Wednesday afternoon.

All,
Houston; we have a problem..................
Well, try as i might, the system just will not work. As i type, i am waiting for a phone call to tell me when to report to Kennestone. The doctor plans to do some type of procedure which should correct the problem. All i know is that he mentioned scope, camera, and laser. All of which are far to big to go where he intends to put them. Right now i have no other option. The bladder function is unchanged over the past week. Something has to be done, and I am just the guy to have it done!
When I get through this I should have a working experiential understanding of most invasive procedures which are done without the aid of anesthesia. So, in the future, when you wonder how something feels, just give me call.
I did learn today that the nurse who has done such a great job is not a Christian. Maybe that is why I need to go through this! Just wish i had known that a week ago. But then i guess it is my fault for not finding out then for myself.
Please keep the prayers going. Looks like i am still in the need.
Blessings,
PA

Well, we hoped for the best, but........... I sure hope this procedure does the trick. What was that thing on Star Trek, something about where no one has been before….If there is going to be a camera and laser show, maybe you should ask for an 8x10 glossy for show and tell. Then maybe I am the only one who makes light of bad situations.

You and your bride are in our prayers.

Don't you hate it when God decides catheterization is the best route for evangelism!

Sorry man!

Having full knowledge of what they are going to do, I dare say we don't need a picture for show and tell!! Friends, even close friends, don't need to see everything!! Praying for comfort and full bladder function when it is done.

The Lord does work in strange and mysterious ways

Our prayers continue now with an evangelistic twist.

We will be praying that this procedure will cure all your ails. And I know God is using you in a mighty way to teach all of us and others about grace under fire! I am sorry you have to endure this in order to teach, but God has chosen you to send this message and I know he will heal you so that you can continue his good work. Who knows what impact you might have on that "nurse"?
Love to you both, Millie

Hello Aaron,
This is from the "best thing you ever did in Gadsden, Alabama" Judy and I heard about your "experience"
in the Sunshine State on Sunday. We
have been reading your blog every day. We see that you have not lost
that wonderful sense of humor. Our
thoughts and prayers are with you and Denise. We love you both!

Sometimes to speak with athority is expensive. Sometimes we choose to pay the price, other times we are exacted the price. Both can be used for His glory.

You and your bride are amazing.

There are paparazzi that will go to any means for story. Be calm and don't hit anybody. Keep your cool. I agree with Kathy Ratcliffe. There are pictures that should never be taken.

You are in our prayers.

It is probably no comfort to you to know that we are not praying for your healing, but simply for your obedience to Christ during this "thorn" in your "flesh". Oh what mighty things God does through us in our weakness. He is not done accomplishing His purpose in you through this. Sorry for your struggle, but rejoicing in your steadfastness and righteousness! We love you!

I am so glad that you haven't lost your sense of humor. We will continue to keep you and your bride in our prayers. As we have learned the hard way, everything happens in Gods timing. Good Luck and stay strong.
