Matters of Faith

I was planning on posting a nice follow-up to yesterday’s “Where have all the true artists gone?”, but I’ve been feeling awful today.  My head has hurt, my body ached and I have felt as though I was swimming through molasses since 8 o’clock this morning.  I was certain that I was coming down with something, perhaps a cold, the flu or maybe something worse.  So after lunch, I tucked all the kids into bed for a nap and headed to bed myself.  I slept for a good hour or so, but awoke with all the same debilitating symptoms.  Thirsty, I pealed myself from the bed, and headed downstairs for a glass of water.  That’s when I saw it, sitting there next to the coffee pot mocking my miserable existence…a large, orange bag of decaffeinated coffee.  Ugh!  Some would say this is why one should never take up drinking caffeine.  I say, this is why one should never give it up!  At least I know that I can make tomorrow a much brighter day!
