Finally, Club Trillion had a new post up and this hilariousness was on there!
It's been an interesting 24 hours. I finished a book that had a heartwrenching ending. Then I got the news that Natasha Richardson died. Obviously I did not know her but hearing that someone who I have seen before (granted that was in the newer version of Parent Trap) and someone with two children and a husband has died is heartbreaking. What a horrifying future to face as a child who has lost your mother. Who has lost the feeling of her wrapping her arms around you in a hug. And for a husband to lose his love. It really hurts my heart to think of that.
In thinking today after that rough end to the night, I was thinking about the stages of grief:
shock and denial; pain and guilt; anger and bargaining; depression, reflection, loneliness; the upward turn; reconstruction and working through; acceptance and hope.
In thinking about certain things that have happened in my life, I can see that yea, these are actually true. And it all happens without you even thinking that you are following some pattern that actually exists. Random. But the thoughts that were running through my head today.
I am heading into work tomorrow (Friday - supposed to not work). But I am really excited because I get to work with the older kids and the 1st graders with the computer (my babies!!!). I am pumped. And tomorrow will be one week until my parents will get here :) Only two weeks til London!
I started a sermon series today: Knockin' on Heaven's Door. It's all about Heaven and what the Bible tells us about it. Today's sermon said that Heaven is three things: Hope, Home and Him. Heaven is Jesus. A quote a liked that the pastor quoted was "Jesus, if I could have Heaven without You, it would be Hell. If I could be in Hell and still have You, it would be Heaven. For You are all the Heaven I want." Someone who has had a recent little scuffle with the thought of death and wondered about the promise that is Heaven, I am pumped to hear the rest of this series. And to remember that I am a citizen of Heaven.
Happy basketball watching :)
