However, when confronted with rashes, I always start simple and then move out. Have you changed anything that comes in contact that part of your body. The soap that you wash with, gloves, etc. If you have changed something, go back to what you were using before the change and see what happens. <BR/><BR/>You have been through a life changing experience with your cancer diagnosis. From your blogs it seems that you have done amazingly well and had such a supportive network. You have been where few people your age go and you are forever changed. The change you have made is positive and allows you to understand individuals going through a difficult time/situation in ways that other seminarians will not be able to understand.<BR/><BR/>This experience has given you a special knowledge. It is a part of who you are........part of your uniqueness and will be a blessing to many.<BR/><BR/>Prayers still continue for you.Kay & Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244257765709660605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14755785.post-83570186309390769072008-11-25T07:06:00.000-08:002008-11-25T07:06:00.000-08:00P.S.

You just di......and guess what...you are doing it. You just did it with your post, and you will continue to do it.<BR/><BR/>In my daily journey through the psalms (a task I started this summer,) I glommed onto v.2 in Psalm 53 today...“God looks down from heaven upon us all; to see if there is any one who is wise, if there is any one who seeks after God.”<BR/><BR/>Now there’s a notion. God is always on the lookout for us. But I don’t see it quite like “God as cosmic lifeguard.” I can’t get into a notion of all us swimming around minding our own business until we get into an undertow, and hollering “help” and God perpetually bailing us out. Blech. That is so dysfunctionally dependent.<BR/><BR/>Ok, so let’s move to the phrase before it....”to see if there is anyone who is WISE.”<BR/><BR/>I went over to the Tanakh translation in my Jewish study Bible and it translates out as “God looks down from heaven on mankind to find a man of understanding, a man mindful of God.” (Ok, it’s orthodox Jewish, it’s male male male; I will ignore the gender part here.)<BR/><BR/>So I don’t think this passage is painting God as some big cosmic lifeguard, we are talking about seeking a dialogue here, a traveling companion for the road trip. I think God prefers interactive over RE-active. <BR/><BR/>Interesting non-coincidence for us again today, my friend.<BR/><BR/>You are doing these things. It doesn't get any better than that. Something of use will be revealed for you on this segment of your road trip. The hard part is just sticking with the trip!
