Alleluia Soon!

Today is Maundy Thursday, at least this morning is. It is almost 2a.m, and I am still awake, doing things, like laundry, thiings that should have been done when normal people do it. Me Normal? No way. Good day, no rain, time at the pool and on the treadmill. HOLY WEEK, a time to be aware, to walk the walk of Christ, to remember...Lord, I walk with you this week. Thank you for walking with me, and carrying me when I could not walk.

a nudge is a sign

Okay, so on February 1st I fell in my own kitchen, and two weeks later I decided to get it checked, so it WAS broken. I had a nudge to go get it checked, and now I'm sorry I did. The pain was bad enough, but w/out getting it checked I could deny it and not believe it was broken. But when the x-ray confirms what you don't want to know -- it's not a good nudge.

Another nudge was one of a call to make a change as to my assigned diaconal ministry. Leaving a parish that had loved me and accepted me for seven plus years, well, it was not a nudge I wanted to accept as well. But it just wouldn't go away, and after months of thinking and praying and praying and thinking, well, I knew I was being called in another direction, and so my resignation as Grace Church's deacon. Overall my good memories will overshadow the not so good thoughts and experiences, and I will never ever forget the faces, especially of those that let me cry with them and laugh with them and hold them, and be held by them. I will never forget... and through it all I think of Julian, "all shall be well."
