My back pain is, maybe, 80%? gone. The 20% that remains is more than enough. I may never entirely recover this time.
I think I noted, in the last post, that my doctor gave me refills on my cyclobenzaprine prescription. He did. And, it helps.
But, the side effect of drowsiness dulls my brain waaay too much.
There's lots going on these days that I feel prophety about but I'm just not able to connect to the words to express it.
The best I can do right now, as followers of Jesus encounter the unique challenges of our time, is to say that we have an opportunity to repent of, and turn from, the fallen ways that are driving our spiritual decay and numerical decline.
Behave as if the Middle Ages never happened. Think in terms of the New Testament plan.
Be extreme in embracing the Word as your only rule of faith and practice. We have not done that since our Church of God days.
Be courageous and brutal in turning from institutional traditions. If you do that, shepherd sensitivities will be assaulted and there will be many crushed hearts.
So, above all, practice the New Command of Jesus: "Love one another as I have loved you."

Now, I'm going to proof read this three times. Hopefully, it will be sensical.
