The Cure for Sucker Punches

I saw The Blind Side tonight.

I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. It's predictable, and schmaltzy, and all those other things that make movies get bad reviews. But, I don't care.

It's based on a true story, which makes it all the better. There are caring people in this world. Loving others really can make a difference. To whom much is given, much is required, and these folks have lived that out.

I'm going again this week, and I'm quite sure it will make Lisa's 2010 Christmas List.

Sucker Punches

I got one this morning. I'll never get used to that feeling of being blind-sided. Of course, if we all started getting used to being sucker punched and blind-sided, they'd have to change the name of said activities to something like: "Brace Yourself Here it Comes Punches" or getting "Sight Sided." I don't think they'd feel much less painful if we saw them coming, though.

So, I need to trust God for why the event of this morning happened. Even if He never tells me why it happened, I still need to trust Him, and look to Him for help and strength and maturity and forgiveness and understanding and all those other good godly character traits and virtues that I don't seem to have any of right now. At the end of the day, I answer to Him for my behavior alone, and I even need to trust Him with that.

Right now, I don't feel very trusting, or peaceful, or mature about any of this.

I just feel beaten up.

Hmmmm.

John Mayer's got a new record out. I bought it last night and have listened to it a couple of times now.

Hmmm.

Maybe there will be more to say in a few days.

Hungover

I'm blogging from bed. I always have a hangover after a migraine. Or, maybe it's still a migraine. Who knows. The squiggly lines and the pounding pain are gone, but I'm still nauseous and shaky. So, it's retro tv watching with sprinklings of facebook visits for me today.

and naps.
