This happened today.

So Chris is here and he got a phone call that he stepped outside to take. [Mark’s wife] came to me and said "I wonder what is happening now?!?!" 

As if there were new and terrible developments. I cornered Chris when he got off the phone and he assured me that there was nothing new or terrible. Just a normal call from a person in this community. But this triggered a panic in me that I have not been able to shake off. I began imagining all kinds of horrible things and have been fighting back despair for the past hour.

I need prayers and jokes to make it through this weekend.
