Goodness.  You guys have given me so much material to read and to listen to and to watch.  I’m really thankful for all of you readers.

That’s not just something nice to type.  For real.  (Or “for realz” with a “z” if that makes it more convincing.  It doesn’t.  I know it doesn’t.)

I didn’t ask all of those questions about divorce and remarriage because I wanted to hurt anyone’s feelings.  And I didn’t ask because I want to get remarried.  I asked because I want to understand.  

I love that there were different views and different thoughts and different stories and yet – AND YET – there was this common thread.  Yes, a thread of grace and a thread of agreeing that only God knows the heart – but also this lovely real thread of kindness.  You guys – we see so much junk on our Facebook feeds and so much straight up nastiness in the way people comment back and forth to one another and there was none of that.

So — thank you.

It really truly is possible to disagree, to agree, to not have a stinkin’ clue and to still be kind to one another.  (I’ll need to remind myself of this truth more often when I forget it in my own dealings with real life humans.  Because I do forget this sometimes.)

I have a lot to process.  I obviously never expected to settle all this within my soul on a single Monday.

And I don’t feel the need to settle all this in my soul in a single day.

And you don’t have to either.  (Not that you did.)

I have more blog posts to hit “publish” on but they all felt a little like whiplash after a heavy post like yesterday’s.

So they can wait until tomorrow.  Just like the laundry I meant to fold and the granola I meant to bake.

I rearranged furniture today.  It’s what I do sometimes when I cannot rearrange my life outside these walls.  It’s hard to believe how many different ways you can configure furniture in one living room.  But there’s a lot of options out there guys.  My TV is balancing on an old steamer trunk and I’m pretty certain that’s not the height of safety but I sold my TV stand before I sold my TV and then the kids got wind of the idea I thought of to sell our TV and they unanimously agreed it was a poor idea to sell our TV and although our home is a far cry from a democracy it’s not entirely a dictatorship either so the TV remains despite the fact that it’s leaning against the wall in our living room.

 

 

In other random late night news, my brother started a YouTube channel that has at least two people in my home elated.  One clue – the boys are the elated ones.  I think I’ll wait till Five Finds Friday to share the channel.  (Was that a teaser for a Friday post?)

 

 

Also, only one family member watched the SuperBowl.  Well, unless you count Riley and her family, and they do count, obviously, but I was particularly implying only one living at home family member watched the Super Bowl.  Also.  Maddox is having a sleepover tonight and I’m pretty sure he likes it here.

 

 

And now everyone that lives in my home should be asleep – including me.

Good night!

 

 

P.S. — Just one more time ….. you readers are genuinely kind and good to me, and that never goes unnoticed.  Thank you.
