It's Friday night...a week since I last blogged...a week back at work (hospice---didn't take time off from church job last week) anyway, I am tired...bone deep weary pooped...and now I have to put the whole church thing into high gear. I know that it is the right thing for me to continue serving the church, for lots of reasons...practical ones like supporting my family, and spiritual ones, like it is what God has called me to do. But, I am tired of working 7 days a week. Additionally, there has been a great deal of added stress this week from Dr. Doolittle child-o-mine. I agonize over how to help her...can I even help her??? I pray for her alot...all the time...and am sending her Dad up to stay with her for awhile...which means I will be on my own with my 2 jobs and way too many animals to care for, and my 110 mile a day minimum commute which means I am gone from home over 12 hours a day. Ok...enough whining. This whole blogging thing continues to be very strange to me..and I suspect that I am essentially writing to myself..and maybe God...as I am fairly certain no one else ever reads this blog...which I guess is ok. I have to admit, though, that I think I would like to connect with others through blogging...just don't really know how to do that. I guess it will happen at some point...or not...meanwhile, I will keep at it...if for no other reason than I made a commitment to myself that I would.
