Vorlon Whispers

June 16 Final Update

I did pretty well today, until I got home this evening. Then I stared to fade pretty quickly. With some effort, I made it out the door with the Vorlon Wife for my 1-mile walk. I panted the whole way, but made it.

Then I just rested while the Vorlon Wife cut the grass. I really hate that. Even though I’m not the most enthusiastic grass cutter, it really bugs me to sit on the sofa while she does the work.

Have I told you how grateful I am for her? As part of my prayers, I give thanks to God every day that he has given her to me.

While I’m at it, I am grateful for the Vorlon Parents. They send an email, I think every day and sometimes more that once a day. Those messages always encourage me and I don’t say thank you enough. I thank God for giving me the parents He did. We’ve had our differences as parents and children do, but those differences are just so inconsequential.

One more thank you to all those that pray for me and enter encouraging comments. There are times, when I’m feeling pretty strong. During those times, I can easily unsheathe my sword and charge the dragon.

Then there are the times when I’m just wiped. That’s when I’m on my knees, panting heavily and leaning on my sword with the point in the dirt. In those times, the encouragement I receive gets me off my knees into a standing position. I wipe my sword clean, and then I grab it with both hands, lift it and walk towards the dragon. It’s not a charge, but the dragon knows I haven’t surrendered and he knows I’m coming after him. He knows I’m weak, but he can’t be sure that this time I won’t dispatch him.

For the moment, I’m retiring from the battle. I’m pretty tired and am looking forward to bed.

Goodnight.
