Kerry this was a go'er in our church in Edmonton on a Friday
nite service after a busy work week!!!!
There was a book years ago titled 'The purpose driven life" and
I critiqued for a sister in the church, my conclusion was' my
purpose was not driven.'
Which raises a question as to 'what is my purpose' I ask?
At the beginning of my journey it was never that I had to read a
book to know, I wonder how Moses felt when he handed his
'purpose' over to Joshua. Maybe we all face a time of the 'Mene
Mene Tekal' bit and the handwriting.
Someone wrote, concerning what is my purpose.
That the problem is we equate our purpose with a goal based
achievement, and who is really interested in achievements, the
Lord only looks on the heart.
When we choose to act out of kindness, compassion and love, you
are totally aligned with your purpose, there is no need to look
any further.
As Moses enjoyed the view from the mountain top I wonder if he
had thought about his alignment with his purpose. Just a trough
of more of Dave's drivel as Mike would say ;) ;) ;)
Not sure how the song will come out, no deleting to the @ on
this one on my computer. :o ??? :o

Look at how important women were in the life of Moses. His
mother hid him, his sister helped by talking to Pharoah's
daughter who helped too. Some Jews think so highly of Pharoah's
daughter, they believe she was taken into Heaven without dying.
They say she married Caleb and left Egypt with Israel. We may
look at Moses and not see how others also had their roles.
I think Moses was happy to turn things over to Joshua. He could
rest from his labors. It took a long time, but he and Elijah
rejoiced when Jesus was transfigured. I think they were needed
too to prepare the world for Jesus to come.
So some people lead quiet lives; but perhaps they're doing
things that are necessary in God's plan which is still
unfolding.

Last Sunday I developed the worst pain in my knee that I've ever
experienced.
Four times medics prescribed increasing strengths of pain
killers until, in desperation, I resorted to overdosing and had
to call in the hospital. Eventually I was take off pain killers
and put onto steroids and had my first night's sleep for four
nights. But 'crongers fist' they will diagnose the cause so I
don't get a repeat.

It has worried me all along that no hospital receptionist has
shown any interest in a category diagnosis once they they find
that their long string of questions, and my answers, fail to
point to a descriptive cause once they are fed into their
software prepared diagnosis programs.
Several times I have phoned the hospital only to be confronted
by the same order of prepared questions like "where abouts is
the pain?" (to which I explain that it in knee) only to be asked
in a subsequent question "Is your pain in the upper or in the
lower part of your body?"
My reply that it depends on whether I'm standing on my head or
on my feet being met with scant appreciation.
Thankfully your much appreciated prayers are not restricted by
preformulated software analysis.

Do you have a GP (general practitioner) you could contact? I'm
also wondering if a knee brace would help? I'm not a
physician, but I know they can help in some cases.

Our GP's appointments often get delegated to lower grade nursing
assistants. Genuine GP appointments are limited to 5 minute
duration. They don't seem to be prepared to commit to long term
diagnosis, and refer such patient needs to specialist
practitioners. The GP sausage machine's regular maintenance is
paramount.
Long gone are the days when one's local doctor was not merely a
part of a large practice.
Went I was young my mother would phone (answered by the doctor
himself, who opened his 'surgery' for early appointments, before
beginning his 'daily rounds' of patients who needed personal
visits.)
I realise there has since been a significant population increase
but I would wager that the Doctor to patient ratio is now
significantly less due to the complexity of maintaining
procedural records.
Here endeth the 'rant'.
