I was in the funeral director’s office discussing the specifics of my father’s funeral when they kicked off.

They increased in their intensity and totality.  I think that I have pulled every muscle in my body except the calves in both legs.  Which, is a puzzle.  I have no clue why my calves stayed out of it.  My wife rubbed me on the back earlier.  Every muscle in my back is pulled.

I was crying and wiped the tears from my eyes.  I thought my eyes hurt to close the lids.  When I wiped my tears, I found out why.  The orbital muscles above my eyes are pulled.  I pulled the muscles that move my eyes.  I didn’t think that was possible.

I will spare you the rest.  The pain is incredible. I can’t even assign it a number.  I am slightly mobile, thanks to a wonderful walker.

Christ was with me through the event, as he always is.  But, I felt his warmth.  It was nice. I think he stands with me during these events.

I will rest and repair my body today.  My ability to attend my father’s funeral is in question.  However, my youngest daughter has volunteered to do my reading if I can’t.

In Christ,
