Hang in there.

Hang in there.

(Picture in this post not me but a guy about my age I think.)
I have been gone for a while. Hospitalization for heart problems and quarantine for Covid virus. I am definitely in high risk group. 86 years old with underlying health problems, but no Covid virus to date. Don't expect to get the virus.

My system will kill any virus trying to get in. Too old and lots of immunity built up over the years from living in Africa and flying mission airplanes in the bush. Had Malaria 10 times and ate bottles of Chloraquine. Had amoebic dysentery so bad I was afraid I was going to die but then afraid I wouldn't.

I am really in excellent health and have good energy having weathered two heart attacks, two strokes and two cancers. 99% is in the mind and telling myself positive healthful thoughts accompanied by healthful actions but I still eat the wrong foods, Dr. Pepper and Burger King Whoppers and fries.
Going in Monday for defibrillator installation. Don't think I need it but doctor needs to practice and the money and Donna says I need it.

Bouncing back here again. Have some great plans for the future. Preaching, teaching and flying. Don't expect to die any time soon. I figure I have at least another 14 to 20 years. My mom died at age 99. Pretty sure I will do at least one year better. I am a bit like the Energizer Bunny. Still ticking, beating my drum and still going, hopefully in the right direction.

Might still be here when Jesus comes back for me and all my brothers and sisters in Christ.

Looking forward to a new body.
