The Struggle Has Ended

Let's do it
The seventh night before surgery. Always an odd, quiet sort of night. My body so satisfied and at peace, not knowing what it is in for. My brain knows but cannot sound a warning because it speaks another language.
The only sound is the A/C and an occasional ambulance navigating the construction on Holcombe. Some poor guy must be in pain.
The seventh dinner before surgery. A little Greek at Niko Niko's on Montrose. Lung surgery is the best - they let you eat the night before.
For the seventh time, brother-in-law Mark will be updating this blog until I can get online. Stay tuned.
Not much left to do but get a good night's rest. The elders prayed for me today. Rally caps are on. Hope Hofstetter's resting well. Mom and Dad drove me to Houston. I'm at the Rotary House a few hundred yards from the operating room. My ride comes at 5.
This is my game plan. Time to move forward. Lord, have mercy.

there's the pitch... the swing, and a hit! the ball goes long and high... the sun is in my eyes, i can't see the ball... where is it?
the crowd is going wild... it must be a good one... i can hear the screems but all i see is pure white. it looks good, but did it cross the fence?
i can feel the wind picking up... it's blowing in the right direction... to help push that ball over the fence...
good luck greg
"His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he is watching ....over you Greg"

We'll be praying for that Pujols zinger! For our God is awesome and mighty! We love you, Greg:)
May the Lord bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you. May the Lord lift up the light of His countenance and give you peace! May He guide the hands of the surgeon and all those who attend to you. And may His all sufficient grace and His tender mercies bring you through yet again! In Jesus's name, Amen!
Praise God from Whom all blessing flow!
We are praying for you Greg. We love you.
