I guess I have had these pains about four days now. Ever since I ate the Pay Day Bars I bought to give to the beggars, if I have any. About ten years ago I had a doctor tell me I had this disease, although I had never hardly ever had any symptoms. It is a blessing and a curse as Adrian Monk would say, to have this high pain tolerance. I guess more of a blessing. Anyway, I need to get out and buy some Kellogs All Bran which usually takes care of this for me. Nuts are good, but only in moderation. When, Oh When will I learn moderation?
Anyway after getting the pain again after breakfast of bran cereal and cranberry juice, I called my friend from Choir to explain my absence to the director. Hope my seat mate in choir does not worry. We are kind of a team in our support for one another and others in our section. I will miss singing the song. Still the Cross. So appropriate for this present financial crisis. Starts out:
"Sometimes it seems the world's unraveling around us. We fear it all may one day come undone. We can't forget the One who came before us to forgive the past and give hope for what's to come.
"When it all comes crashing down the cross still stands alone. And on this our faith is built and our courage is made strong. "
"When the world falls apart and you fear for your heart, there's a tower of peace. It's still the cross.
"So bring your sick and your poor, and your longing for more, to the place of relief, It's still the cross."
Words and music by Jeromy Deibler, Scott Williamson, and Donna Smith. Arranged by Dave Williamson.
So it is hard for me to sit and be still but the radio and TV church programs are so rich here in Mt. Clemens, it does have a plus side. After the Moody Church I will have to go out and get my All Bran. Today's Moody message by Norman Lutzer is about loyalty colliding with our Christian loyalty. I should probably order the CDs of this series. Its only 4 messages but great.
So I have this time of rest, real rest on a Sunday, and need to rest feeling that all will be well with the church, the choir and the library in spite of my absence.
