New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

"It's an impertinent little coffee, more of a java...the kind that would call other coffees 'joe'...wakeful nose, full body, and an aftertaste that reminds one to go out and get the job done."

Early morning ping....

Guys, my mom just took my dad to the hospital with chest pains. I'm really kind of worried here. Any prayers for my dad, and my peace of mind, are appreciated.

I'm up to get my brother off to school, but he doesn't need to be up for a few minutes, which is why I'm here. I don't suppose I'll know anything by the time I get to work...

[Rose in RoseBear]

Jen, it may be something entirely different, and they'll be back in a little while.

Are you sure you want to go into work today? Your peace of mind might be better served if you do something other than work.

[Wneighbor]

Prayers Jen.

[JenB]

Thanks ladies.

I'm at work now. It's better than sitting around the house. The boss will understand if I don't get much work done - since Dad's his partner and long-time friend, I don't know that he'll get much done either, until we know.

I just this second got a call. Apparently they're running tests. Don't know what's going on. I keep telling myself it'll be fine, he's young and healthy, he works out every day...

[2Jedismom]

I'm prayin' for your dad, sis! Keep me posted when you hear anything...

Does he have any kind of history of this kinda thing? Does he have a lot of stress right now that you are aware of? What about stomach problems? A history of "recurrent" heartburn?

Chest pain can be caused by a LOT of things, not bad and very treatable...don't worry! It's more likely one of those things than anything bad!

[Rose in RoseBear]

Tests are good. Tests mean that, whatever it is, it isn't blatantly obvious.

When DaBear had his gallbladder attack, they didn't start running tests until they ruled out really bad stuff.

[JenB]

No history. He's probably under stress but I don't think it's more than usual. I've never heard him complain of heartburn. Is it hereditary? I don't think anyone in our family's had heart trouble.

Rose, I'm hoping that's what the tests mean, that it's not the obvious. That it's heartburn or something weird. I just have to sit and wait... and pray...

[2Jedismom]

Good morning everyone...quiet night last night...not too many posts for me to catch up on...not vey often I post good morning on the same page I said goodnight on!

[2Jedismom]

I'm with Rose on this one...if they are running tests, that's good news!

[Wneighbor]

Morning 2J. Was kinda quiet yesterday huh?

[Corin Stormhands]

[Corin Stormhands]

Will pray Jen.

[2Jedismom]

Yeah!

I got my satelite stuff all set up and ready to go...first class starts recording at 2am on Sunday morning August 15th, school starts on Monday morning August 30th.

[JenB]

Thanks.

[Corin Stormhands]

2J and Rose are right Jen. The fact that they're already running tests means they aren't treating anything right now. So that's a good thing.

But, having been there myself, I know it's hard to wait. We'll keep praying.

The God that cares about your hiccups certainly cares about your Dad.

[Corin Stormhands]

Was kinda quiet yesterday huh?

Yeah, them snooty elves are usually responsible for two or three hunnert posts...

Oh wait...I meant to post that to someone else...

[JenB]

I know, I know, and I keep assuring myself - maybe that's why the hiccups thing happened yesterday, so I know that even though I feel helpless and terrified, God's in control. But I am still scared. We all need him, I need Dad around so much... I've just got this horrible sensation in my stomach every time I think about it.

[HairOfTheDog]

Prayers for him Jen....

[HairOfTheDog]

I am going to go back to bed for a bit..... I was todding and turning last night and I feel like I need a couple more hours.
