Today

Went to church today and how nice is it to be missed.  I was not able to go the last few Sunday's because of how sick I was.  Today I got to go and it always make me feel so good inside.  Not only do I get to go to church to learn about my God and my Saviour, but I get to spend a few hours with my church family.  You go and you know you are loved and people care about how you are doing.  I mean really care.  Not just the courteous  in passing how are you feeling.  But the put an arm around you hug and ask, making eye contact, and really wanting to know what you are experiencing.  How great a feeling is that.
Generally speaking, when people ask me how I am doing, I say O,K,  I don't like to say what I am really experiencing because it would be the same conversation over and over.  I like to keep my friends and family and I am not sure that they really want to know everything.  I tend to keep most of it to myself unless they can hear it in my voice.  When I am really sick, it is apparent.  I look sick, at least that is what people tell me.  At the end of ordinary days, I look exhausted even if I did minimal tasks.  When I am sick, at the end of the day I look like death warmed over, which I can tell you is not a very becoming sight.
