Prayers, Guidance and Guilt.

As many of you know, Brian's mother, Linda, My God-mother, had emergency back surgery last friday on August 10th. (Prayer part) She was unable to do very simple things after the surgery (hello, they cut into her spinal cord!), but Brian and I were there to help, as were some of Linda's friends. She is recovering and was doing a lot better when we left Friday night (8.17.07). Our flight was delayed, and we got home about an hour and half later than I expected/hoped. Linda keeps thanking me, and I just think everytime, you would have done the same for me. She's been really amazing, and been there through some stuff, and trust me, shes an amazing lady. (thats the guidance part.)

As for the (guilt part), I haven't been to church in almost a month. Between being exhausted from work and not even able to stay awake on the ride home, from emergency back surgery, I haven't been to confession or church in a month. It comes to that point when you realize a few things...like they say, the longer you are away, the more you can justify it and not go again, or the more you realize that you are taking the wrong steps and need to get back to it.

I'm on the latter side of that. I really can't wait to go back to church tomorrow, and go to confession. Thank the LORD He gave us that sacrement, and all His love and graces. Right now, I am sure I will have a pretty heavy penance, or perhaps, I have made it worse than it seems....

Anyway, back to work :) This 10 minute break was fun, I'll do it more often...*smiles*
