Day 119 - and I've got flu.
Some call it stomach flu, of course its not really stomach flu its really gastroenteritis.
So it hit.
4am in the morning and growing.
Thought it was the broccoli I ate last night. I think its right to blame the broccoli ...it deserves it.
Hey hopefully 48 hours.
Huge weekend.
Was meant to run my first half-marathon since my forced lay off ....but tendonitis hit me two weeks ago.
Was meant to eat out tonight with two good friends ....sorry friends.
Was meant to fix sprinklers tomorrow - yep, something good is coming out of this!
But the size of this weekend was bigger than any of these things.
Penultimate weekend of the Premier League.
36 games played in the league and there is a 1 point difference!
Chelsea lead Manchester Utd.
Chelsea play at Liverpool; Man U play Sunderland at home.
Need Chelsea to slip up and Man U to win.
Huge weekend.
Is my gastroenteritis symptomatic of what this weekend is going to be like?
But hey, hopefully 48 hours will see the world sorted!
At least my world.
I know there's a bigger world. But sometimes we live in shrunken worlds - our own.
I know that gastroenteritis isn't that major.
I know Premier League results isn't world peace.
But sometimes we allow our world to shrink to the things that only bother us.
Doing this series Consumed:What's Sucking the Life Out of You?
Really a series about the idols we bow down to.
Was just thinking today that one of those idols is bowing down to our own little worlds.
Weird.
Here I am thinking about preaching on the very things I'm doing as of Friday evening!
Is my sickness really my gastroenteritis or is my sickness deeper.
But its 9:10pm and I need to sleep.
Ponderings, musings, thoughts......blame my sickness.
I guess the question is what sickness?

Ive been so challenged and inspired this week to be intentional about sacrifice and my idols. It's amazing how obvious and ugly an idol is when you start to take a good look at it and attempt to kill it off. I'm realizing that I don't trust God to meet my needs. I know, intellectually, that that's a lie but can't seem to get it to travel down to my heart. I'm thinking it takes blind sacrifice and a period of desolation before consolation takes place.
