• When The Sneezes Came

    by  •  • LifeStuff • 1 Comment

    Tonight I am nursing a mildly sore throat and a runny nose after a day of sneezing here and there.

    I was fine when I got up, but early on I sneezed once. And then once I got to work, early in the day, I sneezed three times in rapid succession. And not more than 40 minutes later it happened again- a cluster of sneezes. And those continued to happen, a set of sneezes every hour.

    It was clearly something malevolent was going on inside my body.

    I started working on immune system vitamin C fizzes and zinc lozenges after I got home from work, and even got a bottle of orange juice from the nearby market which I started swigging from this afternoon, but I think I was a little late.

    I continued to sneeze on into this evening.

    Colds happen.

    The weather changes, we do not get enough rest, some tiny microbe lives on a handrail or water fountain or door handle rides our hand to our nose or mouth.

    And there we are.

    Sneezing, sniffling, the tingly throat, irritated eyes.

    I think winter is near.

    So, we go to bed.

    About

    A web programmer by day, I somehow still spend a lot of time thinking about relationships, God, and the significance of grace and love in daily events. I am old school in the sense that I believe in the reality of sin, and in the need of each human heart for deliverance to the Divine. I am one of those who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that you can find most answers to life's pressing issues in Him and His Word, the Bible. I ain't perfect, and a lot of the time I ain't good, but by God's grace and kindness, I am forgiven and free.
