Yearly Archives: 2010

Well, this cold just continues.  By noon I was stuffed up and a little rest helped.  The rest of the day has been inside.  I had one project that required me to head outdoors, but someone volunteered.

This sitting around is tiresome.  Imagine those who are restricted to hospital beds (there is one I’m visiting who has been in for weeks).  Imagine those who face depression (there are those in the past who have waiting for a phone call).  Imagine being snowed in (wouldn’t a number of us love that right now)!

May you have a good evening and find sufficient grace and strength for the day!

Well, the conference goes on.  I didn’t go!

This morning both of us who were to be headed to the conference were feeling sick – fluish, cold, that type of thing.  Rather than continue to spread our germs and not feel well, we cancelled out.

So, here I am at home.  I’ll try and slow down and bit and see what comes.  At this moment my head is clear – I trust my chest will also remain clear!

Tomorrow two of us head to a conference on rural churches.  I’m interested to see the contrast between the more mainstream approaches to church ministry vs. the rural distinctives.

The conference is in beautiful Cypress Hills.  Maybe a bit of walking for exercise and clearing the mind.  And a resort facility that should provide an opportunity for good listening, eating and fellowship.

See you later!

I felt a tickle.  Not big, just enough to cough once, then again, and again.

So, although my days are busy, I laid me down to rest.  At 7:00 pm.  I thought maybe I would arise shortly and do some hospital visitation. 

Now, three hours later, my throat is a bit better.  My soul feels rested.  And I’m off to bed once again.

Sweet dreams and may your rest be as deep!
