Psalm 22

I just got back from the E.R. Basically, all they can do is get me admitted to a crisis center in either Willmar or Sioux Falls. I’ll sleep tonight only because my body is so beat-up from crying and stress. I look like a frickng raccoon because my eyes are so red and I have dark circles under them.

Pray for me.

Prayer Needed

Jon has a meeting tonight with the councils of both churches, the synod, and a local pastor. This isn’t a happy meeting. Pray hard for a good outcome.

Jon has to testify in a trial tomorrow where he knows that the outcome will cause people to leave the church. Pray hard for his sanity.

I’m trying to be a supportive wife even though everyone is taking their frustrations out on me. Pray for me too.

Lack of Insights

I haven’t been writing much about where I am with my faith lately because I’ve been giving most of the energy of that part of myself to a paper journal. I’m starting a Bible study book on Isaiah that I had photocopied some studies from for the adult Sunday School class at Church #2. I did the first two studies on my own at Urbana 2000 and slacked off when I returned to school, so I’m hoping to get through everything this time.

Church stuff also hasn’t given me much spiritual insight lately because my mental energy has been taken up by all the junk that’s happening with a small group of people. It’s not my battle but it’s affecting me nevertheless. Prayers for that situation are coveted…
