INSTALLMENT 5: "GET BUSY LIVIN..."

(Rev. Dr. Nicholas "Nick" Marica is a 69 year old pastor who was diagnosed with Covid-19 and Diabetes on Christmas Day, 2020. He spent the next 6 months in three different hospitals. This blog tells the story of the struggles that he and his family endured.)

It was in late February, that I recall being aware of my surroundings. The first person I saw was Kathy. From that moment on, regardless of what else happened, I knew all would eventually be well. As I began to comprehend my situation and prayed about it, I asked myself as a pastoral therapist “what would I advise?” I thought “day by day, keep active, and let Jesus take care of the rest.” I would “get busy livin...”. There would be no turning back. I was going to live a normal life regardless of what it took.
