QUESTIONS

This is our pond.

Is it the reason the water is leaking out front?

Where have the ducks gone?

The mother was caught crossing the road with her babies.

This was 64, a busy road.

When I was growing up I was taught not to ask questions but just do what you are told.  I may have said this ti our children.  You do not question your parents, your teachers, the police or doctors.  If you have doubts or fears do not express them.

Dad has always been  a questioner and I have not.  I am learning to question more.

Dr. Tam the eye doctor had us watch the surgery on a video and then also explained how she would look and how quick it would be.  We should have asked how long a wait before hand and how long after it?  She did ask if we had any questions?  We did not ask about the time before and after.

Dad heard the man next to him complain about the wait before when he had rushed and been stressed to get there on time.

Dad remembers talking when she started the procedure and she told him to be quiet.  He was given more medication.

He was wheeled out into the hall outside and lay there waiting.

Most of us feel time is important especially for Sandra taking time off work to be there.

I still have the book  I read years ago that questioned my religion, called "Inside out" by Larry Crabb.

It started me asking questions about the false hope of modern Christianity.

I am reading it again.  Prayers are not always answered and we can feel let down by what we have believed.

Dad is still sleeping.  I am awake but feel like I have not slept at all.  I felt I had to be sure he did not fall when he gets up to the bathroom. I was concerned if he took to long.  Had he fallen?

Now we just have to figure out when to take all his eye drops.  The new ones with the old ones with time between each one.

There will always be more to learn and see, more buried emotions to feel, and more truth to be revealed.  Doubt can be the beginning of faith!
