Last weekend, our church went on a Men’s Retreat to Discovery Ministries, in Eminence, MO. It was an excellent weekend together, with some great relationships, fun times, a strong challenge to be the men God wants us to be…. And a broken arm.

I fell. I’d like to have a good story to explain what happened, like rescuing a kitten from a raging torrent at the river, or saving a peanut butter sandwich before it hit the mud, or something. But I don’t. I slipped on some wet moss and went down – hard – on my elbow.

So after the weekend, I went to the ER to confirm the injury I suspected had happened, and then to an orthopedic specialist. Needless to say, the simple things are now hard to accomplish, like tying my shoes and buttoning my shirt. And typing.

For the next few weeks, I will have to simplify my life in order to let this heal. I’ll be pausing most of the activity here for a few days as well. I apologize for that, and wish I could write more, and post more, and create more. But this elbow needs to heal.

Stick around though. Things will pick back up soon, I promise. Thanks for understanding. And thanks for any prayers you might send my way. I appreciate them.
