Hell on earth: the sequel! Duh Duh DUHHHH! Just kidding. No really, I was having a terrible day until about 3 minutes ago. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night with a splitting migraine headache, so I was up for about 2 hours. Then I woke up in a bad mood, and have been grumpy/nappy ever since. I tried to vote, but I'm registered in another county, so they won't let me vote in Shelby county, and it's likely that Tipton won't let me either since I'm a resident of shelby county. UGH! ..but at least I tried. On top of all that, my right eye is swollen almost shut- some kind of freak thing that happens once every month or so, out of nowhere and lasts 24 hours and disappears. So I'm a big grumpy Quasimodo now. All I need is a hump and a bell tower. Please excuse the horrible analogy.

Over and over again, I've been asking myself "why is this happening" and also asking God the same thing. Then a smile came over my face when I realized why. This keeps me from getting too prideful. It keeps me humble, and since God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble, that's a cool position to be in. I feel like such a lunatic for being happy about that, but I guess that's just who I am in Christ. Maybe I've gone sane in a crazy world.

you are too funny jbc! i actually laughed out loud at the bell tower scenario, but really i have to agree about the whole Quasimodo deal. we all have something to keep us real...
we are supposed to care for the widows and the orphans and all of those people out there who have broken hearts but do not have Jesus to heal them and show them what love really is...

love you!
keep on shinin' that light!!
