Too Distracted to Post - Shelli (March Newsletter)

I've been checking about every half hour since after lunch for my second midterm scores on my stats test. I've got half the grade, but not the one that matters. I was really hoping it would be posted today. It's kept my mind in the fog, because I am really anxious to prove to myself that I can do well in this class. If I failed this test (I don't think that I did... then I will be pretty distressed.)

Nothing is new for me. I am still just working and trying to finish stats. I bought a ticket to Florida. I tried to convince my sister to bring her baby and meet me down there, but to no avail. Sad.

I went ice skating for the first time in years and ended up hobbling away with shattered (ok, bruised) knees. Both of them. Grandma can attest to how ugly they are. I can't wait until the bruise turns sort of greenish/yellow because then it will be spring colors!

My thought comes from one of my favorite hymns. I was singing it to myself on the way home from Grandma's yesterday and it made me cry. Which... is actually saying a lot because I think my heart has become hardened in my old(er) age. I haven't been nearly as emotional (dramatic, eccentric, impulsive, absolutely crazy - YES... emotional, not so much) as I used to be. I mean, I used to watch A Baby's Story or for heaven's sake, Full House and cry. And now, I can't bring myself to shed a tear.

Until yesterday, when I was really thinking about the words of I Believe in Christ.

I believe in Christ; my Lord, my God!
My feet he plants on gospel sod.
I'll worship him with all my might;
He is the source of truth and light.

I believe in Christ; he ransoms me.
From Satan's grasp he set me free,
And I shall live with joy and love
In his eternal courts above.




I believe in Christ; he stands supreme!
From him I'll gain my fondest dream;
And while I strive through grief and pain,
His voice is heard: "Ye shall obtain."
I believe in Christ; so come what may,
With him I'll stand at that great day
When on this earth he comes again
To rule among the sons of men.
