I just got one on my upper right-back corner of my mouth. It’s right along the gum line between my cheek and my teeth. It’s painful. And it sucks.

grrr…

I cried earlier today. I began to teach myself how to play The Valley Song by Jars of Clay. As I sang the verses, they started to hit me in a different way than I’m used to…

I really started to feel it in the second verse:

When death, like a gypsy,
Comes to steal what I love
I will still look to the heavens
I will still seek Your face

But I fear You aren’t listening
Because there are no words
Just the stillness…and the hunger
For a faith that assures…

I fear sometimes that God isn’t there because he doesn’t say anything. But perhaps he is so close…he doesn’t have the words that will comfort me. But only his presence.
