Just a quick note to assure all of our blog-friends out there that I’m not about to completely implode. Entries like my last one reflect those honest feelings that creep in late at night when I’m thinking way too much.

Things are rough but we’re coping. I hear people sing songs at church about being desperate and “wanting” to be desperate before God. When I hear these songs I think, “What exactly are we asking for and do we really want to be desperate?” While it sounds poetic and feels nice to wax on about being desperate before God… I am learning that the actual experience really sucks (in a spiritual way of course). It is only by God’s grace that we have made it this far. And I believe there’s more grace where that came from.
