Day 13 in a series: “THE TRACHEA COMES OUT”


HEARTLAND


After about a month at Virginia Baptist, I was transferred to Heartland, a senior citizens rehab facility. Lindsay and Evelyn, my physical and occupational therapists at Heartland were instrumental in continuing my progress.


THE TRACHEA COMES OUT


The night that I got to Heartland was when the trachea came out. They took it to out to clean it - no more than 5 minutes tops, and the small hole in my neck started to close a lot faster than usual. They couldn’t re-insert it. I was thrilled. They had me to go to the emergency room so they could check me out. They brought me into bay #2 and it just so happened that a respiratory tech happened to be there. I told him what had transpired. He examined me and told me that I didn’t need a trachea. “What do you need a trachea for?” he exclaimed. I responded “that’s what I’ve been saying for weeks!” He said “I can’t make that call - the doctor must make that call”. An hour later a doctor appeared. She examined me and told me that she and the other doctors would decide if it needed to be re-inserted. When I informed her that I would not consent to having it re-inserted, the blood drained from her face. She just couldn’t believe it.


Later, a Physicians Assistant entered the room and another round of “attempted persuasion” took place. I repeated my objection in that she could “talk to that wall” all night long. The trachea was finally out for good.

WALK APPLIED COVER.JPG

The time for a truly unique and different rock solid biblical approach is certainly here. The new and exciting approach of “The Walk Applied” brings to the Christian mileau a perspective that is rarely addressed: What does it mean to be a “Spiritual Being” operating in the Natural? What does it mean for me to be a “new creation in Christ”? What’s my real identity as a Christian? How does this “Jesus thing” operate from the “top down.” What’s this “sonship” thing all about? What does it mean to be adopted? What does it mean to be a citizen of the Kingdom? Without a solid understanding of how the Kingdom WORKS, how can we ever truly understand how to approach Jesus in the way that the Father intended? Christians are tired of “Church as usual”! Indeed, there is a growing chorus of voices (especially among the young) “there’s gotta to be a better way!” The sensible and different voice of “the Walk Applied” has been written to describe that better way. An excellent choice for Group Study or Sunday School
