Silent Movie

That's kind of what it feels like---a surreal, silent movie. Or maybe the actors nightmare--I'm the lead and I can't remember my lines. Or in this case, I can't speak them. Welcome toLaryngitis Day # 4.

Grateful today for the sunshine--both the kind overhead that allows me to not get wet or chilled--and our church angel, Sunshine who came over for the second time this week to give Sammy his morning walk.

I did go into the office for a few hours so I could handle the mail and sign checks, etc. John Kurko has been holding down the proverbial fort for us this week. whew. Then, I went to Kaiser to see the doctor. Yep, I knew that this 'crud' was hanging on way too long and I needed medical intervention. No details because after all, this is the WWW. Suffice to say, I have been charged with complete vocal rest and other stuff. In addition to wanting this too, to pass, I know I need to pay attention and ensure that I am clear, healhty and strong for Easter next week. (Easter is next week?????) So I am going to follow doctors orders--her treatment plan and God's. By the way, thank you everyone who has been sending prayers and blasts of light and love. I so appreciate that. And I am sure it got me through last Sunday and allowed me to to not have this worse than it is.

Those of you who have been waiting to talk to me or see me, sorry. I am now doing everything I can to be back on track and vibrant by next week. So I can teach class on Tuesday, go into the office, have appts. and share the glory of Easter with y'all.
I will do my best to get in touch with everyone next week and schedule time together. Remember, that if anything comes up that you need immediate support, please contact one of the practitioners, or our Mnistry of Prayer phone line, 619-497-2250.

This is a unique experience. Today, I had a chance to listen to my Sunday talk from last week. Interesting. I think I needed to listen to what Spirit was expressing through me. ( Brother Lawrence's prayer was right on about Spirit moving through me with what needed to be said.) So I noticed that I have had all this time "off" or away from most of the daily work grind and I jusged that I wasn't using the time well. I started to listen to the "inner voice" and then the Committee took over. It became voices of the "shoulds"; voices about what I needed to; should do; the critical voice that was angry that I wasn't feeling better yet; and why does a Religious Scientist Minister have to take so long to heal or "lost her voice" in the first place??? The louder those voices got, the more I couldn't hear the still small voice that was beginning to reveal why I was silent in the first place. Gee, is it any wonder, I still have laryngitis and need to be home resting??? Geesh.

My prayers have shifted now from being/feeling healhty, whole and complete yada yada to revealing to me that which I need to know or understand from all this. My prayer is to release my own impatience and judgment about getting sick in the first place. That change will support and heal my thoughts and enable the medications to do their physical healing in conjunction with consciousness.

"There's a kind of hush...."

Goodnight
