I guess that it's a lot like getting on a bike and just keep going - right? Even when you are down and out and wishing that you could just forget about things - you keep going on.

It's not like you can just quit. You can't. You have to keep going and doing.

I know that I'm not making any sense right now - but I'm wondering if I need to make sense. Anything can be like that - right? Riding a bike - getting back in the saddle and trying again. It has to be. Grit your teeth and bare it.

Today's scripture:
Mark 8:31
And he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

Why someone would do that for me - suffer for me is beyond my comprehension. I know that with the pain that I have been through the past couple of years that I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. And here is the Son of Man taking on all kinds of things to help *me*. That people would reject him and persecute him and then after rise again - showing how merciful and gracious he is. Amazing.

I can't help but wonder about how the rest of the school year is going to play out. I just hope that it zings past and that things will be smooth. I really need that right now - a smoothness to the rest of the year. I'm tired of all the topsy - turvy stuff that is going on.
