Well, surgery wasn't till 11:30 this morning, and she(my sister-in-law) didn't go into surgery till about an hour ago. She's been in the waiting area for 2 hours and not too mention the surgeon was late getting out of his other procedure. So I'm gonna be stuck at this hospital all day. Cause this is about a 5 hour surgery. I hate the waiting game so much!!
Been there and done that for sure.

I honestly don't sweat the various portraits of Jesus. Frankly, the emaciated, wistfully dreamland, spaced out Jesus most often shown is a little silly. Even the baby paintings of him are ridiculous.

One hour down, four to go -- hang in there, honey!

I will say a prayer for her.

Is it O.K. to ask, what kind of surgery?

( NO pressure, honey. NONE whatsoever. )

EDIT: Just hang around this bunch -- time flies! ;)

Yeah, waiting in a hospital is tough. My best sister, next to the oldest, (6 kids, I was next to youngest) had an aneurism in her brain. Doctors operated on her and saved her life. I spent many hours in that hospital waiting. She had another a few weeks later and that one took her life.

Humans are such delicate creations. I desire so much to see what God's plan is. I'm gonna make it, He wants me to and He has too much invested in me for me to quit now.

This is one of my pet peeves. Why do people insist on showing Jesus with long hair.
Paul said: "Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?"

Nature was created by God. No one in their right mind could think that Jesus went against His Father's design.
I cannot help but agree with you here. I know ( by faith ) that our Lord Jesus never did one single thing that would displease His Father or "go against" any part of the Truth that He is, and has set into existence.

The answer to your question is actually quite simple.

Remember always that it is the habit of Satan to try to get people to see "anything but the truth" -- to "change" the "picture" of truth in whatever way he can - even in the smallest and must subtle way possible. He tries to "paint the picture" - any picture - whatever picture - the whole picture -- in a way that is false - that will lead people away from God. He cannot stand for people to see "the simple truth" that God has placed before them to see. So, he tries to "change" truth - in every conceivable way - to mislead and misdirect people...

Make sense?

Yeah, a lot of times for me, its hard to really see some of these depictions debating the Pharisees or flipping over tables and so forth. :cool:

She is having brain surgery. She's got a tumor in her brain so they are going in to remove it. This isn't her first rodeo of surgery either. The last one she had was 2 years ago, and this time it's worse. But family together and praying together... What's better than that? Oh and my CC family too. You guys keep me going and staying positive. :)

She and you are in our prayers LilBit. All who've read your post are petitioning our Father in Christ on her behalf .. and yours. Rest in His love while you wait.

I'm so nervous...I feel like crying but what good will that do me? Lol it's not fear I have, it's the unknown and that her brain is being operated on... The most unnerving thing ever.

Ive had a couple of bad days. I finally got in to see my doctor late yesterday afternoon. My sodium level is low (1 point below hospitalization) and it's dragging me down. We're going to have to change my seizure medication. It's always a difficult period. Pray that we can find one that controls my seizures.

It's always a joy to find Christians who love to discuss the Bible and share the joys in their lives at the same time.
