A New Child of God has been Born! 01-27-08 03:47pm EST
I had the privilege, with tears of joy in my eyes, to baptize my son this morning.

He actually went forward during the invitation at the end of the sermon, before the invitation song. Tim Mahler, his girlfriend's father, preached an excellent lesson about making a new beginning in 2008, and at the end of his lesson, Scott went forward, before he was finished with his invitation. Tim added, "Now that's eagerness!" After Scott made his confession of faith, Tim invited me to come to the back to change. I put on the wading pantboots, while Scott changed. I rolled up my sleeves and tucked my tie in. I said a few words to the congregation, and baptized him. While making sure that he got completely underwater, I got my shirt and tie wet. Getting wet didn't bother me, because this was a very special event. I'm sure that neither Scott or myself will forget this day. It is a wonderful thing when your child becomes a Child of God!
curlieWonderful news! :)

Heather's Surgery 01-08-08 12:53pm EST
Dr. O'Bryan said that Heather's surgery went well. She will not have the monthly pain, so she will be happier and I will be happier. He also removed her appendix which was covered with endometriosis. The abdominal incision should heal fairly quickly, and she should leave the hospital on Friday. Her surgery was from about 10:30 to 11:30 this morning. She will probably be in recovery for one or two hours and then she will be moved upstairs to a room.

We had to be here at the hospital at 6:00 this morning for surgery prep. We were sent to a room where Heather answered a lot of questions to make sure that she followed the directions given to her on Friday at her pre-op visit. We waited while I reviewed some drawings from the office and she enjoyed her ipod, watching some videos. Then we were separated and she went to surgery and I went to a waiting room. Along with 50 others, we watched a screen with all of the patient codes. At first her code was on a yellow background (prep), then green (surgery), then blue (moving from surgery to recovery), this phase was short, then purple (recovery) and her favorite color. Purple also made me feel good to know that her surgery was complete. It was sort of cool watching the screen and knowing where she was at that time. I'm probably talking too much. Please post any questions.
sobern90Glad everything went well and Heather is doing good in recovery. 
missprissSo happy to hear that things went well for Heather. I would like to send her a "recovery gift". Any ideas? 
dsw712Regarding gifts, she is enjoying her Chrismas gift: an 80 GB ipod classic. She has downloaded some movies, tv shows, music, books, etc. There is still room for lots of other things, if you want to send her a link to something (The hospital has free wireless internet). She may post something soon. She is taking a nap now. 
waterguyglad everything went well. That is a good idea with the monitor in the waiting room. My prayers continue to be with both of you. 
paulaGlad that everything went well. Hope the recovery progresses well too. You all continue to be in my prayers. Take Care 
deusvitaeGlad to hear she is doing well. 
xray342This is very good news. :-D

P.S. When do we start to hear some deep thoughts from you, sir? :-)

P.P.S. She has an iPod now? 
hthuskiesGlad everything went well 
split_rockThanks for letting us know how Heather is doing. I'm glad things went well with the surgery. 
cyber_space_cadetThanks for letting us know. I'm glad things went so well. It's pretty neat how you can watch the progress...I haven't heard of that before. 
dsw712Thanks for all your prayers. We can see the results. Her cathader has been removed, oxygen removed, IV removed, pain pump removed, and leg messagers removed. She has been getting up to use the restroom and will be walking the halls soon. The doctor was amazed at lunchtime today. Again, thank you for your prayers. 
xray342More good news! (I hope they didn't remove all of her oxygen though.) 
prov3110No - not all; just enough that Don knows I'm not a space alien surviving off hydrogen alone. :P 
prov3110Somebody needs a new post .... :P 
prov3110BTW ... I love you! 
xray342Yes, somebody needs a new post. And she loves you. :-) 
prov3110I'm glad somebody agrees with me. :D
