Sunday Matters: Getting There

5 Comments

Sunday Matters

Good morning! This past week was a good reading week for me. I finally finished Tom Lake. Gosh, I love that book but it was a tad slow for my recovering brain. I’m glad that I stuck with it though. Now I can move on to my next read!

Right Now:

I’ve got student ministry this morning and then the day is wide open. I really need to purge my house of medical stuff. It is a constant reminder of my time in the hospital. Maybe I can at least unpack my hospital bag.

This Week:

The Hub’s bday is this Thursday so we will celebrate on Saturday. He wants to go to Din Tai Fung and see Civil War. Have you seen Civil War? I’m not sure I can deal with a heavy, dark topic but it’s what he wants to see.

Reading:

I am starting our  next book club read, Honor.

Grateful for:

The little bursts of energy I’ve been getting. Such a change from holing up on the couch all day long.

Sunday Matters: Life Update

I come to you all with good intentions, to be consistent with posting and reviewing but health issues can truly derail a person. Good news, my referrals were finally put in for MRIs (brain and spine) so I hope to have answers soon.

In other news, my son’s job on the reservation had to be cut short. Toxicity in the workplace cannot be ignored. Once again he is seeking employment and perhaps a new direction. In his down time he created a non-profit that combats graffiti with urban art done by local artists.

Right Now:

I have student ministry this morning and will be working on a message for November later. My brain has to go through this “gathering” phase and then the inspiration pours out.

This Week:

Let me just say that Halloween should always be on a Saturday. Tuesday is just not acceptable. The traffic just to get home from work will be a nightmare. I’ll be lucky if I can get home before the first trick or treaters arrives! Plus, cooking dinner. The wait times for delivery or takeout are brutal on Halloween. I will probably throw something in the Crockpot.

Reading:

I heard about a re-telling of 1984 titled Julia. I’m intrigued. I just added it to my Kindle.

Watching:

We were in the mood to watch a spooky movie so we tried the remake of Friday the 13th. Oh boy. It was not good. Honestly, the original is not great either but I guess I prefer the campy-ness of it.

Listen, you all have a really good week. I hope to get those MRI appointments made this week. I am trying to remain hopeful but it’s alarming to be able to walk one minute, and then a few moments later be completely unable to control your legs. Pray for me, please. Wish me luck. Think positive thoughts. I appreciate it.
