Doctor My Eyes (song, Jackson Brown, 1978)

Hello Grafted in Reader,

Today is November 5, 2019 in my corner of blog land. In brief:
- My dad is receiving palliative (comfort) care from hospice at his home in another state. Please pray with us for wisdom to make decisions that are best for him and all concerned.
- This post I will highlight a couple health matters and also recommend a lengthy article for those interested in faith heritage.

Eyes
Remember the Jackson Brown song, Dr. My Eyes?

The Mayo Clinic newsletter, Housecall, reports Artificial Tears applied to the eyes may help reduce dryness that occurs with aging, or other health factors including those environmental. These are available at most pharmacies as over the counter eyedrops.

Blood pressure readings can vary between your arms. If this is so, google what this may indicate?

Faith Heritage
There are several online documents that address faith matters as they relate to antisemitism or anti-Jewish teaching from the Bible or church faiths. I started reading a 2001 document produced by Lutheran World Federation titled
"A Shift in Jewish-Lutheran Relations"
Google this by title and add lutheran world federation, it should come up in your results.
It is a PDF document, so be advised.

The new Torah cycle is underway, and this week the reading focuses on Avram who later becomes Avraham. He was willing to separate himself and his household from a culture in decline. See Genesis chapters 12-14 for the reading this week.
Until next visit, Kevod Yeheveh, the presence of God be with us!
