Today I'm going to be operated on for bilateral inguinal hernias. And it's really not that big a deal, except that it's going to slow me down for a bit. I hate to slow down.
But I have some videos to watch and an awful lot of course work to do. And I can talk on the phone. So it might be for the best, because with the snow melting it's been hard for me to concentrate on things that don't involve vegetables.
Still, I'm sick at heart about not being able to hold Obadiah for a little while, and about being less of a help to Christine around the house. Please pray for her.
And since I have been dreading my convalescence I reread Genesis 34 to cheer me up. That's a much worse operation and the worst imaginable recovery. But the chapter raises a question, doesn't it? Does Jacob disapprove of what his sons do on a moral basis or just on a tactical/political basis?
And how should we, as New Testament believers, feel about it?
