Sickness

       Everyone hates being sick. I have been sick for the past week, and it has certainly made life difficult. It started on Sunday night with a terrible fever that gave me chills one minute and had me sweating the next. It was an awful night, and I didn't go to classes Monday because of it. As the week progressed and classes dragged by, I slowly got better, but still had a nagging cough. My head hurt at time, sometimes I would have a stuffy nose, and by Saturday my voice was gone.

       However, Friday was a great day! Friday I had a really bad splitting headache, but when I drank some Gatorade and played some volleyball, I felt great! For dinner my wife and I went a place called Philly's with some friends. We had a great time and some great food. Our friends mentioned the Rave that was going on later that night. My wife and I weren't sure about going, but we said maybe we would. Later, my friend convinced me to go stating, "This is the last rave you will get to go to." I couldn't argue with that. So I went.The rave was so much fun! We danced until about 12:30 AM and had a great time. The next day was not so much fun though. I had to work from 12-7, and my voice was shot. I could barely talk with a scratchy smoker's voice. Working as a cashier at a grocery store requires a lot of talking, so that was fun. But the time passed quickly, and I survived.

        Church on Sunday was amazing! I had a big test in Microbiology on Monday to study for, but I realized that my wife and I need the support and refreshment of Sunday worship. Our pastor preached about how people know Christians by what we are against. How we are against drinking, smoking, adultery, and all these other things. He said that he is tired of Christians being known for stuff we are against, and we should strive to be known by what we are for. We as Christians are for love and joy in knowing that our Lord has set us free from the penalty of sin. We have a hope that we can share with the world, and we have a job to do that.

Well, I do believe I have caught myself up on life for this past week. Here's to another day of life that God has blessed me with!
