Taking a step is the first move in getting anything done, but more often than not that step should be back.

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. My step forward today is another surgery. I have been placed NPO, which means nothing to mouth, not even water. For me it is a step of faith that this will solve a ton of pain issues. Have a blessed day today and always.

Faith Is Taking The First Step Even When…

Updated: Nov 26, 2022

… you don't see the whole staircase. This quote by Martin Luther King Jr., is a great analogy for faith. King lived his life by faith and ultimately sacrificed it by serving others. He is best remembered for his work as an American civil rights leader…

Thank you Mikel and you’re welcome. I need surgery, it will be tomorrow or Thursday. Original surgery was damaged during rehab. Blessings.
