I had hoped to update my blog weekly. James 4:15 has really hit home. It says, "For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that."
Within the past few months, heavy fatigue set in again. Apparently, a lot of it had to do with the effects of the steroid tapering. I'm down to 1mg daily, but my adrenal gland is trying to adjust. (At least, I think that's what my rheumatologist was saying.) I also had to get another injection behind my left eye. There's still leakage inside both eyes, but the left is the worst. My uveitis specialist wasn't sure if it's related to the uveitis or to the pars planitis. And, the cyst at the back of the left eye is still there but improving.
I see how much of a vapor life really is. The big plans I had since my youth--being an attorney, getting married and having children--all evaporated, dissipated, faded away. Even seemingly smaller plans can disappear. And, life itself can be gone like a puff of smoke. Life on Earth as it is is a puff of smoke. You don't know what will happen next week or even in the next hour or minute. I'm at peace with how temporary this life is, though, from the small plans to the big picture. My heart is with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My eyes are on everlasting life.
I'm not going to post any poems or links today. I do have an announcement, though. If you're in the San Antonio, Texas area this coming Saturday (September 8, 2012), there's going to be a praise poetry reading at a local library. If you're interested, contact me for the details. God bless you.
