 |  | Notes | |
- SMOKING ENGINE UPDATE: It was caused by a major leak in the power steering fluid system. In the short term we are trying to manage it using leak stop steering fluid, but ultimately we'll need to get it in to the shop.
- Multiply & Facebook friends. Thanks for bearing with me. I'm relearning how to do many things which were once easy for me, such as make videos and interact on the web. Its deeply frustrating. I miss you all very much. I find though that only doing a very little bit online taxes me greatly, and I have to go stare off into space after a maximum of 10 minutes. But I'm determined to figure out how to get back what fibro & pain have stripped away from me. DANKE!
- Special prayer request for my wife! Social Security has suspended her disability payments for 5 months. Its a burro-cratic mess, but the end result is that she's spending all her time on the phone to try to clear it up, and it may not work. This may push us to bankruptcy, and even then I'm not sure how we'll afford our pain meds, much less food. And that's on top of our ongoing health and family fun. She's brave and strong, but she/we need help!
- I'm still alive... computer DIED 10 days ago, just got it working... now they are forecasting a MASSIVE ice storm, so might be a while before I can post anything.

- Tess came home from the hospital Tuesday. (Sorry, the hurricanes blowing through my life haven't abated, no sign of the eye yet even, so took a while to get on to post.) Thanks for the prayers, support, concern.
- Major death in the family. Not my or Tess' mother, but next thing to that. If any of you can help "bobby" go ahead and email me at listig@inbox.com and I'll get to it when things are a bit calmer.
- FIBROMYALGIA IS IN THE BIBLE!!!! Job 30:16"And now my soul is(V) poured out within me;
days of affliction have taken hold of me.
17(W) The night(X) racks my bones,
and the pain that(Y) gnaws me takes no rest.
- I am appalled by this vile act of violence planned in the Name of Christ, the Prince of Peace. As a Christian, as a theologian, as a pastor, as a human being.

I hope to say more when I can find the words and energy (fibro running amok, can't even gfocus on screen to type this, have eyes closed)
- Keep getting texts from a # I don't recognize. To one "how are u?" I answered "Well, the demonic voices in my head aren't yelling as loudly as before, but they are giving me strange casserole recipes"
- "We have to steward our energy and medicine as carefully as castaways on a desert island do their water." - Me, today, of those with chronic painful disabilities.

 | Hi - hope you don't mind me stopping by. Couldn't help but notice your message on Suzy's page, and wanted to peek in on a fellow fibromite. *waves* |
 | hi there Peter, thanks for stopping by. I am healing from my surgery, but still off from work, probably won't be back until the end of next month? not sure yet. I hope you get out of your fibrofog too, take care! |

While all of my “Word Pictures” are labors of love, this one has special significance for several reasons. One is that it is a photo from one of my favorite places on the planet, the Badlands in South Dakota. I took it on vacation in 1996.... more
