IT'S NOT EASY BEING A SOUTHERN BELLE-EVEN AFTER YEARS OF PRACTICE!

POUR ME OUT WITH THE DISHWATER!

I am feeling like you do after you prep for a colonoscopy---sorry I don't know a better description. It's that feeling like someone has sucked every ounce of your being out and then for extra measure gave it a wring out the other way. Perhaps it is the weaning off the happy pills--and finally having to really deal with where I am. I don't know--why---I just know what I feel---and that is not good at the moment.

Ok-Mike Jones--you told me to tell how I feel--be honest---so I am being honest---and more than likely everyone is sick and tired of hearing about it---I am tired of crying and tired of looking at my navel--it's not a very attractive navel----sick & tired of being sick & tired.

HELLO GOD----I'm hurting down here! WHY WHY WHY---that's all I need to know.

Dear Thelma,

I'll buy the convertible with my IRA----I'll fill it up with gas---I'll buy a GPS that finds the nearest cliff---When can you come?

Louise

Don't take that seriously--my sick attempt at levity!

Trusting that His word is true and that He is near to the brokenhearted and that He is enough! Praying that you feel the nearness and comfort of the Lord's love today. I love you!

As Christians go through a trial, three things we should remember:

1. God has pre-approved it
2. God has prepared us for it
3. God will preserve us through it

Then He'll give you double for your trouble....just like He did Job.

This comes from a sermon preached by Fred Luter. He is a pastor in New Orleans who lost his church, congregation and most eveything else during Katrina.

Better times are coming. Remember God has plans (plural) for you and they are good.
