Pain and Suffering

Full day.  Finished my final paper for my summer class and had two meetings this afternoon and evening.

I'm beat.

Although I felt good today, I certainly can tell that I require more sleep.  I need to make time to get to the gym tomorrow to help with my energy level.  But right now, I'm just ready to hit the pillow.

I was invited today to participate in a showing of and conversation about "Nefarious" with a bunch of college kids later this month.  Although I am excited about the opportunity, I dread the emotions that I will feel during and after the documentary film.

Hunger is a very real issue that involves pain and suffering, but so is human trafficking.  It's a very different kind of pain and suffering for sure. This world is so full of hurt.  Unbearable hurt.

I'll share more about this with you after the viewing.  Take a minute to check out the website and be aware that this is not just someone else's problem, it's happening right here in Kansas.

Gloomy stuff...sorry.  I think I can find the energy to take the time to go hug my kids before bed.

I need it.
