endure afflictions
One thing I have struggled with this week has been illness. It started as a simple cold last week but by Wednesday this week it was clear that my illness was getting worse so I called up a preacher friend and asked him if he could fill my churches pulpit Sunday. Now my doctors are asking me to come back in for a CT Scan to verify a abnormality they found on my x-rays so I was thinking to myself how fortunate I was to call in my preacher friend when tonight I got a call from him and he told me he was sick and couldn't be there in the morning... So even though I had made plans not to preach things have changed and I find a new appreciation for 2 Timothy 4:5 "But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry."

Re: endure afflictions
Did you ever find out anything about that alleged abnormality?

Re: endure afflictions
Not a thing on that yet. I missed over a weeks pay while down with the combination of flu+pneumonia and then had the "super storm of 2011" hit and lost another couple of days. Sometime in March I will have the money to pay my insurance deductible so I will go through the CT scan then and see what turns up.

Thank you bvr, I am sure it is nothing serious but there is no sense taking chances...

Re:
It cost $500 to discover this was nothing but a "dust scar" which the doctors say is common in the plain states.
