It's been a wee bit humbling to be a one-armed man. There's not a lot that I can do, so it's a challenge to try and find tasks that I can accomplish while being more of a help than a hindrance. Everyone has been real helpful and supportive, but even so, I'd rather be moving heavy equipment or setting up tables instead of mixing up some broccoli salad or cleaning candle holders. Maybe this is a means of God impressing on me the need to serve in any capacity I can, and to be willing to sacrifice all for the Kingdom. I'm realizing that if I were to honestly answer that question - "what wouldn't you give up for the sake of the kingdom?" - that I mentioned a couple of days ago, I would probably have to say my health. It's really hard for me to be anything less than 100% healthy. Can God still use me in spite of (or because of) my injury? Probably... maybe He already is. Time will tell.
