Red Tape

     When the government, a rehab center billed by the hospital in spite of the treatment being a medical recommendation, and an insurance plan that is perceived by Medicare as unusual come together to pay a claim - the claim doesn't get paid. Creating more confusion, Medicare insisted their records showed I was still an insured employee of my old school district. The rest of the details are boring and can be summarized by the combined hour plus on the phone yesterday. With the help of the school district insurance gal, the billing person at the hospital and my insurance agent, it should all resolve itself in 10 or 12 or 14 days. Then I can pay the deductible that I tried to pay when I got the service.
       The good news for the day came from connecting with a good friend from the school district business office and finding out she's going to be a Grandma for the third time. Preparing for the Tuesday Bible Study also challenged my brain and prodded my thinking about the value of God's Word. Psalm 199, tho focus of our study, has a bit to say about that.
       Georgia weather can apparently come from any direction, north, south, east or west or any combination thereof. Hurricane Debbie is playing havoc with Florida and keeps teasing Georgia forecasters with the possibility of much needed rain. Most late afternoons cloud over and look like rain, but not much has fallen and that little bit of spotty rain that's fallen was not produced by Debbie. The heat is rising, though the breezes today make it a bit more tolerable. By Friday though the forecast is for 102. I guess Friday will be an indoor day.
