I Don’t Get Sick

I don’t get sick. That’s why it’s such a surprise that I have been on my back almost the entire week. I literally don’t think I did a single work-related activity this entire week. It’s pathetic (and a bit scary because I am self-employed and my ability to pay the bills is directly tied to my ability to work!)

Actually, I lied. This morning I did a work-related activity. Yesterday a very important client called and asked to meet with me at 9 AM this morning. Though I didn’t sleep at all last night, and was so dizzy I could barely walk, I didn’t think I could cancel this meeting because I had no way of letting them know I wouldn’t be able to make it. So I went to the meeting and sat there, alternatingly sweating and shivering. I really remember almost nothing about what we discussed except that they want a whole new site by March 28 (I think). I hope I didn’t make too big a fool out of myself.

Anyways, all of this is to say, first, I apologize that the content of this site has been a little lacking over the past week. At least now you know why. And second, if you could be so kind, I would appreciate your prayers. I have deadlines looming and clients who will soon be getting upset with me.

    Power Dynamics within Marriage

    Any well-taught Christian should be able to speak of God’s attributes and to distinguish between those that are communicable (shared with other beings) and those that are incommunicable (unique to God alone). Among God’s communicable attributes is power. God, who has ultimate power, distributes limited power among human beings. This power is given to us…
