When to Worry About Worry
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsI oftentimes find myself worrying about things over which I have no control. I can ruin an otherwise perfect day fretting over something that isn’t going to change no matter how much I worry about it. But letting go is hard. Worry isn’t exclusive to people with Myasthenia Gravis. It happens all the time by…

Ahhh, the Good Old Days
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsFor some reason, I’ve been thinking about how much life has changed over the years. For example, when I was a kid, there were no seat belts in a car. You could sit, lay, kneel, do whatever you wanted in the backseat. You could even climb up onto the ledge of the back window, if…

Do I Tell Them?
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsA reader recently wrote in with a question. This person said she was going on vacation to visit family and friends, many of which she hadn’t seen in years. She wondered if she should tell them about her Myasthenia Gravis (MG) and whether it was better to do it beforehand or just wait until she…

If you’re not currently receiving information…

During that two-year period, I’ve written a total of 279 blogs (including this one). I’m currently averaging nearly 252 readers of each blog I…

In the Price of Your Ticket
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsI heard a story today and it left an impression on me. It’s supposedly a true story, but the lesson it provided was something I needed to hear. The year was somewhere around 1910. A young lad wanted to make the journey to the United States, so he saved up all his money for a…

When Things Aren’t So Bright
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsI don’t always share things that are going on in my life. It’s not that I try to hide anything, it’s just that sometimes sharing too much information isn’t always a good idea. Today I’m going to make an exception because I think there’s a lesson that can be learned. At least I’ve learned from…

Thanks, NASA
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsI don’t know if any of you have been watching NASA’s space shot sending four astronauts to fly around the moon, but it’s had my attention. I can still remember the day Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the moon. Oh, I know there are plenty of doubters out there that are convinced a…

Passion Week
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsI’ve always been a little confused with the use of the word “passion” when it comes to this week in our Christian calendar. It represents the period between when Jesus rode into Jerusalem hailed as a king and when he was tortured, ridiculed, crucified, died, buried, and rose again from the dead. I suppose my…
