Medic

Today I have felt like our seven-year-old feels in the morning when he has to get up for school: weepy and like it's all just too much.

I really felt despair as I rose this morning and not because I have any hard circumstance to endure. Here's what I wanted to do: NOT get up, NOT teach two classes, NOT make dinner, NOT fold mountains of laundry and NOT host community group at our house tonight.

Wow, pretty ungrateful, right?
