Sick as a dog - Part II - April 20, 2007

I don’t think that I have ever been sick so long in all my life.  Last week, if you read the first part of Sick as a dog I mentioned that I was sick and that is why I hadn’t updated my blog in the previous week or so.  On Monday I woke up feeling OK… a bit of a sore throat, but all in all I was feeling alright.  But by noon, my throat was sore and my body was starting to ache all over.  Luckily that morning I had submitted three blog entry’s for the following three days. 

While being sick, sometimes I question God.  I mean, why would He allow me to be so sick?  Maybe the Bible talks about people getting sick, but I don’t recall it mentioning the flu.  I recall that when Jesus was asked why a certain person had an ailment, his response was often, “So that my Father in heaven may be glorified.”

Last week, knowing that I was scheduled to preach on Sabbath, I started to wonder if I would need to call Pastor Steve to cover for me.  But then I started feeling fine on Thursday and 100% on Friday, so I preached my heart out on Saturday.  Unfortunately the flu hit me full-force on Monday again!  Never in my life has this happened.  Pastor Steve mentioned to me that it could be that God healed me for the weekend so that I could preach.  If only I was preaching this weekend!  Maybe because I’m not, I am still sick!
