“The night racks my bones, and the pain that gnaws me takes no rest.” Job 30 ESV
I pretty much live with pain. Many people do. I am not speaking of emotional pain, though I've had my share of that. As long as I can remember I seem to go from one pain to another. If my back is not hurting, I am always recovering from some injury or a tooth is hurting or I have some unexplained pain somewhere. I have played hard and now age is playing hard on me. I am not happy with my response to all this. I talk about my pains way too much. I am writing about them now. What is there to do but stir my pains into all the other ingredients in this stew we call life. I do, after all, enjoy sweet and sour dishes, just don't put to much sour in the mix sweet Lord. “Pain is inevitable suffering is optional.” 1/11/2011 Conversations Within ts (Madison, MS)
