My Primary Doctor's Exam of My Skin
Author: Hugh H. Morgan
What I thought was the Shingles was not that at all. My primary physician had me to come to her office to check it out. What looked like
the shingles to others who saw me, and what I thought was shingles turned out to be a rash caused from harsh soap and deodorant that I
had been using. She recommended Dove soap and deodorant. So, I had to make a change, and I did.
I still have some spots on my face and head. I hope they will soon go away.
Several people have written me to find out about my son, Greg.
I thought he was adjusting to the transitional home. However, that is not the case. Greg continues to stay in bed and not face reality.
The goal is for him to take responsibility for his choices and actions. He has fallen out of bed and injured his shoulder. The man who is
in charge of the home called an ambulance and got him to a hospital near the home. He was there for overnight. The x-rays did not reveal
any broken bones. He is required to wear a sling to protect the arm and shoulder.
As I sought God for Greg's well-being, healing, and health, I was led to turn him over to God. I will soon be 89 and I do not have the
wherewithal to provide for the care he needs. My doctor has advised me not to let him come home at this time. After a lot of thought, reading
the Bible daily, and praying I have let Greg know as well as his doctors and professional staff members that he cannot come home.
When you pray for Greg ask God to speak to his heart and mind. Pray that Greg will be able to discern it is God speaking to him. He needs
to read the Bible and get the Word of God in him. We know from Scripture that the Word of God is powerful and cuts right through to the bone
marrow. The Word of God tells us that He knows all about Greg, nothing is hid from His eyes, and he will give an accounting to God for his thoughts, actions,
and attitudes.
Some tell me I have exercised tough love. Whatever it may be called, I want to obey God and honor Him in my relationship with Greg.
There have been a few to ask me, "What would Melvine think and say about it?" My answer is Melvine has gone to heaven. I cannot talk with her. I know she loved Greg and would tend to protect him. It could be that I have protected and provided for Greg all of his life when I should have backed off. I cannot change the past. I want to live for God and His Kingdom and do His will. I desire that my mind will be illumined to the truth and obey God's Word to me in this matter as well as other concerns.
I still grieve or mourn over the death of Melvine although I know she is in heaven and is no longer suffering. She died in the faith, i. e., in Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and Lord of her life. She loved Jesus, loved to read and study the Bible, pray, and going to church. Before her illness she led the Tuesday morning Ladies Bible study and prayer group at our church in Athens. Prior to her death when she was not oriented to the day of the week or the time, she would ask repeatedly, "Is today, Sunday? I want to go to church." She desired to worship with others she knew and loved.
That is my report to you.
I need your continued prayers. Thank you for praying.
