Wisdom and Teeth

My 16 year old son just went through one of those “rites of passages” that most would dread – having his wisdom teeth out. Several people had told Steven that he would be “out of it” when he recovered. This made him bound and determine to be “aware” when he woke up from the surgery.

When the nurse escorted us back to where Steven was when he woke up, he was almost agitated. The nurse said that he had done quite well and in her words, was somewhat lively. With gauze sticking out of his mouth and a numb face, he pumped his fists into the air and mumbled, “Yea, Dr. Nissen said I did well. I’m ready for my baseball game today.” It was all we could do to calm him down and to try to get him to stop talking.

On the way home in our car, he told us that he was going to feel better tomorrow. In fact, he said, “I want to go to the Spiritual Growth (taking place in Orlando this weekend) Workshop. I love the Lord.” Even though he was in an anesthesia induced state it still warmed our hearts and made us giggle, to hear our son use that phrase.

I just hope that I’m bold enough in my walk with Jesus to tell people in my waking state that I too love the Lord. Keep Steven in your prayers as he recovers. At this point it’s been 3 hours since the surgery and he has had a milk shake, pudding, and some yogurt.

Can't be too bad if the cure is a shake.

BTW - Anybody know why when I did a "copy paste" from Word to Blogger I got the red underline font or better yet, how do you get rid of it?

I think the red underline must be one of those things like the bleeding statues of Jesus or the appearances of Mary - a divine sign.
My prayers with Stephen for a quick recovery.

Ha! Yeah, the red underlining is back! Whitney just went through it so we know what you're going through. However, she had seven wisdom teeth and no she's not smarter because of it.

We are missing you at SGW. Saw most of the rest of your crew here.

Give the casual spelling man a "cheering up" for me. Now that he is "lighter" he should be able to speed around those bases faster.

In Word select all your text and make sure underlining is not on.

Peace.

I am so ashamed. The only thing I could think of earlier this year when I had a filling put in was...


DRUGS!!

What is this world coming too? Steve's rocks and now wisdom teeth. Any one notice the common denominator? Oral liquids solves the problems . . .

Shalom,
