"

Lord, have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways…

I’ll sing it over and over and over again.

the head and the heart

"Love cannot exist in isolation: away from others, love bloats into pride. Grace cannot be received privately: cut off from others, it is perverted into greed. Hope cannot develop in solitude: separated from community, it goes to seed in the form of fantasies. No gift, no virtue can develop and remain healthy apart from the community of faith. ‘Outside the church there is no salvation’ is not ecclesiastical arrogance but spiritual common sense, confirmed in everyday experience."

Eugene Peterson

I don’t usually post details of this nature.

Today I had a lump removed from my left breast that was about the size of a pingpong ball. It is assumed to be benign by the doctors, so there should be nothing to worry about. I am posting, because I am incredibly grateful to have it removed. It was becoming uncomfortable, and it is just a relief that i don’t have to worry about this mysterious bump inside of me anymore.

I usually hate surgeries, but today I am very thankful that I am blessed enough to have had this done. #relieved.
