If it appears that things have been quiet around here at the 'Fly lately, there is good reason. Work!
I work on a contract basis giving care to an elderly (95 year old) lady here in town and this past week we've been trying to get her to drink more fluids. She's been borderline dehydrated for some time. Not any more! Her fluid intake is greatly improved. However, what goes in must eventually, well, come out, so that means more trips to her home to help her out.
I love my job. It is such a blessing to me. She says that even though it is hard to drink so much, it is helping her feel much better. She's losing some weight and that helps too.
So, lift up "granny" and me as I continue to work to help her health improve.
I will be posting an article here in a day or two regarding Islam. I've been getting "convert while you have time" comments from Islamic readers here. I feel a good post on the error of Islam coming on.
I'd appreciate your prayers.
Tim

Rules to Keep in Mind Here at the Fly
Everyone is welcome here. However, when you post a comment please remember some simple rules.
1. No one has an inalienable right to have their comments posted.
2. Please keep on-topic, otherwise it may not be posted at all.
3. Starting out with a sarcastic comment is a pretty good way to show me your intentions are not, well, honorable and will tend to wake up the cynic in me thus triggering the "delete" function.
4. Whining about how your comment wasn't posted is a sure way to prove to me that my cynicism (see point 3) was justly roused.
5. Comments that make personal assaults at others who post comments will not be published.
6. In light of rule 5, my posting an article that says something like "So and So teaches thus and so and here is the evidence" does not constitute a personal assault on my part, no matter how you may dislike what I had to say.
7. My time is worth more than wasting it on mud-wrestling on my own blog. If I see that you're here basically saying "Change my opinion against my will", don't be surprised if I don't humor you.
8. I reserve the right to create a post based on a submitted comment. It may be because of some positive comment that I'd like to expand on. It may also be that I'll take a troll-type comment and use it for another post of "Trolls Say The Darndest Things". In the former case, I will give credit to the commenter. In the latter case, I'll leave names out of the immediate post. If someone finds the original post however. . ..

About Me
- Tim Brown
- United States
- I met the Lord Jesus Christ in 1998. Before then, I had made a profession of faith but now know there was no reality to it. I had no sense of personal sin and a need for a savior. I had "prayed the prayer" but there was no transformation. It was only after the Lord let me bottom out and see myself as a sinner ripe for judgement that I realized that I needed a savior. There was simply no other remedy. Paul told the Corinthians "Examine yourselves to see if you are in the faith." If you profess to know the Lord, that is the best advice I can give you.

You have my prayers, for the woman in your care and for the Islamic readers. But you should agree with them, they must convert while there is time!
Great to see you here!
Either I'm mistaken or you didn't understand what they said. . .
"convert [to Islam] while there is still time". Not sure precisely of the meaning behind that. . ..
Oh well. We pray for them.
Thanks for your prayers.
I'd add that granny is doing ok, based on her body weight she should be taking in 75 ounces of water per day for normal rehydration.
Got her up to that today. Been modifying her diet for more fruits and veggies with high water content and of course glasses of water.
She says she feels lots better, some reasons I won't go into but it has to do with better fiber intake. And she's losing a bit of weight. That's good because a stroke she had some time back (along with arthritis) left her right leg less useful than it should be.
As I said, it's a great job. My degree is in Computer Science but this kind of work is a whole lot more gratifying. You're actually helping someone!
