Does life ever calm its wee self down?

I know I haven't blogged for a very long time; I don't try to be crappy at this, it just comes naturally...

This week I have a Doctors appointment 4 out of 5 days, rar... I am not a sick person; it's all Dental work and, it's all my fault... The last Sunday we had the students at Vailsberg I noticed that I had chipped a tooth, and stupidly I thought, it'll be fine, I'll sort it when life gets quiet. So, a week and a half passes, it's Thursday night and I'm chewing a piece of gum when I notice that there are hard paticles in my gum; it's more of my tooth! (True to form, I have to ask myself; what could this mean? Is there a lesson in this for me? ...)

So I head to the Dentist on Friday, and they look at the guilty tooth, take a million and 6 x-rays of my mouth and then tell me that I need a lot of work done... (Hmmm... I am suspicious by nature, do all dentists just want to know the work that has been done in your mouth has been done by their precious hands? Is that arrogant? Are there that many quacks out there?) So, they come back from the x-ray dark room and tell me that I need a temporary crown; it took all that is in my to stifle my laughter.

1 Peter 5
To Elders and Young Men
1To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ's sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed: 2Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; 3not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.


So, I'll have a temporary Crown, lol... Which makes me ask myself; am I not talking hold of my inheritance? (Am I being paranoid thinking that? Or was He just trying to encourage me? ) He amuses me, encourages me and most of all loves me, reminds me of my inheritance; of who I am in Him.

Beloved, are you taking hold of your inheritance? Who are you in Him?

Don't feel bad. I'm pretty crappy with this whole blogging thing too!

Good luck with all of the dental work. Just think of how much better your mouth will feel when all of the work is finally done.

Hope everything else is going well. Miss you bunches!
