The boredom of vagrancy…
I realize that the title I used is a bit dramatic…but I truly have gotten tired of not having a home to come to at the end of my days.
All is still on hold as far as getting my tiny apartment back following my having to move myself out of it after the discovery of a veritable boatload of mold. Because of rules tying the hands of my landlord, I don’t know when I’ll be able to move back in yet.
So in the meantime, I have to stay at the house of the friend of a friend…and use his computer to type this blog and my monthly articles, not to mention to correspond with my many online friends. By no means am I complaining about that, though…I am very grateful to God that I have a place to go! Not everyone is as blessed as I when it comes to situations like this. If you don’t believe me, just ask any random resident of New Orleans..
But I’m learning more than I ever imagined I would that a mere house is not a home…that a home is so much more. And as shabby as my little hovel was, it was my refuge from the chaos of the rest of the world. But now, my time to myself(and thus with God)is a bit more limited.
Nonetheless, I am not discouraged…life is a series of phenomena and stages, and this is just one more stage…and much like the man with kidney stones, I affirm, “This too shall pass.”
I’m so glad I have so much down time at work on weekends…I’m using it right now to get the refreshment I need(and we ALL need it now and then).
I got my first official formal recognition of my birthday today in an e-mail from my dear friend Nicole in Glendale…a nice bunch of e-balloons. Moments like these make me more thankful than almost anyone for the great friends and loved ones I have…who value me no matter where I live or how rich I am or what I do. Thank you, Lord.
I’ll be back on my birthday(Tuesday)to post anew…in the meantime, to each of you reading this, may the good Lord take a real lovin’ to ya!
