Cybersalt News

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

I'm happy to report more good news about my right arm!

On Monday I met with the surgeon, and she told me there is no need for surgery and no need for a cast. She also told me to stop using the sling — apparently if I kept it up, my arm might never fully straighten out again. As I try to do with my doctors, I took her advice.

I can report that just days later there has been a noticeable improvement in my ability to use my right arm. There is still quite a bit of pain — apparently there are other things in there that got stretched or possibly torn in the fall — but I am genuinely grateful that things are mending, and I'm looking forward to things getting better and better.

Thank you so much for all of your prayers. God is definitely at work through this and in this!

Enjoy the rest of today's Digest.

Jungle Jokes: The Big Break!

A small green lizard on a log with his neck stretching up tall.I was walking in the jungle and saw a lizard on his hind legs telling jokes.

I turned to a local tribesman and said, "That lizard is really funny."

The tribesman replied, "That's not a lizard. He's a stand up chameleon."



Quote #2452

The silhouette of a woman pushing a man in a wheelchair along a beach at sunset.“The downside of my celebrity is that I cannot go anywhere in the world without being recognized. It is not enough for me to wear dark sunglasses and a wig. The wheelchair gives me away.”

Cost of Farming

"Oh, I guess the first thing I'll do is go and pay a few bills."

"And what about the rest?" the reporter asks.

The Farmer shrugs. "Well, I guess they'll just have to wait."

What a Wonderful World

A small yellow bird sitting on a tree branch.We’ve all had those days. Days when our world doesn’t seem very wonderful.
