Back to the hospital

Back to the hospital
Wednesday, September 25, 2019 by Charlotte Snead

Joe was back in the hospital again, admitted for recurring diverticulitis, but he was discovered to have a bad gall bladder. The surgeon told me it took him about a half an hour to do gall bladder surgery; he does 140 a year, all out-patient. But Joe does things in a big way. The walls of the gallbladder were thick and it was terribly swollen. I waited for an hour and a half. One stone was headed out of the bladder. We consider him quite fortunate. The final report indicated he had gangrene in his gall bladder. We are confident this has been his trouble for a while, but he is sill going to watch what he eats.

Joe is well loved by all the nurses and PAs, and he got the best of care. He told me they were all like family, and that’s why he doesn’t retire. It’s a good hospital, employing almost as many folks as the school system. He went back to work before he was released, so he had to go across the hall to get a release from another doctor in order to get paid!

He’s not only back to work at the hospital, he is now rebuildig our deck.

Jesus only rebuked his disciples for lack of faith—oh, and not allowing the children to come to Him—saving his rebukes for religious leaders who were hypocrites. After feeding five thousand and then four thousand, how could his disciples fret over no bread on their sail across the lake? The Master could feed thirteen men if he had fed thousands! Yet I faltered over less than that last week.

My blog masters called me last Monday, asking if I knew my website was down. No. We worked all morning to discover why, knocking on closed doors. Word Press had closed my site, handing it off to another company. Me of little faith wept. I am launching a new book. A Place to Live came out last month and I’m in the midst of marketing it. All my marketing has the old website name on it. Didn’t God know this?

Of course He did, and by the end of the day my wonderful blog masters at Celebrity Web Design had a new one set up, one that I own: charlottesnead.com

How cool is that? Just my name. I didn’t even know I could do that. God can do exceeding abundantly. So I downloaded all my subscribers and notified them of the name change. Since that time, I have doubled them! Thank you, God. Like the father I cry out: I believe, Lord, help Thou mine unbelief. Forgive me.
