A few things have happened this weekend that provide me some perspective. I got a mild ear infection early Friday that progressively got worse. Part of it getting worse was a small cut in my ear that created some bleeding, most of it was just trapped fuilds of one kind or another.

In short, no fun for the kid this weekend.

I have, however, gotten a chance to be alone and to get some much needed quiet.

I realized that I quit writing about my fantasy world and was seriously tempted to get sucked into something that is not worth fighting for. I also found that I have true friends and a wonderful fiancee. It’s good to know that you are loved: it has been God’s message all along. Granted, the modern American concept of love is quite different than the ancient Hebrew concept of love, but the point is still valid. God loves me.
