05/17/09 - NNHS Newsletter - True Faith
“Faith isn't the ability to believe long
and far into the misty future. |
![]() |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I'll admit it. I chose today's theme because of a really weird video I saw this week and wanted to share with y'all. As you know, I'm nothing if not weird. Though the words are not quite as I might have written them, the title alone is worthy of consideration.
Of course, as Wikipedia says, "As is the case for many New Order songs, the words in the title do not appear anywhere in the lyrics."
But do watch this award winning 1987 video, directed by Philippe Decouflé!

Paul's (Harty - Bardolph HS, IL - '61 - of IL)
pain has been intensifying steadily this month. I was able to make an
appointment with the VA Hospital in St. Louis, but not until June 8. We
saw his local doctor late this afternoon, who strongly suspects a bowel
obstruction, so he's insisting the local hospital run the tests they balked at
running last month. The tests are scheduled for 6:15 tomorrow morning.
Paul is apprehensive about the tests, as he's rather claustrophobic and the two
don't jive well. I don't know how long we'll be gone,
or when I'll get back to the Newsletters,
but I'll report back in when I know something. Your
prayers are requested.

Carol,
I hope all goes well for you and Paul.

You are in our prayers. We are in NC on vacation, so don't
know the whole story yet. Take care. I'm glad he's getting the tests. It's
always better not to wait!

From Edna Whitcomb Harrison ('65) of VA -
05/13/09, 10:35 PM - "Hi":
Carol,
I am sorry to hear that
Paul is still in so much pain. Let us know what you find out. The newsletters
can wait.
Big Hug,
Edna
From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 05/13/09, 11:04 PM - "Paul":
Add my prayers for Paul. I'm sorry he's in so much pain.
I hope this helps. They generally can give a Valium or the like to help with the claustrophobia. I had a 73 minute one and there is no shame in saying" help, me here." Can relate, very much so!
Search this site, they really have miracle cures and yes, even for obstruction.

Sorry to hear about Paul's continuing problem, hope everything gets better fast. The request is not needed, prayer on the way. Take care, both of you.

I am just so sorry for your dear Paul. I have heard it can be just terrible pain.

From Bill Black ('66) of GA -

So sorry to hear about the crisis. Don't give the newsletters another thought... We're all hoping for a quick diagnosis and recovery for Paul. Everything else can wait. Really.
Bill
Thank you so much, Sweetie-Pies!
Your
outpouring of thoughts and prayers really touched our hearts!
The tests were performed quickly and without incident Thursday morning, but as of Saturday afternoon, the radiologist still hadn't read the CT scan, and our GP wanted to wait until all the results were gathered, so even though the lab work was in, we still do not know anything - except that Paul feels far better lying down or standing up than he does sitting up in a chair. I'll keep y'all posted!
From
Wayne
Stokes ('65) of VA - 05/14/09 - "Post Office":
I found this very moving, both on part of the child and parent and especially on the part of the Post Office employee that sent such a reassuring reply. You have your opinion.
Where does GOD live?
At the "Post Office" of course...
This is one of the kindest things I've
ever experienced. I have no way to know who sent it, but there is a beautiful
soul working in the dead letter office of the US postal service.
I, too, found
it very touching! Thanks so much, Wayne Honey!
FINALLY:
From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 05/15/09 - "Coming Soon":
Ordering a pizza in 2012?
This is funny, but the scary part about it is that it's probably not too far away from being reality. I can see it coming.

True Faith (The Morning Sun)
-
New Order,1987
I feel so
extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...
When I was a very small boy,
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
And the value of destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there was just no way of knowing
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...
I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...
