Today I am not reclining at work...ha ha ha.I'm here at home recuperating from an ordeal at work yesterday, I was cutting on a saw when some sawdust got caught in my left eye. After washing it out several times I thought it would eventually get better.I was wrong. The eye remained swollen and still throbbed.It felt as if there was still something in my eye besides my eyeball.So I called my workplace and informed them that I wasn't going to be there because of the situation. we all finally found a eye doctor to see-guess Thursday is a bad day ,Iwent.It turned out that I did in fact scratch my eye-heck he even found a speck underneath the scratch!He then (the eye doctor) told me that I may have also triggered a reaction to the saline I used to wash my eye out with that caused alot of my discomfort as well.With some medicated eyedrops,I finally made it home.Took a nice long nap.and I already feel much better.
This reminds me of a parable Jesus used to describe hypocrisy.The one about taking the log out of ones eye while having a speck in your own.But i told Leah how amazing it was that a few specks of sawdust could create such angush and pain.Not only that but the material I used to wash out the specks caused a reaction-sometimes the way we deal with removing sin in our lives don't work and we become more miserable than when we got dust in our eyes.Something to think about.Thank God I feel better.Keller told me he prayed for me-five times in the course of this trial-thanks Keller! Your prayers are finally answered!
