Beat Up

Ever have one of the days where you feel like at every turn you're getting a little more beat-up? Today's one of those days (it started well). Actually, I've just felt attacked the last week or so. Everything seems to bother me. Everything is hurting my feelings (but I'm a tough guy, so I stuff it deep inside instead of expressing myself). STUFF seems to be flying at me that normally I would just swat away but because I feel blue, it sticks... Just ended up with my head on my desk praying (literally!) Here's the real deal. Next week I'm speaking about spiritual warfare at New Community, and I told a friend that I feel like I'm in over my head with this talk -- and I think our Enemy loves to take our weaknesses, our insecurities, and our trepidation and dance over it like an evil leprecaun! (I have no idea where what simile came from!) Going to a funeral tonight...I need to get my head on straight.
