“For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.”
~Ephesians 5:8~

All I did was try to stand up from the place where I’ve been sitting for most of the day. With that I’m pretty sure I threw out my back again. It doesn’t seem to be as bad as the last time, but whatever I did, I’m in bed now, with my pajamas on and computer and articles close. Last time this happened I had to type a book report in bed for my Stone-Campbell Movement class. The whole thing was a little ridiculous but we made it.

I was dancing earlier. Between that and the sitting something probably got loosened up and weakened so that the right twist or bend would be the thing to make it happen. My chiropractor says that people only throw out their backs when they’re emotionally stressed. How many times a day do you bend down and take something out of the pantry, he asked. I did feel stressed then but I had not been feeling stressed now.

He’s good but I didn’t always agree with his philosophies. I do need to finish these papers this weekend so that is important. When I get like this I want to act kind of silly and don’t like being serious. And then I’ll think, “Hmmm, really? Maybe don’t say that. There are so many serious things going on in the world…” I’m not dismissing serious things. It’s okay to be silly at times. But it’s not always a bad thing to second-guess.
