body. I know it's all necessary, but it sure can be monotonous. 

She was finishing all of the prep work and was ready to take me in so
that the doctor could do the surgery on my cataract. 

At that point, I said very seriously, "Could I change my mind?" 

She looked at me and sighed very deeply, and I could see she was not a
happy camper. But she said very calmly, "Yes, you can change your mind 
if you really want to." 

"Great," I chirped, "can I have your mind?" 

Staring at me, she then gave me a piece of her mind. I didn't see that
one coming. 

The surgery went fine, and I was surprised. I have been wearing glasses
for a long time, and now, out of my left eye, I could see almost 
perfectly, whatever that is. I couldn't see up close, and the doctor 
said I would probably need reading glasses. But I have never seen the 
world so bright as I did that day. 

Darkness seems to creep up on a person without that person even knowing
it. That happened with me. Nothing is better than seeing the brightness 
of the light. 

As my wife was driving me home, I happen to think of a verse of
Scripture. “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? 
the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 
27:1). 

Sometimes I get discouraged by the darkness around me and don't realize
how dark it is. But when I put my eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ in the 
Bible, I see that marvelous light that lighteth the world.
