Well, the prodigal blogger is back. And not a moment too soon. This last few weeks have honestly been some of the most trying times I've seen or felt in a long, long time. I'm sorry to not be able to elaborate, but I just can't. One of my children has been going through a trial, and, well, there is nothing worse. I am reminded that God sent His own Son to earth to suffer at the hands of cruelty. I'm not real big on the suffering of my own children. I've spent almost every moment of the last 17 years trying to prevent it. I'm sure I failed the faith test a few times. (I've got that Louque mouth) It has made me ask a lot of questions about what I believe, and why I believe it. Right now, I know that God will not snuff out a flickering wick, and if He does, what am I going to do about it? He has the words of life, so where else can I go? The fact is, if God decides to throw me in hell, what power do I have to stop that? I am completely reliant on His mercy, and I'm safe there. That's it. Stripped bare. God created me and you and my children. We can only follow the best we can and it will not be enough. Thank you, Lord, for mercy. Please give me more.
On a MUCH lighter note, Geaux tigers! What a wonderful diversion! I love you guys! Have a great weekend!
How are things?
