I need prayers!

Folks,


I've been discharged from the hospital after a sudden illness that befell me on Sunday evening. I feel like death warmed over and have been ordered to keep myself isolated for the next 7-10 days (with 4 X daily trips back to the hospital for Ventolin treatments). 


PLEASE remember me in your prayers as I struggle to get back on my feet.


Thank you.


Fr. Tim

  1. Out-patient Ventolin four times a day? I don't like the sound of that, Tim. Please tell us it's not COPD!

    And you have my version of prayer, as always, with an extra boost.

  3. Actually, the doctors were surprised that it was not COPD as I am a smoker. It's a return of something that afflicted me as a child: an inability of my immune system to respond to infections. Last year I was put into isolation at the hospital when I was diagnosed with H1N1 - only to surprise them then when the virus was later diagnosed as the plain old run of the mill seasonal flu which my body didn't fight against.

    Back then, my mother (an RN) used to describe it as my lacking the cancer gene - that trigger of an out of portion response that grew into a malignancy.

    It hasn't been an issue for me since I hit adolescence, but prior to that I used to receive a penicillin shot three times a week as a prophylactic - until that is I went into an full out allergic reaction - because even the slightest cut would inevitably become infected and the simplest cold was a major health event. I very much hope that I am not revisiting those days. They are NOT remembered fondly.

    As a friend of mine would say.... 'jeesh!'

  5. Tim,

    I will pray for you also. Those kinds of things are no fun. I thought you had been kind of quiet on here lately and was beginning to wonder what was going on.

Good will to all men? Not from the grumpy atheists! (Thank God not all atheists are grumpy but there sure seems to be a lot of them)

Why is it that so many in the atheist community cannot bring  themselves to get past their anger whenever they engage in discussions? The language of many of their contributions in public debate is laced with invective and dripping with sarcasm and bile. There are exceptions of course, but they tend to fall more into the category of being the 'exception that proves the rule' when compared to the hostility of many of today's atheist posters. Comment offered by the theists in the public square is often depicted as being 'malicious' or 'venomous' and intended to enslave the 'feeble minded and weak' by those who post. Nothing could be further from the truth. Venom is something that is oriented to death. Christians are oriented in a 180 degree different direction. We speak not to the culture of death  that grips our world but rather for the culture of life and light which ends with the gift of eternal life. For example, the Catholic Church in its hum...
