Well, my RAST test for the peanut allergy came back negative. I should be happy… and I am, in a way. At least I know I don’t have to be concerned about whether or not peanuts exist in something; however, now I’m uncertain what’s been happening to me. Now there have been three different GI-related episodes shortly after I ate – two with peanut butter and another with… I dunno what. So, I’m going to have to make an appointment to get a full physical I guess to see if there’s some other thing wrong with me that would cause the symptoms I’ve encountered.
I’m still obviously going to avoid peanut butter until I know what’s up. We’ll see what time brings, I guess.
Hopefully, you see in these writings a man who is staying The Course and pursuing The Path amidst the pitfalls and selfish ways of being a son of Adam. I pray earnestly that my writing would encourage some of you by showing you that this journey - though arduous and sometimes tragic - is a journey of great satisfaction. A satisfaction greater than our greatest imaginings. The trials and refining fire of tribulation are to be recognized as a small shadow of the suffering of our Savior so that we can rejoice, as Peter and the disciples did, to be counted worthy to suffer for the sake of the Name.
