hi
The short answer... cancer, death, (touch of depression) etc.
I need a distraction that will keep my mind off all the heinous stuff. I need fluff right now.
How about this anecdote:
Our bookstudy had hospitality this afternoon, and since we have bethelites in the cong, they often stop by for food on their way back to bethel (because they've missed dinner by the time they get home).
So we had a really nice time; just about everyone showed up at 3:30 or so, and we ate, drank and were merry. We were expecting one of the bethelite couples to stop by, and at about 6, they finally did.
The sister walked in and said hello to everyone, and one of the other sisters commented on the fact that her hair was messy and actually had some twigs in it. She said, "What were you and Tom doing before you came here? Were you rolling around together somewhere?"
Everyone burst out laughing (I love that this hall isn't easily offended). And the bethelite sister said back, "I don't have time for that kind of stuff - I'm way too old!" Uproarious laughter.
I'm sorry to hear that :(
Thoughts and prayers are with you.
I'll try to come up with something distracting for you
:-) ty
hey man, it's good to see you on here! sorry you've been dealing with some stuff
ugh, I feel your pain, I've had some rough times lately (within the last 6 months). You'll be in my prayers. Just stick close to your brothers. Be where they are, against all your natural inclinations. You are loved by your brothers, and more importantly by Jehovah. He knows what you're going through better than any of us. Rely on him.
(usually you know all the things I've mentioned above, but it's always reassuring to hear them from someone else. Hang in there. Don't let Satan keep you down.)
