Subpoena

I've always thought that is one of the oddest looking words. I'm not quite sure how the spelling and pronunciation go together, but who am I to question these things?

Well, regardless of that, Jason and I both received one. We have to testify about the man who broke into our home in May. I'm not looking forward to it at all, but of course I don't really have a choice about it at this point. I am more nervous again because it's bringing the memories back. I've woken up in the middle of the night several times thinking I've heard a sound. Plus I'm afraid of who his friends are, where they live, etc.

So please pray for us on August 31st. We need clarity of thought and for me, composure. I don't want to burst into tears from stress and fear. I know this is the right thing to do, but that certainly doesn't make it any easier.

I've always thought it was a funny word, too. Like, onomatopoeia... who comes up with these things?

You're in our thoughts and prayers, as well!
