I'm a little late on yesterday's post -- a busy day like all my Saturdays and Sundays seem to be.. Even so, I still always look forward to my weekends. Maximum family time.
It seems that it's always about this time of the week that I'm most tired. At supper, mom also seemed tired. She's been battling headaches for several weeks. I guess we'll soon find out if they're a result of the cancer.
I think it's struck me more recently than ever before how the evil that can reside in our hearts and minds can be so much like a cancer. It steals our time. It saps our energy. It damages our relationships. It's hard to rid ourselves of it, and even when we do, it so often seems to come back. It seems that when most hear the word "evil," they thing of something out of The Exorcist. The kind that's so obvious that you can recognize it just looking at it. The kind that is visibly ugly. Not all evil is like that. Often it's beautiful and appealing. It tells you it's harmless. But like cancer, it can be hard to tell what's benign and what's malignant until you look closely.
