Today began with a good old classic spat on the way to church. Gotta love those. By the time we arrived, I just wanted to go hide in a corner and cry. I am not sure how many people really want the honest answer to the "How are you?" question, so I tried to pull myself together and go on. I can't fool anyone. At least, not anyone who has a caring bone in their body. One sweet friend gave me a hug and said "You look so sad." Later I told her it had been a long week, and yet I feel that I cannot be honest about that with most people. "I wear my feelings on my sleeve." She said "More people should be that way." Then...guess what the sermon was about??? Being real, getting rid of our masks, getting honest with God and each other. I ask you today...Do you dare? Do I dare? If not, let's at least try to be the ones that others feel safe being real with. That's a good place to start.
Not too restful of a day. The emotional start, a less than smooth worship practice that continued into the service (usually bad practice equals amazing service, not so today!), lunch meeting, took the boys swimming where my mom is staying, played ping pong (don't even try to imagine that one), dinner and now I feel that I could go to bed. It's 7 p.m.
