The ice pellets continue to fall as I sit in my large stuffed chair after a long drive home. It is supposed to change over to rain later, but for now, the roads are very slippery.

I was exhausted when I left the office. I was thinking of writing a blog post talking about Christian Wiman’s “My Bright Abyss” and Death, the Prosperity Gospel and Me, perhaps as they relate to various discussions about people I’ve been talking with recently. Yet I wasn’t sure I had the energy to write about it. In fact, I was tired enough to simply dread the drive home.

I didn’t put on music or a book on tape as I drove, like I often do. I just drove. It was a good thing, because the roads just got worse and worse. Soon, it was taking all my mental energy just to drive. There was the adrenaline of driving in the slippery conditions, and that got me home safely, but as I ate dinner and the adrenaline wore off, the fatigue returned.

So, there won’t be great insights this evening. I’ll simply head off to bed and see what tomorrow brings.
