Abilemech continued his reign of terror when even after defeating the enemy he went after the survivors who were just milling around in the fields. He divided his army into three groups each designated to kill a specific group of people. He and one of his groups went to attack the town of Shechem to destroy the people there while the other two groups went after the survivors in the fields. After destroying the town, he threw salt all around as a symbol of destruction. The people in tower heard this and were afraid and hid in the place where they worshipped their god. He proceeded to torch their place of refuge and kill the 1000 men and women that were there.
If I ever wanted a period of time to have a "mulligan" - this would be it. Monday, I developed a case of food poisoning and that wasn't pleasant as well as sliding and falling down at my work place's parking lot. Hurt my left arm and it is slowly coming back. On top of that I lost a glove which is also a pain. I went home early that day and try to recoup and with my temperature like a sine curve I finally had a 101 fever after a bottom of 96. With some Tylenol I ended up dropping that but I had to purge myself and do the BRAT diet for my stomach. Got my results from the lab and they seem pretty decent and my doctor called me last night to confirm that as well but now it's up to the specialist to see what the next course of action is (i.e - surgery or simply monitoring it). Emotionally, I am ok but I do have my moments and am grateful for the family support.
Heading home tonight and will see the specialist tomorrow and work out of Princeton for the balance of the day.
Praise for today: Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will gather around me because of your goodness to me. Psalm 142 : 7
