What the Heck?

Not the most comfortable position to be writing this and I didn't feel like it at all, but then a thought flashed through my mind which I will speak about later. Forgive the baseness of this blog but speaking one's mind is about reflecting on the high and lofty things in life but also the mundane
  1. This is the 3rd time in 12 months that I am lying flat on my back having spent most of the night crouched over the throne of suffering and contemplation. In the public toilets at the movies and some of the malls, I honestly can't vouch for the ladies section, they have some pictures up warning one to exercise proper hygiene after using the convenience. Among the pictures is a description of a dark age tool of torture as well as a cartoon of a loo. Last night I was tortured again.
  2. I have a propensity to stomach disorders despite the fact that I eat very responsibly and exercise 3-5 times per week. Annatjie is crazy about my bod. This is the accumulation of being blessed with good genes, not the kind you wear, years of training as a soldier in the bush and a mind disciplined to train myself for maximum performance in the Father's Kingdom.
  3. This weakness in the digestive track is probable the holdover for having contracted malaria as a lightey in Zambia where I lived with my mother and one of my step-dads. Anyhow here I am at the mercy of my guts.
I don't know about you ous but this is the worst kind of sickness for me. One is mos then inclined to feels sorry for yourself. As I was lying here trying to fight the cramps, foul belching fumes coming from my mouth, you can be glad I am saying this digital format, the thought struck through my consciousness. Jesus healed people without fail and with compassion. Sometimes suffering a bit like this brings compassion into ones reference towards others. After all we are made from mud, all of us! 
Nowhere does one read of Jesus suffering sickness, where did His compassion emanate? Then it dawned on me, He was looking towards Calvary and the suffering He would go through all at once for all our sickness. What I am experiencing now, He suffered as well, plus all the sickness and disease which  was the collective result of our sin.
Thank you my Lord.
