I Don’t Get Sick

I don’t get sick. That’s why it’s such a surprise that I have been on my back almost the entire week. I literally don’t think I did a single work-related activity this entire week. It’s pathetic (and a bit scary because I am self-employed and my ability to pay the bills is directly tied to my ability to work!)

Actually, I lied. This morning I did a work-related activity. Yesterday a very important client called and asked to meet with me at 9 AM this morning. Though I didn’t sleep at all last night, and was so dizzy I could barely walk, I didn’t think I could cancel this meeting because I had no way of letting them know I wouldn’t be able to make it. So I went to the meeting and sat there, alternatingly sweating and shivering. I really remember almost nothing about what we discussed except that they want a whole new site by March 28 (I think). I hope I didn’t make too big a fool out of myself.

Anyways, all of this is to say, first, I apologize that the content of this site has been a little lacking over the past week. At least now you know why. And second, if you could be so kind, I would appreciate your prayers. I have deadlines looming and clients who will soon be getting upset with me.

    Why Not Use a Daily Liturgy for Your Devotions?

    Trends come and go. Certain habits or interests rise for a time, wane, then rise again, often at unexpected moments. One of the recent trends I have found particularly surprising and also particularly interesting is the rise (or re-rise, if you prefer) of liturgy. This may be liturgy within formal worship services of the local…
