1. I've been better.
2. Being wise and listening well.
3. Complaining.
4. I snapped my achilles tendon a couple of years ago, that kinda sucked. I think Georgina wins, though - 2 broken arms at once is impressively awful!

Karen said...

1. A bit slowly. Walking from a to b is becoming more of an effort.
2. Being a Christian. And a kind and supportive friend.
3. Being one of those people that others don't realise is a Christian. Or being aloof and standoffish (something I often worry that people do think about me....)
4. Sport avoider here, so the worst I've ever had is a sprained ankle when I tried to play a season of adult netball. Never again.
5. God's love for me despite my continued stumbles and sinfulness.

George- I can't imagine how you'd get by with 2 broken arms.. I hope you're having a fantastic time on your trip!

Belle- eurgh.. the thought of a snapped Achilles' turns my stomach. Must've KILLED!

Cj-pesky brothers!

Jess-it is hard to tell if you're annoying. People don't tell you, they just roll their eyes when you're not looking.

Karen- I like your answer to number 5. I concur.

Al- yeah, I'm getting by with little sleep at the moment. getting by maybe, but 'surviving' is probably too strong a word.

Ben McLaughlin said...

Ben McLaughlin said...

Better late than never!

Pedro- you didn't mention the little friend that used to live on the back of your leg..

Laetitia- I hope all went well last Thursday??

Maso- Yeah, no one wants incompetence under their name..

Kim- I look forward to reading your book- I'm sure it'll be great!

Ruth- I hope you've been feeling better, and that things continue to improve. Praying the next few months go well!

Ruth said...

Thanks for praying Ben. :-)

Laetitia :-) said...
