I Dreamed a Dream

Hello, Ms.Blog, so nice to return. Life just got more serious. Reduced blood flow, a 'cold spot' on your heart, watch out for increased chest pain, call 911 immediately for a trip to the Emergency Room. Wow, is this a dream, or what? No, it's life happening at warp speed ... Beam me up, Kenny, maybe it's time to meet for the first time? I listen to 'I Dreamed a Dream' and think the lyrics of that song are so powerful, so real, so applicable in so many ways to me right now. Why does the Lord make you test yourself? Death, what is it, only the next great adventure. If it pleases you, just remember, we all don't make it out alive. The Lord has hit me up the side of my head with a 2X4. I am ready for my future. I will tackle it with Faith in my heart and maybe a stent or two there also. Coronary blockage requiring surgery, that's the new news for the week. The engine is missing a cylinder or two, it's struggling for full output. Time to rotorooter the pipes and be whole again. Please be with me Lord. I am scared, not for me, but for my kids and my friends. Jesus says I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. I know and I believe. Patrick, what a self-absorbed child. Yesterday, I almost exploded when he poured chicken fat down the sink but he will only learn the hard way on almost all things. Lauren, she is becoming more mature with each day, but she too is so self-absorbed. Neither child knows what it is to put themselves second to a greater cause. May they learn what Contentment truly is. It is not a state of accounts but a state of heart. Heart, there it is again. The word for the week. Heart, you gotta have heart .... so I'm fixin' mine real soon! Please be with me Lord.
Over, Ricky.
