Countdown 8: First Days

My friend Joy suggested a countdown to mark the treatments, so here we are at number 8 just finished today. The Chinese consider 8 a lucky number because it sounds to them like the word fortune. But for me this 8 means hope; it means the 8th day of Creation, i.e. the first day of the New Creation, the Church, heaven, angels, and all the good stuff (Heb 11:22+ if you gotta know). 

And it's on a butterfly, something that God made, and which is as much a natural symbol of New Life as you can get. AND, you know, when he made this, THIS butterfly, he knew I would SEE it! It's even my colors. Or am I just a bit loopy on these five meds I got today? That red stuff getting pumped in your arm? That stuff’s gotta put hair on your chest. It’s certainly throwing its weight around in other places.
