Fade to black....repeat every other day or so!
The rest of his day went pretty much the same...Oh, Sweet Marmalade! It's his calling and his ministry and he does it oh so well. He knew God wanted him to be a Dr. from the time he had typhoid at the age of 5. I've never heard him complain about getting up in the middle of the night or about missing a night's sleep. (Just to be clear, I've heard him complain alot, but not about that.) In this town, the biggest small town in Kansas, going into public with "Doc" is akin to going somewhere with Santa Claus...all the kids wave and rush to him and the parents look on smiling.
And since it's the life he loves, it's our life too, 'cuz we love "Doc"!
Oh, and speaking of Santa Claus..

ReplyDeleteIn everyone that I have met at K-State from Salina, I've only heard amazing things about Doc! I would have to agree :)
I think you forgot the short time spend drinking coffee out of his Teddy Bear mug!
You forgot to add:
ReplyDeleteTake call from frantic sister in law, with yet another sick PBkisses baby! HA!
WE LOVE "DOC" and we love you too!!
Wow! Must be difficult to keep up with him at times! But it seems as if you both love it! Enjoy your day. Oh, and when you want to post a ling, you click on the little "globe" in your new post box, highlight what you want to link to and then just copy and paste the link in the pop up box that comes up. It's very easy.
ReplyDeleteSorry, it's late at night. I meant post a LINK.
ReplyDeleteNo Jamjar, I didn't actually talk to Doc on Sunday-Just seems like I should have with how often I call. And I agree about the blessing from sharing, but c'mon, you know rewards are fun too! Ha!
ReplyDeleteThat Doc is ONE OF A KIND and definitely a keeper. He is the most patient and sweet man....What other man would practically "give her what she wants!" A 3 year old screaming in a car that wants to drive!!!! We love you Doc...and today is the day you get BLOG recognized!!!
