I'm Back! - less one infected Gallbladder and a few pounds
Hi everyone! Here I am about 6 weeks later now and finally back at all things normal. about 6 weeks ago I had an really bad experience with a very badly infected Gallbladder. It kept me hospitalized for just over 2 weeks then several weeks recovery at home... My thanks to everyone who prayed, and supported me and my family during this time.
This experience has certainly put a bit of a speed bump in my path to this 325K walk, I haven't been back to the gym yet, but hope to soon as my strength is slowly coming back. And while I may have experienced a bit of a set back, I'm no less determined!
Some other things you need to know.
-while I was off, I got my first ever Passport, on December 1st I go to Guatemala for a week to see the Guatemala city area that the community and education center will be established and to participate in a camp that will be held that week. Please pray for a truly eye opening journey for all of us on this trip.
- Website: There is a Dave's District Dash site getting up and running, check out the Christian Horizons website for a link- info and opportunity to contribute are on the site
- I don't have a lot of details about this yet, but I hear that the East District of Christian Horizons is organizing construction for the education center in Guatemala. Amazing!
So, I'm sorry for the blogging absence, but come back soon as I will now be a little more regular in keeping you up to date on this journey.
Life Lesson: Among many things that I learn during my surgery and recovery, one is " Keep Going ". Hurdles, Life, Stuff, temptation and distractions will always get in the way of goals we are aiming for (like this Gallbladder did for me). But the truth that I encountered in the past month and a half is: God is in it All and will work out His purpose if we let Him: God gives the strength and provision to meet the need at His time in His way: When we don't have anything left in us we are still rich and blessed in His Love.

Hi Dave
We just found your blog.
Glad you are feeling better.
Your dash seems like an excellent project.
How can a pledge be made? I didn't see that info. on the blog.
BTW that's a great picture on the header. You look like another Crocodile Hunter in training.
Just be extra careful around stingrays and pork chops you should be fine.
All the best.
Len and Cathy
