by C.S. Lewis is one of the books that I am reading right now. Am reading again and am glad that I am because I find that I missed a great deal of what he was saying the first time around. It’s as I say, my brain has gone somewhere.. I laugh here as I write because after completing the book — I think it was Monday, I looked at the book and realized that with a few exceptions I didn’t remember what I’d read. I know it is a great book because the first chapter had me spellbound — he said the exact same things that I have and his feelings about some things are just like mine are or were.
He says out loud some of the same things that I’ve thought about God — I like the way he bares his soul as he faces the same questions that I am sure more than just he and I have had.
So, I decided to read it again and this time I think my brain is not so blank or full or whatever it is that causes problems!
I went to bed already tonight but just could not get to sleep. So here I am again. Decided that I was not going to lay there with my mind going and going and my brain refusing to shut down.
I took the Chrysler back in to get the one headlamp rechecked and replaced. Just before Raul and I went to California we had that one headlamp replaced and when we got back from California it was no longer ‘lighting the way’ for us in the dark… We were going to take it back in way back but then Rudy was not well and then the hospital and then everything else and today I finally got my self to take the car in. I didn’t have to wait very long there at Peterson Stampede Dodge, Chrysler Jeep (I can hear the jingle as I type) very long at all. Had a hot cup of tea as I waited, read my book and listened to some music via my new iPod — compliments of my brother in-law Eleno and his son Troy.
I was headed back home when it hit me that nobody would be waiting for me back home. So, I got on the freeway there and drove over to the new stores a few exits over through Nampa. As I was walking around looking at some of the clothes there I was thinking that I would rather be on a timer than be there free with my time and having no one at home waiting or expecting me home soon.
All in all the day has been good. The weather was beautiful today — a little cool and oh so sunny. If I could just get my body to realize that it should be sleeping. dang.
Oh, I was reading today about King David’s frustration at the length and depth of his grieving. He had some pretty strong prayers. He, too, bares his soul.
