Church was last night, so we're all at home today. Gary has taken the 3 youngest ones for a walk---their Sunday afternoon tradition. Oldest daughter took one of the boys out driving---he's about ready for the driving test and is trying to get the details down pat so he can get his license. The kids have all waited until they're 18 or older to do the test, and we figure this is easier all around, with avoiding the necessity of permits, etc. So far, so good.
Am hoping for a more upbeat week. While I realize we're not experiencing the official Tribul@tion right now (or are we?--just kidding), life certainly has been tribulating (is that a word?) enough for me. Those experiences a Christian goes through when God is silent are a study in patience. And confusion. That still, small voice has taken on the quality of a whisper that I can't seem to hear. Looking forward to that again. I've missed Him.
Will stop now. My melancholy nature makes for pretty morbid posts sometimes, but it's all about the journey, right? The sermon last night was about dealing with things in life that trip us up....the things we can't seem to let go of. I sense that my concerns about income border on the obsessive. I know I need to work on that. Maybe now, when income is slow-coming, would be a good time to let go of that one.
As for the rest of my Sunday---there are waffles or pancakes and sausage for dinner, and the second half of Tess of the D'Urbervilles to watch. That's enough for now. Not gonna go to tomorrow's issues. Today's good and that's enough for me. :)
