Fear Is a Prison

So perhaps you’ve read today’s post over at the parish parlor blog and you know that I’m being treated for a potentially deadly problem with my heart.

In the words of Lenny LeBlanc in “O God, You Are My God” from the album Pure Heart

So I will bless Thee
as long as I live I will lift up my hands to Thy name
So I will bless Thee
as long as I live
and in the shadow of Thy wings I sing for joy.

As long as I’m still alive, I will continue to seek His glory. This is not the time to be afraid of what might happen; I’ll follow the best advice I can find, but only God can make it work. And if God is ready for me to report in person, no one and nothing can keep me here. I don’t care for this medication so far, but the doctors insisted I should be able to live as before. And probably far longer than any of us could guess.

So, let’s get to work and make the most of what time we have together, long or short. We are in a time of tribulation and miracles will be tossed out to His adoring children generously. Aside from the blog itself, everything we do as an online parish should continue fine with or without me. You are all still the same wonderful brothers and sisters walking in heart-led conviction of the truth.
