Right after Winter Camp it started with the scratchy feeling in the back of my throat.  I fought it for a few days.  Telling it to go away, calling on our Lord to make me well.  But here’s the thing I’m realizing.  I have still been able to minister, to worship, to read the Bible even with a cold.  Oh yeah, it’s a little distracting to cough and blow my nose while trying to focus on God, but here’s the thing – I still can.  God hasn’t left me or abandoned me because I caught a cold.  Caught a cold, what’s that about.  If I catch a baseball or a football it’s because I am trying to right?  So, how do you catch a cold?  That’s another blog.

My point here is even though it slows you down this thing we call a cold, it doesn’t stop our God from being who He is in our lives.  We keep fighting through the cold and eventually it goes away.  You know what the Doctor says, “It’s a run of the mill virus, can’t really give you any medication for it.  It should go away in 7 to 10 days.”  Why do mine usually last twice that long?

Well, be healthy and even if you are fighting a cold, fight the good fight, fight to win and don’t ever give up following Jesus.
