Prayer & Praise
We make a pause
amid many voices –
some innocent and some seductive,
some violent and some coercive,
some forgiven and genuine,
some not.
Amid this cacophony that pulls us
in many directions,
we have these old voices of your prophets;
these voices attest to
your fierce self,
your severe summons,
your generous promise,
your abiding presence.
Give us good ears,
perchance you have a word for us tonight;
Give us grace and courage to listen,
to answer,
to care,
and to rejoice,
that we may be more fully your people.
ahh, amen, Walter, amen

Yesterday during a visit with a kidney specialist I had seen previously it turns out I have a parathyroid problem that very well has been causing my kidney stones. I am set for some tests as well as a colonoscopy (low iron) and another procedure with my urologist. If things are what they seem they may want to operate and remove one or more parathyroid glands. My anxiety is high because of how these procedures might provoke anxiety. I simply desire to have peace during this time. I am terrified of having a panic episode during one of the tests.
Hi dusty!!
