This Journey

Thoughts, rants, prayers, sermons I'll never give and other stuff gathered as I make my way through this life.

Evil and suffering

My theology says that the war is won, but my life says that there are still battles to be fought. Specificially the War on Colds. I’m sure the cold virus has it’s own raison d’etre, but frankly, I’m pretty tired of being the host. Or battlefield, or whatever.

As is so often the case when one has a stretch of days that are over busy and stressful and then end, I’m sick as a dog. Sicker than my dog, actually. Post-nasal, Marlene Dietrich voiced, sinusitis-headache, tired, weepy eyed and dehydrated from the “medicine.” All I want to do is crawl back in bed and sleep. Probably for a week. And have some handsome male nurse bring me tea and maybe a sandwich now and then.

But I’m at my Saturn dealer waiting to hear if my hand-brake is completely hosed or only partially hosed, avoiding my writing for LN’s project and over-analysing the Saturday morning coffee conversation I had. And trying not to cough because it hurts too much.

Coming this week (I hope) per request (See. Ask, maybe the answer is ‘yes!’): Pictures of my 100 year old house.

Author: Not Fainthearted

A paradox wrapped in an enigma playing the accordion. I'm a sinner-saint, child of God working at the cross-roads of church and world. A Deaconess called to connect people living near the center with people on the edge and to help your life sing (literally and figuratively) while doing it. People don't always get the deaconess part. Could be the swearing, the corporate job, or the wine.

  1. If it helps, you’re not alone. I’m just about to take some cold medicine, go to sleep and dream of that male nurse you mentioned.

  2. Sorry to hear you aren’t feeling well. I can’t wait to see the pictures of the house. Get to feeling better. Lots of rest!!!

  3. Yikes! I hope you feel better soon.
