Whew! that was close

Well today has been an interesting day...or I should say yesterday (it's seemed like one long 24 hours!) Darren called me from a worksite. No big suprise...he does that a lot, but this time I could hear something in his voice...he was almost trembling.

He told me not to worry but he was experiencing a tightness in his chest. In a moment I paniced.
On the not more than 10 minute drive there (probably a little less since I know I was speeding), I thought of a million horrible things. Darren call's it 'what-if'ing'. What if this...what if that. When I got there we had to decide if he was going to go to the doctor or straight to the emergency room. Since his doctor was on the way (and much closer), we ran there. They made room for him and hooked him up for an EKG.

All is well. The EKG was normal and other test revealed high cholesterol, but that was about it.
He will have to learn to slow down and manage his stress better since it appears that it was emotional stress that caused the pains.

Whew...that was close...a little too close

My prayer: God, Darren means so much to me. In that moment, I thought I might be losing him. Today, the same as every other day for the last five or six years, I pray for his body. I pray for his lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, and brain. Lord, if there is anything not functioning the way that you designed it in your great wisdom, I pray you would restore it to perfect working order. Lord, protect his emotions and his thoughts. Let him never have problems focusing on the things that you call 'blessed'. Lord, You promised long life for those that honored their parents and I speak as a witness that he has done so. Please give him thousands upon thousands of more days on planet earth. ~Amen
