Back up

I am back. On the one hand, I've been gone all day today. I went to a talk by Eddie Gibbs on the emerging church (he wrote the book 'emerging churches'). I didn't sign up for it until late last week, and then I didn't think I was going to be able to attend because of my back. But it felt a little better today and I was able to sit somewhat pain free.

I've had this danged lower back pain for a couple of weeks. What with mowing the yard, driving long distances, carrying boxes, moving furniture and whatnot... it caught up with me. I didn't go to the doctor because I knew he would just say, "You know, you're not as young as you used to be." Yeah... no kidding. So the last couple days have been pretty miserable. Sitting in a chair actually hurt worse than anything. And guess what I do the most? But I haven't lifted anything since we moved our bedroom furniture out on Tuesday and cleaned the carpet in there. We put the mattress in the middle of the living room and slept there the past two nights. Partly because I didn't think I could help move it back, and partly... just because we COULD sleep on the living room floor. Bogie thought it was kinda neat.

I'm a little sore right now. Just got home from sitting in a plastic chair from 9 am to 3:30 pm. But it feels much better than it has the last couple days. I will likely blog about the seminar eventually.

peace.
