Reprieve


You won't believe this but my procedure (colonoscopy) was cancelled. Shortly after I wrote my last post, the doctor called me and said that he would have to reschedule me for this coming Monday. The reason for this is because they feel it would be better if this procedure is performed in a hospital, rather than an out-patient clinic.

After getting this news, you know what I did, right? I went to a place here in Philly called "Big Daddy's Southern Cuisine" (i.e. soul food) and ordered some smothered turkey wings, collard greens, and potato salad, and a big glass of Lemonade! It took me little or no time to polish all of that off and I was still wiping the gravy off my lips when I spotted a nice delectable slice of sweet potato pie... but, I didn't get it. I wasn't about to press my luck... after all, gluttony is a sin. So, I got in the car, came home, and began preparing dinner... a jambalaya casserole. While that was in the oven, it gave me an idea for a short story, "Mabel Mixes It Up", which I wrote and placed on my other blog, "Escapades".

I spent the next half hour on EB the Celeb's blog, listening to cool music... a nice ending to my day. I still got a little gravy on my cheek!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: My heart is heavy with my own failures. I try to excuse them and explain to myself why they occurred, because I want to be free from the feeling that I am unworthy and incapable of being all that I can be. But I find it easier to accept your forgiveness than to forgive myself. When I try to forgive myself, it seems I only remember and re-play my failures in my mind, and a sense of hopelessness floods over me. Help me to know that my past actions are a part of my growing humanity and that even when I fail to live up to what is your will for me, every single moment can be lived anew. Remind me that refusing to forgive myself only keeps me from experiencing that newness. Assure me of the truth that by casting “my sins into the depth of the sea”, you have freed me to discard them myself and live the next moment as if it were my first, for indeed it is. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
