Feeling Abandoned by God: A Temporary Setback As a Christian, there have been times when I've allowed circumstances to cloud my perspective, leading me to feel as though God had abandoned me. One such instance occurred after recovering from a debilitating bout of flu. Despite regaining my physical health, I found myself plagued by fatigue, lethargy, and a barrage of negative thoughts. In this weakened state, I started fixating on the perceived shortcomings in my life – the lack of energy, the absence of retirement savings, and the unfulfilled promises.

However, this flu brought along some additional illnesses that I've had to contend with as well. Fever-Induced Forgetfulness When you have a fever, you tend to do some silly things. For example, I've been writing down my medication times on a dry erase board on the fridge.

Blogging Through Sickness Despite feeling awful, I'm experiencing blogging withdrawal and feel compelled to share an update from this delirious dimension I've been inhabiting. Of course, being sick also has me pondering a few things: The Cost of Free Healthcare Part of me wishes healthcare was free for all. But that's a loaded issue – how can healthcare truly be free when someone has to pay for it?...
