Be still in the presence of the Lord and wait patiently for Him to act.
Psalm 37:7

This is a verse taped to my computer monitor. I put it there two years ago. At the time I thought it was about being still. Then I thought it was because I needed to learn patience. These days I think it's more about me just learning to lean on my Higher Power.

I'm at peace even amid the chaos although there are others who think I should be stomping mad. What good would it do me to get mad? I don't have any control over the events going on around me. I can only do my part. I can acknowledge my mistakes and make amends as best I can. I can take care of my health. If that means that I can't take care of anyone else. So be it. There must be someone or some agency out there that can help my brother because I can't.
