Just a place for my thoughts

Just a quickie

Hi all. Sorry I haven't written much lately but it seems I am having trouble adjusting to my normal schedule after an entire week (almost) of slovenly self indulgence. To add to the distractions, I woke up to a basement full of water this morning. Oh happy day.

However, just when I think things are pretty shitty, I have to think of my friend Carl. I wrote about him in a previous post; he lost all of his belongings in a hurricane this summer, and is staying in a house that the architects and my father restored for him.

He got a call this weekend, and learned that his best friend had been killed in a motorcycle accident. Carl's friend was riding in the forest in Arkansas. A deer charged out of the thicket and knocked him from his motorcycle. When he hit the ground, his neck snapped, killing him instantly.

My troubles are nothing compared to Carl's.

Pray for my friend. He needs it.

    I had quite a few (4) deaths around me at Thanksgiving time... I prayed for God to give the surviving family members comfort and strength to deal with their loss. I realize compared to them I have it made, no matter what has been going on in my life lately.
