As one of the ones who seems to require God's long reach, I do indeed take comfort from the fact that God loves us all and pursues us out of nothing but love.Bill Bynumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7086799115254785699.post-51934321698898559452012-12-11T13:05:28.548-05:002012-12-11T13:05:28.548-05:00Thanks, Penny, but surgery is a little way off yet...Thanks, Penny, but surgery is a little way off yet.

It's just what I needed to read after a day spent having my eyes tested and receiving confirmation that I will need cataract surgery and also my 3-yearly mammogram, always an anxious time with my history.
