The dark week that wasn’t

In the world of theater Mondays are “dark,” which means that the lights are off because there’s no show.
Somehow I’ve gotten into my being the idea that the week between Christmas and New Years is a holy, sacred, “dark” time. Not dark in an evil sense, but dark in an incubative sense. It’s a time [...]

walking cast blues

sleeping in a walking cast is not as easy or comfortable as it sounds. First, you have to figure out a way not to put all that salt, dirt, mud, etc on the thing into your bed! I’m using a pillowcase. Then, you have to get it in there before you pull up the nice [...]

It is broken

I went in to the Dr. because it just didn’t feel the same as other sprains have at day 5. After 8 x-rays she got a shot that shows clearly that the metatarsal is broken.
She will wait to hear form the orthopedist on whether it is displaced enough to need to be set. At which [...]

When Christmas Morn is Dawning

It’s Christmas morn. Before the sun is up - at least when I started writing this. I’m on the couch and the door is open for the X to come in with stocking presents and to have Christmas breakfast with the boys.
The boys will probably sleep until mid morning. The dog is exhausted from a [...]

All I want for Christmas…

is a clean house.
Clean in the corners.
Clean in the closets.
Clean under the radiators.
Clean in the basement.
Clean on the porch.
It used to be just messy and cluttered.
Now it’s dirty.
Just a clean start.
I swear I’ll keep up with it, this time.

Got up to make DS1 a nice warm healthy breakfast before his first cross-country ski meet. Missed the bottom stair. or maybe the bottom two. all I know is I found myself on my back at the bottom with my ankel swelling up and the toes hurting ominously.
luckily its a high-on-the-ankle [...]

Prayer for the woman who called

Good and gracious God,
She wouldn’t tell me her name but you know who she is. She sounds distressed. Be with her in her distress. Comfort her. She wanted to be assured that Pastor Jeff’s leaving didn’t have anything to do with children. Calm her fears and worries about her children. It sounded like she was [...]

Welcome!

11/18/08 Note: In preparation for being away from the computer for a while, I've turned off comment moderation because I want you to be able to interact with my guest posters. Be good while I'm gone kids!

Welcome to the new (and hopefully permanent) home of This Journey. It's good to have people walking along, especially during the bumpy parts. I can be contacted at not.fainthearted at gmail dot com. Or leave a comment!
