WE WON'T BE WALKING IN THE PARK ANYMORE

My memory work is around Rev. 9:17, "And I saw horses in the vision, and them that sat on them"

This is going to be one of those crazy posts in which I ramble and don't know where I'm going. 

Recently, I've thought often of Joni Eareckson Tada. She used to say when she entered her phase of battling chronic pain, she realized her previous decades of wheelchair quadriplegia were a walk in the park in comparison.

I know my recent back pain sometimes gets maddening and makes last year's fall and injuries, seem like park strolls too. But I was thinking, when I dream, I don't have any back or knee problems at all. I wonder...does Joni see herself in her dreams playing field hockey, swimming, riding horseback, like she did at 17?

She often wakes in the middle of the night tho', and has had to resort to reciting truth until help comes to turn her. My wee morning coughing spells, on the other hand, can be quickly quieted with lozenges kept nearby. And I can reach above my head with my arm even if I move the wrong way pain shoots up my spine.

But One Day, Joni and I won't have to worry about any of that.
