Well, Jake has his first game tonight in Pittsford. This morning he gave us the team report...."We aren't ready for this game" were his words. And then he hoped that the other team wasn't ready yet either. Let's hope so. Either way, it's 87 and sunny with a nice breeze, the cows are out on pasture, enjoying the warm weather without a care in the world and it's a great day for a baseball game. I will have to miss this first outing...yes those cows haven't figured out how to milk themselves yet!
It was a situation I glossed over. I didn’t have to deal with it every single day but it was often enough for me to go to my Bible study group and submit it as a prayer request. They would listen to me and invariably one or two of them would tell me, “You’ve got to take care of that. Get rid of it.” I knew I should, but I didn’t want to face the conflict and I was fearful of the consequences. Life would not be the same. I would have to find other avenues to fill the void that the resolution would create. So instead of facing it once and for all, I worked around it. I figured out ways to deal with it. My work was suffering because of it, but I kept making excuses that it would get better over time. If I just kept feeding the monster, it would be satisfied, and things would work out. But that’s not what happened. I had sleepless nights of worry; I was short-tempered and spent a lot of time wringing my hands and waiting for a better result. Before you start ...
