In case you’re curious…
I currently have the flu…and typhoid, Hepatitis A and B, and polio. That’s right, I’ve essentially paid the travel clinic of Santa Anna to inject me with the very diseases I was trying to avoid. Sure they‘re very weakened, something supposedly easy for my immune system to handle, BUT what if there’s a Rocky in the group. Some small but tenacious virus that is down for the count but is determined to go the distance with my immune system and makes a record come back that just wears it down and WHAM I’ve got polio. And then my very practical friends would say, “Well you asked for it.” And they would be right, I asked and paid for exactly that.
Speaking of boxing, it feels like I got punched in the arm. Punched in the arm by a beefy guy with an equally beefy class ring. But I’m not complaining. I can take it.
Guess what else I can take. Money. I’ve been wracking my brain lately looking for more relationships I can exploit for money for Jesus. It’s tricky. Support letters are tricky. You don’t want give too much detail because you want to respect people’s time, but you want them to know enough to be excited about it and to know what they’re getting into. You want to bring up the money part soon enough that they can glance at the email and know what you want, but you don’t want to just throw it out so soon that they think that you’re just another person asking for money. You want it to sound professional, but you don’t want to be impersonal. Hrmph. It’s just tricky.
Anyway that’s the trip related stuff I’ve been dealing with this week. So now you know and now you can feel in loop. You’re in! We’re in! We’re in this together, my pain is your pain. I hope that’s just as fulfilling for you as it is for me.
