True faith is putting FULL FAITH in God.
[Mat 19:25-26 RSV]
When the disciples heard this they were greatly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?" But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
This post will be about my latest experience of a hospital visit to the ER on 10/22/23 and will be directed at my family, loved ones and the many who claim to believe in the salvation in Christ.
- [2Ti 3:14-15 RSV] But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the 👉sacred writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
First, I will share an excerpt from a previous blog post in March 2023.
"As of January, I learned that I had a silent stroke. The timing of when it happened is unknown, but they don't believe it was on the day I was sent to the hospital from the doctor's office on January 3, but it's believed to be recent. That day the hospital didn't bother doing the proper testing, and I was sent home.
My personal doctor had ordered some tests to be done on the 16th; MRI and MRA, it revealed that I have cerebral small vessel disease. I had a silent stroke, along with TIA: Transient Ischemic Attack, mini strokes that I continue to experience until this very day. Mini strokes typically lead to, and are precursors, to a massive stroke. I'm told these are brought on from my migraines. I had known about the Chiari 1 (herniation) in the brain since 2004, it's unfortunate but doctors are now learning they don't fully comprehend how each individual is affected by it, many avoid operating on it regardless of the symptoms because of the complications it can cause."
End excerpt.
As mentioned in the previous blog post above I've been dealing with mini strokes. I recently had another one during a women's retreat. It began on a Friday, and I had left unable to finish the retreat. On Saturday it was bed rest for me, as it does take time before I'm on my feet again.
Sunday morning, I felt great. Started cleaning up a little, sweeping the floor and suddenly I felt winded again. I didn't have a mini stroke, but I could feel the pressure in my chest and brain, no headache though. Realizing I'm not out of the woods yet, I go back to bed rest. By nightfall my blood pressure went dangerously high again. My family and some close friends were insistent that I go to the ER. I explained how they won't do anything unless I'm in a full-blown stroke, learned this from previous visits. They insisted anyway. As expected, the ER could only mask the problem with blood pressure meds, refuse to do MRI/MRA for insurance reasons and was told I needed to see private physician for further testing.
As usual, I left the hospital not resolving anything. They asked me to take blood pressure medicine. I don't typically have high blood pressure, so the medication (1/2 of the lowest dose) brought my pressure down to dangerous low numbers.

- In Genisis...we are trying to acquire this divine ability to ourselves.
- Reaching beyond the gods.
- Gods like Jehovah can create only organic things.
- Humans are trying to do better than that.
Well, what he forgot to mention is that without God, he wouldn't exist to come up with the abomination that they have conjured up. This is what he says the plan is, I know for fact it's already put into action. With all that's in front of you, there will be those who believe and sadly, those who don't."
