Ugh… over a week of bronchitis and starting Friday I caught a cold. I’ve been sleeping and sleeping and sleeping. I have a headache that feels like a vise is gripping my skull and refusing to relent. Inhalers, cold medicine, and pain relievers… oh my.
This on top of my entire family still recovering from their colds and my wife having to care for the kids while she has a cold… prayers are appreciated as we all work through illness. Nobody is hospitalized and we still have much to be thankful for… but we’re struggling with remaining joyful through it all.
I pray that you and yours escape the spring cold season unscathed.
Hopefully, you see in these writings a man who is staying The Course and pursuing The Path amidst the pitfalls and selfish ways of being a son of Adam. I pray earnestly that my writing would encourage some of you by showing you that this journey - though arduous and sometimes tragic - is a journey of great satisfaction. A satisfaction greater than our greatest imaginings. The trials and refining fire of tribulation are to be recognized as a small shadow of the suffering of our Savior so that we can rejoice, as Peter and the disciples did, to be counted worthy to suffer for the sake of the Name.
