This is both a praise and a funny story. I had a colonoscopy and an upper GI scope today due to ongoing GI issues. No polyps found today, which means that for now, there's no more danger of cancer. We were very concerned, as during my last colonoscopy they'd cut out 13 polyps (several of which were of the aggressive precancerous sort). Thanks be to God for his mercy toward us in this!
Here's what funny, though. When I was sedated today, Kara told me I said this to the nurse. I have no recollection of it at all.
Nurse: So what do you do?
Me: I'm a pastor. My wife says I yell sometimes when I preach.
Nurse: You yell when you preach? What kind of preaching is that?
Me: (apparently, quite emphatically) Good REFORMED preaching!
For context, this was happening at a Catholic hospital. Kara said she had her hands full trying to shush me, as I began talking about Reformed theology and tried to engage the nurse on the doctrines of grace.
That's after this one from my previous colonoscopy (actually, back-to-back colonoscopies in one week due to complications after the first one. Back-to-back colonoscopies are not something I'd recommend, by the way!)
Kara said she asked me as I was waking up after the procedure, "Tell me your deepest, darkest secrets."
My response was, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins..."
She replied, "Fair enough."
Ha ha!
