Quiet, Sick

I was hoping today would look a little differently than it has thus far.

I visited a new church this morning. The service was LONG. Worship was actually good. There were moments where I began, at least, to meet with Jesus. The sermon, well, I'm not actually sure the guy had a point. I certainly couldn't find it. He did talk quite a lot about surfing - which is perhaps not the most useful illustration ever when preaching in a land-locked province.

I went to the park this afternoon. Hoping to walk and pray. To find some things growing in me again. Instead, nearly as soon as I arrived I began to get ill. I walked for probably less than 15 minutes before becoming increasingly ill and having to wait to catch a bus to come home.

So, I'm tired. I'm going grocery shopping with my roommate. Then I guess I'm going to rest.

I'm feeling quiet. And a bit discouraged and frustrated. And still a bit ill.

there is sickness down here in the US of A. sorry to hear that you are ill. my whole family and i have been battling the funk for some time.

i love that the pastor talked about surfing. i grew up surfing(i grew up on the coast) and never once heard a sermon about it.

i hope you feel better.

battling the funk - a good term for it.

ah yes, surfing. I think it was an illustration. something to do with catching waves of revival. but like I said, I'm not precisely sure he had a point (for that matter, I'm not sure he knew whether or not he had a point)...

thanks for the wishes to feel better. Right back at you.
