Lay it Down

Around and around goes the ceiling fan overhead...

I shut my eyes tighter, and it's no use...

I can't sleep.

Exhausted, I came upstairs for a nap,

because today has been hard.

The dizziness and fatigue seem to be constant, and there is something new...

The 'Itch'

One should have a healthy respect for what an itch can do to a person....

it can bring them down.

Of course, when you have 16 radiation treatments (and counting),

this is what to be expected.

My whole groin area seems to be on fire as several different maladies have

reared their ugly heads.

Feeling sorry for myself, I felt cursed like the Egyptians in Deuteronomy

when Moses warned them of disobedience. 

 They would be afflicted with boils, hemorrhoids, sores and

itching that won't go away.

OK, now I'm thinking crazy!

I reached over for my MP3 player chastising myself for not putting it on in the first place.

The beautiful voice of Charles Billingsley began to serenade me and I snuggled back under the covers.

Lord you know my heart

Lord you know my need

Every step I take

Lord I feel the weight

Of every burden on me...can I

Lay it down at the Altar

Lay it down at Your feet

I am desperate for mercy

I am desperate for peace

For you're the one that is Holy

And I'm the one who's in need...can I

Lay it down

Lay it down at the Altar

If you are one who needs mercy

If you are one who needs peace, come and

Lay it down, Lay it down, Lay t down

Lay it down at the altar.

Put everything, every burden at the feet of Jesus...He will carry you,

 even into blissful sleep
