Thought

Yesterday was like most Tuesdays during the warmth of summer in Ohio, I spent it with a old friend, not that I have known him a long time, but that he is old, at least older by 18 years then myself. We spent this day together at Locust Hills Golf club enjoying the wonderful game of golf. Each Tuesday this summer has been changing as my old friend was told he has the beginning stages of Alzheimer's disease. forgetting how many times he has hit the ball is not a problem, but watching him slowly change hurts a bit. He has admitted he is scared of what is coming. I can only imagine what he is going thru, and yet it still makes me think of how life has it's way. There are things we have no control over and we just have to deal with it or resign ourselves to it. Some things, true enough, can be cured by modern science, some things cannot, this is one of them. Our Lord has intervened from time to time, a divine healing, a miracle, if you will. I know this on a personal basis, I pray this for my old friend, he knows God can do that, he prays to the same end. I think also, am I wrong to be thankful, it is not me. Tuesdays will forever be changing, we agree, if he will remember, we will spend Tuesday together for as long as he can.
