Correction! (Cowboy Not Happy Bout Sumpn I Said!)

I just woke up, but even before a sip of coffee, I have to write a REEEEEEALLY fast correction/clarification. And my mom has to sign it before the principal will accept it.

Apparently, the cowboy was awake half the night, extremely unhappy with me putting into the blog his having said, "I want to die."

He said that with so many people praying for him, what must that look like? He felt it was a "slap in the face" of his friends.

Uh oh! I'm in the naughty corner! (I tried to get out of it by saying, "Well all Christians TECHNICALLY want to die, 'cause heaven is better!" He was NOT buying it. Lawyerly argument attempt: EPIC FAIL.)

So here's the clarification: He did NOT mean it literally. It was ONLY an expression of how bad he felt. He said to tell you it's like something you'd say if you had the flu and both ends were flying, and you be in the middle of it and say, NOT LITERALLY, "I wanna die!"

HE DOES NOT WANT TO DIE. <----Look. HE WANTS TO LIVE!

It's even something you might say if you had to carry in too many groceries and put them away on a hot day. "I wanna die. And I'm never eating again. Grocery shopping isn't worth it!" Naturally, I say this almost every time I have to put the groceries away. Brat that I am.

So I hope you will all forgive me for the mis-step; I am known for being a Drama Queen and drawing some things without their context.

Final update: Bill wants to live! Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!! And thank you for your prayers. If you sent any up with that line in it, God will know how to edit it.

Love,
Beth in the Corner
