Having been away and come back shattered, I have now landed myself some sort of horible virus and am good for nothing. So, apologies for the curt message today, I’ll get back on it when I’m functional again.

I am not one of those who feels the need to spiritualise my illnesses. I am ill, it isn’t great and given it isn’t what God originally designed, I’m not convinced he’s thrilled about it for me either. The end.

At the same time, we all know God works all things for the good of those that love him. He will inevitably be working some good out for me in it. But I have no idea what that is and, right now, I feel rotten. I’m unlikely to know what that good he’s working is until later down the line.

So, I’m sick. I’m not up to writing much. And maybe that is the good the Lord is working through this illness for the rest of you that love him.
