Gasp! I woke up this morning and found my wife having a HUGE asthma attack so we rapidly progressed from living-room to the urgent care center to the emergency room to being admitted to the hospital. So here we sit in Dominican Hospital after 3 horrible asthma episodes that left my wife with
crazy high blood pressure levels, gasping for air and on the verge of passing out. The normal treatments that usually send her home after an hour haven't worked and so they say they'll be keeping us for a couple of days or maybe through the weekend.
We have had an
otherworldly series of rhino-sized problems since we set off on the Elevation expedition -- we must be doing something right.
It would be easy to be gasping for air spiritually right now, but somehow we're really just a bit spiritually winded at worst today, God is so grace giving. I hope to continue to stay somewhere above gasping for spiritual air. Strange how you can be only slightly winded at major things but be SUCKING AIR BIG TIME on the small things on some days. I am reminded how much I need Jesus to be able to breath easy with regard to emotions.
So pray for Andrea to be well enough to come home soon, for our sketchy minimal medical insurance to pay for much more than we expect it to and for me to get the chance to finish the sermon for this Sunday night in the midst of all the festivities.
