This past week had so many things scheduled, it wasn’t even funny. I am grateful that I seem to have gotten through it without mucking too much up.
I am grateful that we had some more good weather, and the kids got to spend some extra time out enjoying it.
I am humbled and full of gratitude that the priest I have been going to for Confession is a good man and has been praying for all of us.
I am grateful that I got to spend time with friends this week. I am thankful that I got to sleep nearly 11 hours at a stretch.
I bought myself a bluetooth mp3 player, and I’m hoping to be able to use it to save and store good podcasts as well as some music. I received it today, and it’s a neat little gadget.
I am thankful to see a little bit of progress on the house. I’m thankful to be finding things that have been lost for awhile.
I am thankful to have something to look forward to at the end of the week, as there are things coming before then which won’t be pleasant.
I’m thankful for all of you, and to everyone who is praying for us. I wouldn’t know how to keep going without that.

Glory to God! Those are some good things for sure. God bless you and give you peace and strength to get through the unpleasant things this week.

Thank you. The thing which I dread the most happens today. It may sound melodramatic, but each time one of these things comes up, it feels as though I’m showing up for my own execution. And… I try to remember St. Alexander (of Munich), who actually did have that experience, and I try to emulate that courage.
On the flip side, I’m planning to go to the Touchstone conference later in the week, and see Rod Dreher speak. I do hope to be able to at least say “hello” – our experiences in at least one way have been very similar over the last couple of years, and he’s written quite a bit about the absolute hell the end of a marriage is. Because he is Orthodox, and he seems to be clinging to a similar faith, it’s been a blessing to have “found” him again earlier this year. I know I’m just a nobody commenter to his blog, but to the extent that I can, I’ve just tried to write to reach him in commenting and such that despite everything, our hope in God Almighty doesn’t disappoint, and to hold on in faith.

I’m sure you’re not being melodramatic — just honest! I am so happy that particular trial is over, and you have one more success under your belt, i.e., one more story of God upholding you, and of you not going crazy. ❤
