I view this day as any other, no better, no worse. Though work drags, the hours do pass, and what once was rainy morning ends in sunny escape.

Quite the storm today. Quite the storm.

Oh, and by the way - Hosea is a brutal book. I would not have wanted to live in that time. I mean, I think life is hard *now*! What if God told me straight out my life was going to be miserable. What a kick in the, uh, stomach.
