Tasha just left to return to California - it will be too quiet and lonely, but I need to return to my life and figure where it is going.   We are looking into feeding-tube issues with Darren's father too.

Strange to be looking at your own end in a clinical way - clearly I am on the mend now, even if just temporarily.   I am starting to feel better and I am typing now instead of using speech dictation.  How long will any of this last? 

Living in the day to day is somewhat easier for me now - now that I have a sabbatical and do not need to be in the daily grid of emails and students issues.  Where do you want me to go Lord?   I know I need to work up my health now - more walks, more exercises, but what about my academic work?   As life returns to less company and more normalcy, please speak loudly to me Lord Jesus.   I am very good at hearing only "my will."  Please let me know your will.
