You ever have days where you just feel completely out of it? Today was like that for me. It is mostly out of a result of Tuesday night. After I left the church, around 6pm, we headed over to the home of our wonderful friends, Mike and Marcy and Brown,in Cliffton Forge. We had a great time as usual, and after Mike and I were royally defeated at our staple game of Taboo, the Chesleys left the building. Well, not long after we came home, I went to bed. Around 1am, I woke up really not feeling well. I thought maybe the Little Ceasar's was just not agreeing with me, and I could try to take something and feel better.

WRONG! Let's just say, I ended up hugging porcelain... Sorry, just being as delicate, yet honest as possible. Well, needless to say, the rest of my night was not the greatest. I wasn't hugging the "throne" anymore, but was really weak and just feeling bad the rest of the day. Between preparing for class tonight, tending to Aubri (who was quite a bit better today-thanks for those of you who prayed to that end), and making an obligatory run to Wal-mart, I was completely wiped out, not to mention grouchy. Sorry, Leann and anyone else I exhibited this toward.

Well, despite all that, I still had a good class tonight with the teens. I borrowed a great idea from
Group magazine and gave them these two statements to write about and discuss as a group: "Sometimes I feel like God is..."  and "Sometimes I wish God would..." Got some really good feedback. We will continue that next week, while getting a care package ready to send to the family of the VT shooter.

So, what about all you out there in "My Church" land. How would you finish the two statements above? Think about it. Now, I'm getting really tired, so I'm going to start "winding down." Another full day tomorrow. I'll have help though from my mom with Aubri, so that will be a blessing. I love you, mom! Goodnight and God bless.
