It's been of couple of days since I've last wrote. I spent the last two nights in Charleston with my mom and dad. I do have good news, the heart cath went well. The doctor said that the heart muscle looks strong and that he only has one minor blockage that doesn't require any tending to at this time. He has plenty of blood flow and his heart seems to be in great shape. However, they are still running some tests to figure out why his heart rate drops rapidly at times. He has an appointment to see an electrophysiologist tomorrow. Pray that they can figure out what is as far as that goes.
During my time in Charleston I picked up John Piper's book Desiring God. Although I'm only a couple of chapters into it, I've really enjoyed it thus far. It's been a while since I've read a deep book on theology. The premise of the book is that "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him." Think about that for a moment. We were created to bring God glory and we bring Him the most glory when we learn to enjoy Him for who He is. This enjoyment will naturally overflow into praise. I know that I don't desire God nearly enough. I allow the distractions of this world to get ahold of me when I should keep my focus on Him. He is the source of all joy. The world may offer temporary happiness, but in light of eternity it is futile. God created us to have a relationship with Him. Without this relationship it is impossible to experience true joy in our life.
Man, what a fall we are having in WV! Amen? I hope it stays as beautiful as it has. Thanks again for all the prayer. I can't thank you enough.
