This was supposed to have been my light term. A relaxed three months with lots of time to stay on top of my day job, keep the blog ticking over, do lots of outside speaking and also get a big chunk of the next book written. Needless to say, it didn't quite work like that. And somehow in my light term, I still managed to get way behind in almost every facet of my life.
I find it hard to blog about stuff that goes wrong or badly, though. That's strange because any of my friends will tell you that I have no trouble moaning about anything or everything in person. Somehow it just seems wrong to do it in a less personal and much more public arena.
And it's been a month full of bad stuff. Only minor things to me and mine, but a constant stream of disappointments or setbacks connected to work and writing and church, and also a steady stream of more major things to friends and extended family: bereavements and terminal diagnoses and so on. It's a fallen world and nothin' works like it's supposed to. Praying for a friend with a spouse who is probably recovered as much as she can from a stroke. And so much of her communication skills are impaired and she's in depression as a result. Man, the Fall is just like a stroke; glimpse of remembered clarity and now we just can't process, just can't put one word after another, just can't get it right -- minute after minute, day after day, century after century. Maranatha! |
