December 15, 2009 (5:06am)

Nourishment. I never wanted water more. After surgery I woke up with a jolt staring up at the faces of my surgical team yelling, "Tim! Tim!".

I was disoriented for moments coughing, struggling for breath after having been paralyzed, anesthetized and having my brain traumatized by the surgeon's necessary knife. Struggling to communicate with Janice and Amy, I just wanted them to talk and me listen, just listen.

Nourishment. Sweet joy!

Heaven breaking out all over! God being praised! Never before have I seen anything like it. The nourishment of heaven's food and water being poured out on many! As blueberry yogurt was being hastily and hungrily consumed never tasting better, nothing tasted like it ever before!

People praying in the chapel downstairs, a picture of the church in action. Prayer, surgery, new beginnings, hunger satisfied, nourishment and healed.

I must rest now.

Your friend and brother,
Tim
