There and Back Again

    You know me well enough by now. I like the internet and am fascinated in all of the media opportunities that are available on the internet. I recently heard someone say that the amount of information exchanged on the internet each day far exceeds the entire history of man. Wow! What a tool we have in our hands! Unfortunately it’s used for a lot of things are completely unwholesome—but there are so many ways to use the internet to bring Glory to God and to share the gospel. For example—I personally like to write—which means that one day, I’d love to publish books…the issue is money—but most of all time. It’s easy to type out a devotional or a short little update about my life with pictures and that sort of media from my own home—sometimes before I even get out of bed… Who wants to go down to the local studio or publishing company and pay big bucks to get something that you can do in your own home?! Well, I’m really not THAT technology savvy, but I do like to play around with it and try new things out. I recently joined an online small group with Christ Fellowship. It was pretty sweet actually. They did a live broadcast from A pastor’s house and had a live chat room next to the broadcasting window. I thought that was pretty neat. So I checked out the website and it turns out that you can get a free broadcasting account with these people and actually have a fairly decent range of options and you can do some perty nifty stuff on this thing. I’ve always wanted to do a video blog---but I think I’ll have to wait until I get home to get everything started. Yeah, I signed up for one—just to kind of play around with it. 
  Anyway, since this is indeed my medical journal, perhaps I can update you a little bit. The last couple days, my stomach has been feeling better and so I’ve started eating again—but only small portions and very mild things (i.e. nor fruits, veggies or milk products per Dr. Parra.) but my stomach has been taking these basic things alright. I still hate the idea of eating food. I’ve just gotten so used to not eating..but I’m kind of getting desperate for something that tastes good now. But my tiredness and weakness is still a bit of an issue. It’s literally like somebody randomly pulls the plug on my energy and it all just goes down the drain and then suddenly I’m so weak I can’t stand up or stay awake—weird, annoying, UHG! But I was up all night last night with a sore throat and a headache—and now I’m congested. Can’t wait to see what other Amazon diseases I’ll be picking up next week while I’m in the jungle. Woohoo! *sarcasm* 
  Well, breakfast is about to be called and I have to take my meds before I eat….that takes a while since they taste like nail polish remover!
