“I don’t regret meeting Jon. I knew that God put us together early. I knew he was my destiny, but sometimes as if I was a fisherman I wanted to throw back my destiny and start again”

“I had long since wished that they would have been born with a dictionary sized how-to guide in my placenta. It would have been custom printed for each child by God. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. I’d been forced to walk through the minefield of parenthood feeling like I was blindfolded and hopping on one leg. Surely my kids should understand that I was trying to know what I was doing, but the verdict still seemed out at the moment.”

“Wasn’t I allowed at least one nervous breakdown a year? Maybe next year Jon and I could pencil it into our calendar. Maybe we could post it in the church bulletin. It would read “ATTENTION: Our Dear Pastor’s wife is scheduling her annual nervous breakdown, so if you could avoid calling, texting, emailing, or whining in her direction for the next week between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., she would be most grateful.”

“Father is pleased with your progress. You humans are all the same you know. You’re always refusing just to enjoy the moment you’re in when you don’t understand things. You know just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it. Father gave you all this for a gift. Have fun a little. You are at a royal affair. Maybe you should lighten up.” Really? My life was on hold and an angel was complaining to me that I needed to kick back and relax. Did an angel just tell me to lighten up?”

“Kabla ya kukata roho mapigo ya kasi ya moyo aliyoyapata Yesu kutokana na mshtuko wa hipovolimia, pia yalisababisha maji kujikusanya katika vifuko vya maji au ute kandokando ya moyo na kandokando ya mapafu. Mkusanyiko huu wa maji kandokando ya moyo hujulikana kama ‘pericardial effusion’ na mkusanyiko wa maji kandokando ya mapafu hujulikana kama ‘pleural effusion’. Hii ndiyo maana baada ya Yesu kukata roho, na askari wa Kirumi kurusha mkuki katika ubavu wake, baada ya kutoboa mapafu na moyo, damu na maji vilitoka katika mbavu za Yesu kama Yohana alivyorekodi katika Injili yake. Mapafu ya Yesu na tumbo la Yesu vilijaa damu na maji. Mkuki ulivyotupwa maji yalitoka katika mapafu ya Yesu na katika tumbo la Yesu, na katika utando unaozunguka moyo wa Yesu, kutokana na kupasuka kwa moyo.”
