I’m going to the doctor today. At 2 pm. For the insomnia and headaches.

So there, mommy. Now leave me alone! ha ha.

I hate going to the doctor. Which is odd because I have some great relationships with so many of them from Emporia AND Little Rock. Spending a few years discipling med students will do that. I remember one of my ministry peers asking me why I invested so much in med students.

I told him that doctors are not only some of the smartest people in the world but they meet people in the middle of crisis everyday. To be the hands and feet in the middle of that crisis is a high and noble calling and one that should never be taken lightly. My goal was to be a part of transforming them into Theological Healers.

So now I’m about to walk into a room with a doctor I don’t know and what interaction will take place there? Does he value and care for the soul like the body? It’s important to me - will he get that? We’ll see.

What I’d do for a Lofton, McClure, Tomlinson, Edwards, Dr. Laura, or Schellhause right now.

    I thought about including Sellers and Poon in that list. Sellers - well, he is an OB/GYN. I’m not sure how much help he brings to the table now other than comic relief and just being a great friend.

    Poon - Med/Peds. That COULD work, I guess. But he’s in Miami desperately trying to learn Spanish. :)

    Well, I am really only suppose to see patients throught the age of 21, but you could argue for physical vs. mental age. Ha Ha! I hope that your doctor was able to help and saw you as more than a set of symptoms. I miss you guys!
