caution everyone. The 1984 version of the NIV is a good Bible, a few years back they came out with the TNIV version which was gender neutral in a lot of places that was not right. In some places it referred to God in a gender neutral way, I do not agree with that. Now the new 2011 NIV is based more on the TNIV than the 1984 version of the NIV, so it has roughly 3600 gender ne
