Jul 19th
You definitely don?t want to do what I did.
I thought I was fully prepared for our family devotional night: Bible and lesson plan?check; television off?check; kids?check. However, in hind sight, I can see now the whole thing was doomed.
Rookie Mistake #1: I put all three children, ages eleven, nine, and six, in the same room. But, wait, isn?t that the family part of family devotional night? I thought so too, but I quickly learned my error.

?You?ll feel a little stick,? the surgeon lied as he inserted an electrified needle into my spine. It wasn?t a little stick; it felt like a blazing blow torch burning a hole in my back.
That hot needle was not my friend. A cold sweat dripped off my forehead while my body trembled uncontrollably.
?Be still, so I get it in the right place,? he admonished me. I couldn?t help it though. My body was riddled with a disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis, which was why I needed the rhizotomy in the first place.
I whispered a prayer, ?Lord, this is More >
