I found out I will be having my surgery on November 8th in San Francisco. They discovered a genetic disorder in a valve coming out of the pancreas. I have been told it is a possible cause and the procedure should take care of it. They will put a stint in allowing the pancreatic enzymes to flow easily. I want to thank everyone for their prayers, and because it is only a possible cause, pray it is the actual cause and the procedure corrects it.
Genetics is a fascinating field. Your body relies on a genetic code to maintain it’s ability to stay healthy. The cells in our body are completely replaced, or changed, on the average of every 7 years. We are literally a different person (physically). The only thing that allows us to carry our identity is our DNA. In some ways it reminds me of being born again. When we come to know Jesus Christ, He gives us His DNA, found in the Holy Spirit. And eventually that Spirit will make all things new in our life. You can’t escape it, it’s J-netics (J for Jesus). Behold all things become new. Much like my pancreas, we are all born with something wrong, sin; for some of us we find the problem earlier in life and for others it makes itself obvious when we are adults. The real question is, “what are you going to do about it”? Just a thought I was having. Keep praying and God Bless.
