Today is a better day!

I am so glad that I am feeling better. It is terrible when a bug takes over and makes you feel lousy. Something else that I have discovered about myself is that when the sun shines it makes me feel better. Right now the sun is shining through the window and I am laying in bed, typing. I feel better. I feel like the day will not be wasted. Most people who lead productive lives and then they get sick feel like they are letting the world down. That is the way that I felt Sunday. But I think that we get sick so we can be protected from overload. Admittedly I have been in overload for some time now. Hospitals, funerals, burdens, people with problems, worry that I will say and do the right things. Sermon study, the lack of dedicated attenders and servers. Hope that those who are dedicated will not get burned out like me... Oops, did anybody hear that? I guess that I must admit it. I think ahead to the holiday season and I am ready to cry. Planning and problems, ministry on a shoestring with finances. I wish that it was an easier time but it is the task at hand. Here I am bellyaching and I think of Paul in prison, in chains, had been beaten and mistreated. He counted it joy. Joy? I have some things to change. God help me change! I better quit now. This rant has helped me and I guess that I needed to get these things off my chest. I hope that anyone who reads this understands where I am coming from.
