It's an overcast morning, hinting of rain with a breezy blast of salty air from the ocean.
Sitting on the Beloved Back Deck with Winston, The Little Gay Dog, who desperately wants me to let him inside so he can snuggle with the sleeping Sarah ... the chorus of frogs are deafening ... harmoniously so.
I've got lots to do but I'm not doing any of it.
It's been a crazy week ... the exhausting kind ... and I'm determine Sarah sleeps as long as she damn well pleases ... which is why Winston, TLGD, sits in exile with me.
Plus the frogs have obviously put a lot of practice into this performance.
I'm not overthinking things but sit here appreciating the moment ... and the choir's performance.
"Stress makes you believe everything has to happen right now," is something our friend Chuck Courtenay posted on Facebook, "Faith reassures you that everything will happen in God's time."
I'm not one of those who believe that God sits in the sky pulling strings to make things happen according to some plan but ... I believe Chuck's quote is right.
Sarah and I have been struggling with God's timing.
We get the stress part ... things need to be happening now! ... and we know what they are ... how can God not know what they are and when they need to happen?
But they're not.
So what do you do?
We have faith things are going to happen ... we just wish it was now.
But it's not.
This choir of frogs have me wondering if God's trying to me something.
Why else would they be bursting in song this morning as I sit here pondering things, protecting my wife and trying to figure out Divine Plans that obviously conflict with ours?
Oh well ... what do you do?
I let Winston, TLGD, inside and he darts to snuggle with the sleeping Sarah while I tiptoe back to the choir of frogs.
I wish I spoke frog.
I'm pretty sure they're telling me something.
I hope it's ... when.
