reprise

I'm in this place again. Turns out the relief was short-lived and I am back where I started.

Frack!!

Add a failed laptop power cord (can't even turn the thing on), some very creepy guys who think they're all that and a bag of chips (do I have to deal with this right now?), a gaping hole where a really cute cat should be (I miss how he would cozy up my lap when I read a book), and some seriously misplaced hope into the mix and you have one very tired and emotionally volatile woman. If I could figure out how to do it, I'd infinitely prefer to run away. But I can't, so here I am.

And that's about all I've got.

  1. Can I say first of all that I absolutely love the fact that you said frack. (Did I know that you watch BG?)
    On to serious stuff. I think you should take a day off, go to an art museum, and soak it all in.

  3. As one member of the real and physical Body of Christ that walks this earth, I am doing my best to hold you up from falling from where I sit, 3000 miles away. It's too far, but the physical presence of Christ is here, even if the mystical presence of Christ is dim and unfelt.

  5. Ah.... You've been heard. And that is all I can offer, maybe even mostly what God offers. I hope it helps.

  6. I just stopped by once more to say that here, in these comments, is the physical Body of Christ made evident. Sarah stands with you, Heather offers solidarity, Jodi offers intercession, I offer my friendship, LL offers her shoulder, and Joelle offers her ears.

  7. I offer my ninja services for the creepy guys... yeah I got skills (think Napoleon Dynamite here) and can relieve you of one stress, just e-mail me the names.

    Now, seriously I am praying for you sister. May the God of creation give you better health soon.

    Be blessed my friend, and rest.

  8. sarah - i am proud to stand with you. love you ...

    heather - he he. sometimes i use the word "frack" so unconsciously i forget its origins. thanks for the reminder ... and for the suggestion. beauty is its own answer, isn't it.

    jodi - thank you. i hate that i've been so morose when you've come by here to visit. thank you so much for your loving prayers.

    christianne - it is no small wonder that in spite of the distance, the connection is deep and real. the body if Christ is here and it is what sustains me. no doubt about it.

    i love what you shared about how every person offers a different piece, all of which i (we) need. thank you, Jesus.

    l.l. - i gladly lean my head upon said shoulder. thank you for offering it (i hope i don't get your shirt too wet).

    joelle - that means a lot. even if i don't know what it means, i know there's heaps of love in it. thank you.

    carl - i'll send you an e-mail with the names and addresses; maybe we can take those bags of chips these guys supposedly come with and munch on them afterwards. thank you for the healthy wishes. i hope you are well and am praying for you & amy and the far scarier health issues you are facing!

    everybody now ... GROUP HUG!!

  9. Just hiding down here to broach an off-topic thing. You'll see that I just posted something called "Random Acts of Poetry." I still remember that beautiful poem you wrote... I know you have it in you! I also know I'd be willing to recommend your work to be featured (I can do that). But first you'd have to join. Pop on over to see what I mean. I hope you'll consider. Also, I'm thinking that your photography might be featured too. How I'd love to see that!!
