The Eighth Sermon to the Dead

Today, I was told that Fr.  +Donald Donato  has a phrase he likes. "It's not easy being meat." No, it is not. Today, my meat gave out. I spent the weekend doing wonderful occult things which I cannot discuss, taking in horse shows, and celebrating the Eucharist. I drove 311 miles and had a bit of sleep and a bit of fellowship and a lot of food I don't usually eat. Today, my stomach was all inflamed and I was nauseous, and I had to go home early. I still don't feel good. So, the post today is light, and I still owe one from Saturday. My spirit is strong and feeling well, but my meat is tired. Good night, see you in the morning.

"The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
