I’m not sure when this post will show up or if it even will. Part of me thinks that it would be improved if it were a video post and I could simply talk it out. But, that’s not a choice on the menu at present. So fasten up your eyeglasses, folks, this might take a minute.

Strange as it may seem, I’ve been thinking a lot about sexual assault of late. There’s a couple of blogs that I read where it’s been addressed a few times and one particular post discussed the possibility of healing, whether it actually was possible. And I think it is.  Let me be clear: I think it is. But I suppose it all comes down to what one considers healing. I have to agree with Cara at the Curvature if her definition of healing is going back to the way you were beforehand. But, getting to the point where you understand the consequences of what’s happened to you? Allowing God to move you out from a place of pain? If that’s healing, then I think I’m doing it.

So the truth of the matter is that I should be in bed. Because I’m supposed to be at work tomorrow at nine a.m. and lately I’ve been staying up till seven in the morning and sleeping in all day. I’m on like . . . China time or something. But instead of doing that (and I WILL do it, okay? . . . yeah, in a dang minute so keep your pants on!), I logged on to LinkedIn, a networking site I have to admit I don’t really get yet. And there, believe it or not, as I’m browsing through Possible Connections in the Classmates section at Kent State University, I come across the profile of my first boyfriend.

JOLT.
