New to the journey and thank you.

[Kylo]

We both went to church today (I don't make it that much anymore and when I do, she often stays home) since it was the Sunday that the 3rd graders get their Bibles. We drove separately since she was meeting her bro afterwards (and because she is usually late).

The sermon was seemingly written for me. It was about courage. She used the analogy of learning to swim as a child. When we go to the deep end, it is scary, but what we learned in the shallow end, works in the deep end. We're in the shallow end when everything goes well. When things go poorly, we are thrown in the deep end; but God is with us. What we learned in the shallow end will see us through. I think the wife may have reacted, who knows. She never has paid much attention, and didn't discuss Theology much with me. I think I got her to put her toe in, but since it was an area I studied and was interested in, she had to not be interested in it.

Since I've been a kid up until a year or two ago, I would always hear the preacher talk about praying for our pain and suffering. I would always think in my head "Not me. Is everyone always in such pain?" I guess it is my turn now, or I should say all our turns.
