Foscarnet

For the past couple of weeks I was on foscarnet twice a day. The cumulative effects of the drug have really taken a toll on me physically. Recently, I transitioned to the point where I take foscarnet only once, but I have yet to notice a change for the better. In fact, the headaches are so bad that I spend a good chunk of the day bedridden and unable to focus. Reading, watching tv, playing video games, or anything that requires concentration or the use of my eyes seems to exacerbate things. So I have been listening to a lot of sermons, podcasts, and random things from iTunes University. It's pretty amazing how much free content is available.

Anyhow, the past 12 hours have been particularly bad, and I have been in bed munching on Tylenol, passing in and out of sleep, and waking up just to swap out ice packs. However, I did want to share a sermon that I listened to in light of current events. In the link below, click on the sermon labeled The Christian and Government.

One thing that struck me was the fact that when Paul was writing, Nero was the emperor of Rome. For a Christian, you really can't do much worse than to have Nero as your ruler. So if we are told to submit to an authority as evil as that, I really have no excuse for rebelling against our current system.

Alright, that's all for now; even writing is difficult at this time. My head is throbbing and it's late. I'm going to bed.
