Opus 2026-058: Another Tragedy

The world fell apart again this morning, at least briefly.

I woke up in the dark and decided it was time to get on with my day.  I sat up, picked up my glasses, and as I started to put them on, they fell apart.  It was a moment of crisis.  If you wear glasses you may have experienced the insecurity that comes when you can’t find them.  How does a person who cannot see find his glasses?  What do you do when you have them deconstruct in your hands?

I got over it.  I moved on.  Things came back into focus.

It is so easy to lose our perspective on things.  I had an echocardiogram recently and this week I will see my cardiologist to find out the results.  He has not called me yet so I guess I have a few days to live, but what will he tell me when I go to my appointment?  Will it be, “We could not find anything,” or will it be, “You have six months to live.”  That could be a real crisis.

There are so many things that could go wrong but won’t.  Since I know that God is in charge there are also many things that I don’t bother worrying about.  He has my back, as they say.  It doesn’t mean I won’t face a real tragedy, but it means that it will not really be a tragedy.  It is a great way to live.
