So I stayed home sick the other day. The funny thing was I didn’t feel that bad, but you know what? That’s ok. See I stayed home for 2 reasons

1. For my body to heal from this sickness.

2. And 2, so that I wouldn’t get others sick.

See it was the typical cold, runny nose, coughing, sore throat, occasional headache. Typical. Now I’m sure I had caught it from someone at school who had the same sort of thing, just a typical cold. I doubt I got it from someone who had the full on thing, this is because when you’re really sick and you have it all you stay home. So I bet it was just someone’s small cold just like mine.

It’s funny, because even though I found my body healing, I found other parts of me heal and grow also. I found that since I got to stay home alone I did a lot of praying, talking with God, reading the Bible, reading other Spiritual books and such. It kind of made me wonder, well why don’t we have soul sick days? Seriously! Say I am having a terrible day, I wake up and it sucks already. As soon as I get downstairs I spill the milk, I’m being a jerk to all my family, I’m slamming doors and such shouldn’t I take a sick day? I mean it, I’m serious. It would be best for everyone wouldn’t it? You might not think it’s going to help you, just like I didn’t think staying home would help me, but it will. Rather than me going and getting others sick, or me going and being a jerk to everyone I should stay home. Now as I said earlier I probably cought the sickness form someone who had it a little bit. Well it was probably from a combined group of people who were partially sick. Well it’s the same with spiritual sickness, I might have it only sort of bad, just a grumpy day or I haven’t talked to God in a while one on one, but it could also be really bad, and that’s where I would get sent home anyway because I would do something bad. Do you see what I’m saying? You could go to school on a really bad day and get detention, or suspension or anything. That’s what I’m saying. The really bad days aren’t what you have to worry about so much, the really bad sickness you’ll stay home and you won’t rub off on anyone, but the sort of sick or bad or unspiritual days, that’s what you have to worry about. When you head to school on one of those days you have to try extra extra hard to not contaminate anyone, not to be a bad influence, or a give a bad reputation for Jesus. That’s why it’s better to stay home. I don’t want to go to school and leave some of my sickness with someone else, I also don’t want to go to school and leave someone with hurt feelings from me. Basically all I’m trying to say here is just like we have sick days for health, we need to have sick days for spirituality and bad days in general so we don’t give someone else a bad day, or a sick spirit.
