Now I know how the Martians felt in the original War of the Worlds.  It’s amazing how quickly a virus can bring one down!  I felt the attack coming on Friday night, and tried to fend it off with by taking Airborne and sucking on Vitamin C lozenges.  Didn’t work.  Like MJ dropping 38 on Utah while battling the flu, I manned up and made the arduous trek to my parents’ home after church.  Once there I pretty much spent Sunday and most of Monday in a horizontal position.  One benefit of being sick is that it’s a great kick-starter for a weight-loss regimen.  Anyway, now I’m all better and should be my normal self at church tomorrow (look out world!).  Nick and I are going to watch John Huston’s “The Bible” tonite, which covers the first 22 books or so of Genesis.  I remember watching this late one nite as a kid.  From what I remember, it covers creation, Asam & Eve, Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah, and Abraham & Isaac.  I remember being scared when Lot’s wife turned into the pillar of salt.  Should be fun!
