Seattle Fatigue

I’m out in the Pacific Northwest for a professional conference, which means that I’m not at home taking care of my sick wife. You often hear that God doesn’t give us more than we can handle, which begs the questions: where does that leave those of us who are religiously ambiguous?

At this point, I feel as though I’m buckling under the weight of all the hats I’m having to wear, and my being away provides absolutely no relief for any of the members of my family. I’ve been here for just a day—in a part of the country and with colleagues I’m quite fond of, mind you—but I’m already ready to be home.
