As I have been walking through the last 3 months of weird health issues, my neurologist suggested that I go see a physical therapist that could "work me over" and hopefully find a trigger point... a source of the issues as nothing else had come to light with any prior tests or exams. We chose a physical therapist based on a suggestion of another family member and I have now been to see her about 4 times.  Since these visits, I have begun to see some improvements in my symptoms which is great! I'm not out of the woods yet, but at least making progress. These therapy visits have provoked a thought that I wanted to share...

Christmas is one of the most important days among Christians. This day commemorates and celebrates the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christmas is more than just a day of gifts and gathering. It is the remembrance of the fact that God so loved the world that He have His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus' birthday - Christmas - is about God's love. It is about God's love for you and me. It is God expressing His great love for mankind, through the giving of the greatest gift, the Lord Jesus Christ. He loves us unconditionally and He knows we can become, if we'll allow Him to get involved in our lives.

It's important that we pay close attention to the timing of events that occur in our lives. We shouldn't allow time to float by or to let things just happen. For those with a destination in mind, you have to understand the value of providential moments. We serve a God with a purpose. He uses providential moments to effect and or change our current paths permanently if we are obedient. As we get closer to the end of this year of trying times, economic challenges and multiple job losses, it's imperative that we draw even closer to God.

Scratch one thing off my list of things I need to do before I die. This past Saturday, I got to go to a Notre Dame Football game in South Bend. Our tickets were right on the field in the end zone and it was amazing! I was given the tickets and told that I needed to get the "full experience" if I was a true fan. I was given a detailed map and had all the times filled in on where to be before the game.
