I have no idea what's the next step. I am moved over from the employee health services to the university hospital. The referral was sent in late on 23rd, right before Christmas. Here in Finland Christmas is celebrated on 24th. It will take time before they will even read that referral, and then...

Oops, and here I am digging my hole even deeper. 😂 No, you’re definitely not a Karen. I hope I’m not being rude by assuming things after just reading a few lines, but from what I’ve seen, you seem straight to the point, honest, independent, and someone who stands up for what you believe is...

I didn’t understand the jokes about “Karen”, so I had to look it up and now I get what it’s all about. All jokes aside, I’ve only seen a few lines from you, but I’m pretty sure you’re not a stereotypical Karen. You seem like an honest, straight-to-the-point person.

I never cared about trends. Not when I was young nor now at an age of 45.

Thank you for all the prayers! I have good news! I have suddenly regained much of the strength in my left arm. It is not fully healed, as the pain remains, but there is a clearly noticeable and measurable change in strength. The muscles respond in a completely different way now. I am grateful...

I am going to share another Bible passage. Since I learned that I might have a serious cancer I have a few times stumbled upon this promise: Matt 12: 20 A bent reed He will not break off, And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish, Until He leads justice to victory. 21 And in His name the...

Thank you for your kind words. There are of course several specific things I wish prayers for... but at the same time I feel a bit selfish for wishing all these things. Number one is of course full healing and recovery. I have two 18 year old boys, and I know they will still need my help with...

Yesterday I learned I might have an aggressive cancer, so right now the thought of waiting or searching for a wife feels not relevant. I mean, if I would date someone, I would just cause her grieving.

I tried to buy the American Indian Tea, but it is impossible. It is not accepting my credit card for some reason. I am in EU/Finland, so I wonder if there is some obstacles preventing me because of this.

I have a messed up immune system, because I have an autoimmune disease called ulcerative colitis. The stronger my immune system is, the more it tries to kill my intestines. I am trying to balance it by diet instead of using medicines, but this fall I had deep sorrow from losing my best friend so...

You also asked me how I am doing. I skipped answering it in the last message, but now I am going to answer. I am going to be brutally honest: not very good. Today I got to know I have two tumors on the nerve that goes to my left arm. A few weeks ago I suddenly lost the strength in my left arm...

Today I received the results from an MRI scan. I have two tumors near my spine, located on the nerves that run to my left arm. They appear to be growing quickly, as I have lost most of the strength in my left arm in a very short time. In addition, there are changes in two lymph nodes near the...

I was married from young adulthood until my early forties. Suddenly finding myself single in middle age makes things difficult. Christian women close to my age are usually married, and there are really no Christian single women where I live, neither in my church nor in the other churches in my...

At this time of the year Finland is very dark. I will instead post a summer picture from near where I am living.

I like very much the time right after the Christmas dinner is eaten, it is getting dark outside and we are listening to "O helga natt" (O Holy Night) sung by Jussi Björling. Everything is so peaceful at that moment, and the words of the song speaks directly to my heart. And of course I also...

These breads I made with 100% wholegrain flour. The loaf on the left is made with spelt, and the one on the right with emmer. Both are ancient grains that were commonly used before modern wheat. Ingredients: Sourdough levain About 170g of water 5g of salt 250g spelt or emmer wholegrain flour...

For the latest 1.5 years I have been working on my spiritual life, taking more time for prayers and Bible reading. It was then I decided to get 1h earlier up each morning so I would have more time with the Lord. And more than anything, God is working on me rather than me working on myself. My...

Machine translation is very handy. Like 20 years ago I was friend with a man from Poland. At that time I learned a bit of Polish too.

Jag förstår att det var en vän som du uppskattade mycket, och att du saknar henne. Ni verkar ju ha gjort så mycket tillsammans. Det är verkligen helt otroligt tråkigt att pandemin tog henne. Det är inte många dagar kvar av detta år, så snart får du mycket med ledig tid då. Vad har du för planer...

Jag märkte i dina tidigare inlägg, och även nu, att lite norska smyger sig med. Hur har du kommit i kontakt med norskan, har du släktingar i Norge också? Jag lärde mig också något nytt om Louisiana. Jag visste inte att man pratar franska där. Själv har jag inte upplevt skärgården utanför...
