it's been a while.

my first instinct is to apologize ... but i would then quickly ask ... who would i be apologizing to? :-)

let's see ... when was the last post ... oh ... almost a month ago.

since then, i've been running to ... well ... just running, it seems. all good and necessary stuff ... but running as if i had the energy of a teenager ... which i don't.

i said goodbye to uncle john parker the same week that i was called in to be with a woman who lost her baby 8 months into her pregnancy ... last week i went in to be with a couple of burn victims, arrived at the hospital to find that one of them had been medevacked (sp?) directly to MCV ... and found out the next day that he didn't make it.

got an email yesterday asking for some paperwork that is long overdue ...

got asked if i'd be willing to check into taking a public speaking course again ... by someone who has a lot of trouble hearing but won't consider hearing aids ...

and i'm having to think about going back to school in the spring???

so now it IS time to apologize ... for whining ... but i'm going to leave this here for now ... and probably delete it later.

i have a sermon to write.
