"Recalculating"

We have a GPS in our car whose name is Rita.  Because her voice is rather sultry we named her after a rather sultry actress of the '40s, Rita Hayworth.  We depend on Rita to get us where we're going when entering unknown territory and she seldom fails us.
This morning Randy Kilgore chose this theme of recalculating, or "rerouting", as he calls it, for his short contribution to Our Daily Bread.
"The GPS not only recognizes when a driver is off course but immediately begins plotting a new path to get back on track."-Randy Kilgore (Our Daily Bread).
It's easy for me to get off track and to fall into the temptation of charting my own course, but my Bible, my trusty GPS, serves me well as it puts me back on track time after time.  And the course charted for me by The Word is always far more beautiful than any I could have chosen for myself.  I am so grateful that my trustworthy GPS will lovingly guide me through this chapter in my life.
"Trust in The Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own understanding.
Acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will make your paths straight."-Proverbs 3:5,6 (NET).

On the health front:
My abdominal area is becoming increasingly tender, my energy level remains low and I get a foul taste in my mouth which has been described, according to my Radiation Oncologist, as eating a cardboard pizza sprinkled with tin foil shavings.  I have nothing to complain about, however, when I compare my situation to others who sit with us in the waiting area as we submit ourselves to the miracles of modern medicine.  And most of us are smiling and friendly!
There are many things to like about this place.
