Melancholy treatment
Watching too many series discs of "Third Watch" that I rented from Netflix has gotten me into a melancholy mood.
I've found that music is the cure for it. I have this recording of baby brother singing "In this life" that I always play when I get this way.
I posted it before on my old Blog so I thought a new audience wouldn't mind a relaunch of an old favorite of mine.
If you want to listen, please turn on your speakers and then click the following file. I hope to enjoy it.
One of the reasons this recording means so much to me is because this Brother of mine died suddenly in the spring of 2004 of a massive heart attack. He was the first of my siblings to pass on.
Since then, we lost one of my older sisters to breast cancer. Just recently, my oldest sister has been admitted to a local hospital a couple times. She has diabetes too. It seems to run in our family. Her body will collect excessive fluid around her heart, in her abdomen and ankles. They admit her and remove as much as 40 pounds of liquid and give her other medications which brings about improvement enough for her to be released.
She tells us she is so tired of it all and really would like to go home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. None of us doubt that she's ready to go.
Thinking about such matters does little for my own melancholy spirit or mood.
