Team Inspire

I just wanted to let folks know about a great website that is a fantastic place for support and information for those of us who have gone through bypass surgery. It's called Team Inspire. Anything you can do to avoid going through this alone will help you and once you visit this site you will know you have a group of kindred spirits who have been there and are ready to listen and help any way they can.

Four Years and Feeling Great

If I live to Wednesday I will mark my four year anniversary. If someone would have told me four years ago that I would end up feeling this good I would have told them they were crazy. I can now look at every day as a blessing from God to be deep cherished. Yesterday I got to just stare at my beautiful three month old granddaughter. Last week I made my annual pilgrimage to Pepperdine University for their annual conference. That place has to be the most beautiful college campus in America. Life is good, and I am so glad I can say that, but today I visited a lady from my church who just found out that she will be having bypass surgery in the next day or so. Even though I have been through the surgery I still don't know how she feels, but I have a pretty good idea of what lies ahead. I hope I can be there for her and offer a bit of encouragement, and somehow communicate that things will be alright.
