Four Eyes Forever

I was evaluated for LASIK surgery last night and honestly I was pretty cut by the results. I guess the thought of not being visually handicapped at times (I have to feel for my glasses in the morning) gave me a little warm and fuzzy hope. Although, knowing this is considered cosmetic and very expensive, well I was praying to do the right thing.

They told me because I had thin corneas and a very high prescription I wasn't really a good candidate (borderline). They could however do lense implantation for only $2000 more than the LASIK ($6000). Visian (lense implantation) hasn't been around as long and is a little more invasive. Plus, if my eyes change anymore, and they have just in the last few years, I'm hosed!

So I got a pretty good gut feeling that this wasn't for me and I went ahead and ordered new glasses. I am thankful though that I have sight at all and the resources to see well. One thing to look forward to though, in heaven I will have perfect vision :-)

Muppets "The Cat Came Back"

My Dad used to sing this song when we were little. Extreme animal lovers beware, they try to get rid of the cat :-) However, check the cat out laughing at them the last couple times, he is a crack-up. Also note poor Benny at the end. Funny stuff.

Good verse for the new year

Isaiah 43:18-19 (New International Version)

¹⁸ "Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.

¹⁹ See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the desert
and streams in the wasteland.

Escape or Fulfillment

"If you are yielded to Christ, your life is not a series of accidents; it is a series of appointments.".....

"That God has a plan for you is vitally important. If God doesn't have a plan, then life has no meaning. Suffering is in vain; sacrifice is meaningless. If there is no design for our lives, then there is nothing to fulfill and the logical thing to do is escape. But there is a heavenly design. The will of God for you is the expression of His love for you. This explains that wonderful promise, Romans 8:28: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
