And I Cried...

Yesterday at lunch, Matt told us one of his stories about working on the internal medicine ward at a hospital. He said that one of the patients, a little old man, had been in a coma for a while, opened his eyes while Matt was sitting with him, let out a big sigh, closed his eyes and then passed. As Matt was getting toward the end of his story, I could sense what was coming and said, "Matt, you're gonna make me cry." And by the time he finished I was bawling my eyes out! One of my supervisors sitting across from me just kind of looked at me with a "what just happened?" expression... so I simply sobbed out "hormones." Yep, just one more thing for me to cry over. And it happens so easily now. I suggested to Matt that he should probably choose his stories a little more carefully over the next few months as I now cry at the drop of a hat! (Of course, that story gets me every time... just never quite as quickly before.)

Great night at the Hospitality House tonight! Praise and worship songs were awesome! Teared up a little while singing. Bible study/video on point. Good message about communication in marriage (which can also be applied to relationships in general): The human tongue can be a dangerous weapon and thus one should be mindful of what one says and how he says it to another.
