Sorrow

I cried a lot today, throughout the day.

So much has been going on lately that I feel a lot has been passing me by but today's news was sobering.

How fragile life is and how GOD is in complete control.

I didn't cry out of my own sadness and pain but at the thought of another's sorrow and pain.

I am not sure why things like this happen and what it all means and how "God is going to use this" but I try and be hopeful and trusting.

They are examples for us all of how to be truly faithful in beyond trying times.

I don't know if I could do it.

I feel like I am sounding faithless when saying that, but it is the truth.

Yours prayers are coveted and God knows all.

I am shaken.

Just in case you were wondering...

I don't use a black background because I'm depressed or gothic or anything. Its because that I think bright backgrounds are ridiculous. I mean, you wouldn't sit and stare at a light bulb to read something that I wrote on it, right?

Now that is something to ponder.

Work

Ahhh...one more day after today, and it's finally the weekend. I can't wait! I'm sitting in my car right now waiting to go in right at 7. If I can't leave early, why show up early? :)

There are some people that I am just not excited to see today. Oh well, life goes on I guess!

Sick Day

Yeah, that's right. I took a sick day today. I woke up this morning and I just couldn't function. My head was killing me, and I was extremely groggy from a sleeping pill that I took the night before.

I'm feeling better now...it's probably better that I took a rest and relax day after everything that happened on Tuesday.

I am hungry and my wife is not feeding me tonight, so I guess I better go fend for myself. Cereal, here I come :)

Busted Heart

Alright so...here's the deal. This morning I was at work, plugging away just like I do every day. I noticed that I had a little bit of chest pain, but at first it didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. After all, I had been having very minor pains for the last few months; however, it was nothing that really warranted a trip to the doc. Eventually, the pains got worse, so I decided to take a walk around the building. It seemed to help subside the pain, so I went back to my desk and continued working.

About 15 or 20 minutes later the pain came back, but it was worse than ever before. I was walking towards my managers desk when I felt myself starting to collapse...you know, the whole tunnel vision feeling and all of that. I caught myself on a wall and started thinking that I was having a heart attack. So, I make my way to my director's office, and I feel so bad about this, but I basically collapse on her desk and tell her that I have to leave. She doesn't know what is going on or what I'm talking about, but she goes and gets me a glass of water. By the time she comes back, I'm feeling a bit better, which I'm sure she thought was weird. I called Ash, and she came to pick me up so that we could go to the hospital.

When we got there, they put me up at the top of the list because of the chest pain...they wanted to make sure that I wasn't having a heart attack. I could have sworn that I did - never in my life have I felt the way that I did that morning.

They decided to give me an EKG and an X-ray to make sure everything was normal, and, of course, it was. So, they told me to follow up with my doctor and see if I can get a referral to a cardiologist to get some more tests done.

I think more than anything it was just scary...because, you know...you never know about these things. As my mom and grandma both said - with something like that, it's better to be safe than sorry. Can't really mess around too much when it comes to your heart, or so I've heard.

Well, if you get a chance, say a prayer for me. I'm hoping that everything is fine, but there's really just no telling until I get some more tests done or until the inevitable happens...

P.S. Ashley - how is that challenge coming along for you? :)
