In the Zone

Or should I say, in the office.

After almost a week of being in Ottawa, the feeling is funny to end up walking into a familiar office at 7:00 this morning. 

Of course, the first thing is to set up the "coffee" and eat an apple as I run through administrative details.  A few phone calls to check out things and people.

At lunch I headed to the hospital.  I had touched base with a cancer patient a few weeks ago.  Back today to just give reassurance and pray.  She appreciates the time and her family also expresses appreciation.

The afternoon I finally admit to myself that I’m tired.  An hour’s rest is better than nothing.  And in the evening I’m out for coffee and encouragement!

So, there is today’s zone. 

Certainly not a war zone.  But where struggles and joys are all part of everyday life.  Rather, this is a zone of life where coming alongside others is good and right!   And right where I should be!
