Not too devastated

Today I went back to the doctor for what was supposed to be the final scans etc to end this saga. After sitting around half the day waiting to do the two MRI's and then waiting 2 hours as the doctor was behind schedule it was finally my turn. Already an exhausting day!

But then, more drama: The Doc spotted a blot about one third of the original one. He didn't see the scans before, so stood staring at them for 10 minutes, mumbling terms and words that I have never heard before. And yes, I got worried!

The original blot. The dark spot is the cyst that had to be removed

 
Its one of two scenarios:
1 - Part of the cyst remained behind and has to be cleared later
2 - There is a gap left open from removing the cyst

I choose to believe that it is the second instance, as that would not require another op. Also, I have decided to build my house on the Rock, as per Matthew 7:24.

This half-storm will not fluster me, at most there might be a lesson to learn. There always is... Other than that I only have a thankful heart

Do not be an idiot

We are living in a rebel state Not since the transition from the apartheid government to the ANC governed democratic dispensation have we seen such a state of fear. The majority of residents understand that this would alter the course of the world significantly, while it seems other regard this situation as a holiday. See some videos below: I am not a person who lives in fear. I am not a person who easily critises either. I would love to think that I keep a clear perspective in most situations and that I am able to discern with great caution what causes human behavior. I love to think about what motivates others. In the our locked down state, who have a number of extremes: The ones who fear. People who panic shopped and intend staying not even in their year only, but ONLY inside their homes. Fortunate, some say, as they can afford to do so, negative, others say, as they see dooms day already. For most, quite a bit selfish. The middle man. People who obey the rules an

WOW Tonight my wife and I went to their schools musical. It's an annual affair and improves yearly. My wife has nothing to do with it, but loves to go and as a consequence I go with. Every year I walk out of there blessed by the pure talent at hand.   It is quite obvious that the kids, as well as the teachers involved dedicate a major amount of time to the musical. To sing probably comes naturally to most of them, but to do it to perfection requires sheer determination. And then comes the dancing... It isn't just a sing-song, the kids have to dance and perform while singing. this has to be practised over and over to perfect. For them the end result comes at a cost. Nothing in life that is worth something comes easily, it comes at a cost. Passion, dedication, time and effort. Without putting your mind and body into it it won't happen. Dedicate your time to your passion, let your passion be the Lord.

Sitting in my coffeeshop

Often we go to a coffee shop to have a piece of cake, as well as some traditional coffee. I don't have a favourite shop, but try out as many different as possible. Friends tell us about a new shop they have discovered and then we also visit those. When we go there one of our favourite things to do is to pretend to figure out what other people are discussing. It usually turns out more or less like a soap opera, overelaborate and dramatic. We say the first thing that comes to mind. We do roleplay where my wife has a part I have a part. Normally very funny! The last time we did this I sat there thinking: What if another couple did the same with us? What would they be saying? How much drama would they build into their act, seeing as I am a little bit expressive?! The fact of the matter is that how you see other people is in all likelihood how they will see you. The perception you form about them will be reflected back to you. They will treat me as I treat them. I don't
