Over the past few days, I rediscovered the fact that there are two levels of life. There’s the level that we find ourselves in most often on a day to day basis – the job, school, bills – the constantly recurring stream of things we call responsibilities. Then there’s the really important stuff that you don’t often think about until a crisis strikes. Faith in God. Love for the family. The pain of loss and hope for the future.Sure, I knew this about the important stuff, but it often gets drowned out in the mundane noise of the everyday. My wife and I have returned to Illinois following the passing of my father to take care of some of that mundane stuff. Then we will return to our family in Michigan to get down to some really important stuff.
I may be lax in posting over the next few days, but things like that happen when you’re taking care of really important stuff.
Thanks for the kind words of sympathy. I appreciate them very much.
