If you are an addicted blogger, you may have a hard time understanding how some of us get weary of the constant borage of instant information.
However, this week I have been very grateful for the constant updates that have come via Stephen Bell’s blog and Wendell Bailey’s emails regarding Stephen’s dad, Stan, who is in the Regina hospital battling “flesh-eating disease.” www.healthatoz.com describes the seriousness of the situation:
Flesh-eating disease is more properly called necrotizing fasciitis, a rare condition in which bacteria destroy tissues underlying the skin. This tissue death, called necrosis or gangrene, spreads rapidly. This disease can be fatal in as little as 12 to 24 hours.
I, among thousands, have been in prayer for Stan (and Maxine and family) and pondering anew the value of friends such as Stan Bell and families such as the Bells.
The journey of life is often rough, but those friends and families make the journey not only doable but also often very delightful.
