I'm a 45 yo ER nurse in rural hospital; also love words and your post about languages and recognizing common threads really resonates with me. I have been raised protestant (Wesleyan Holiness)all my life. The last couple of years I have felt a strong pull towards the Catholic faith. I'll add your blog to my bloglines feed.slimsdotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13851592041787358791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645095546732836042.post-1926992334949009202010-07-26T15:36:16.534-07:002010-07-26T15:36:16.534-07:00You are totally, completely and absolutely right D...You are totally, completely and absolutely right Do Not Be Anxious. My second paragraph is really equal parts hyperbole and truth--I ought to view this as a gift, but I'm still embarrassed. I'll get the right perspective on it one of these days, another gift. Sometimes, I think, I need the grace to accept the grace.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03271388607886738576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645095546732836042.post-8911790891283502202010-07-26T07:23:18.161-07:002010-07-26T07:23:18.161-07:00I hate your second paragraph, BHG.

I've gotten used to my tears, and I don't care who sees them.<br /><br />We share some things in common: I have a physics degree, my father never took an aspirin in his life and I have a very high tolerance of pain, and I see Steve Ray cry at his talks -- and in my church, he is a fellow-parishioner. Perhaps, as you say, our background sets us up for showing us the import of these tears, but perhaps they are there just to humble us. But HATE them, no BHG, I could not hate these gifts. I treasure every gift from God, and perhaps these more than others. They are tears of love. Just as your father cried at your wedding, these are also tears of His love.Do Not Be Anxioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607616214486933423noreply@blogger.com
