I took some extra time for prayer this morning. It was so good. The prayer energized me. I was hyper all day (in a good way). I had so much fun at work today teaching and playing with the students.
The girls let me play volleyball with them. I am lousy at volleyball (I do serve decently well and occasionally get a lucky bump or set here and there)but I really have fun playing. The boys have been letting me play basketball with them even though I am terribly out of shape and can't really play full court. The students at our school are incredible human beings with amazing potential to make this world a better place.
I got to have dinner with a former student. We laughed a lot. It seems that God has been giving me many opportunities for laughter. Laughter is good for me. After dinner I went to a meeting with a few other former students who are trying to live their lives completely for God. They inspire me.
It is nearly March and I am healthy, energetic, and upbeat. After several years of struggling with my health, this is a huge blessing.
I'm going to start posting a bit more regularly. I've had a lot of interesting thoughts buzzing through my mind lately.
Lent is here! Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner! Kyrie Eleison!
"Have mercy upon me, O God ... according unto the multitude of your tender mercies blot out my transgressions." (Ps. 51.1)
