intermission
Allow me to tell you the story of a fantastic musical event which took place only a few nights ago. A great team of willing volunteers came together to put on an event which surpassed all expectations. The night drew to a close and all was well. But a blackness crept into the room and lingered, seeking to devour a poor victim.
Okay, enough melodrama. The blackness was actually black shade cloth, which was lying on the ground waiting to be folded up. And of course, I was the one who managed to slip on it and fall very hard on my left arm.
It broke.
So now I am sitting at home, unable to play piano, type with both hands, drive myself anywhere or even stretch my left arm.
This is an unusual kind of life for me. I am so used to being able to do whatever I want in my own capacity, but now I am curtailed. In truth, it is quite frustrating – everything that I would choose to do to relax or unwind or relieve stress seems to require the use of my left hand. My entire life has had to be rescheduled, and not without some pain.
This is a six-week intermission.

Yeh Wednesday night was an AWESOME night of prayer and worship!! however as you pointed out in ur blog the blackness… could when looking at it from a different point of view could be a spiritual attack. think about it… the night was awesome and we all faught hard for the kingdom… Mr BBD (Big Bad Devil) wasn`t to happy so he figured he`d try take a player out of the game. which, unfortunately has been done with reasonable accuracy. Now that you can`t play, type, or drive (which all of the above can be used for God one way or another…) you find yourself in a different mood… not a negative mood but just a disgruntled one. Being in this mood can do well to suppress the heart of worship, the creative edge you`re always growing and utilising for God. I know all about this mood… Its my life… which i always struggle with, but need to continue to give to God. As do you. Though it would seem that ur broken arm is an accident… The enemy is not seeing as such. He`ll be trying to use it against you. On the other hand god could also be utilising this time to refresh you.
peace

Oouchh.
My brother broke his foot playing soccer with Sunday School kids. He’s had to have 10 weeks off work because it’s not healing, so I hope that’s not the same with you.
Are you bored yet?
