Everybody Limbo!!!
I looked up the word limbo in the dictionary and I found the following definitions: suspended, on hold, up in the air, on the back burner. This is a good description of what limbo is.
The other definition of limbo is the Indian dance in which the dancer bends backwords in order to pass under a horizontal bar that is progressively lowered. I think this definition is a more accurate picture of what it feels like to be "in limbo". You feel like if you bend any further, you might snap in two. And the fire is a nice touch in this picture. Nothing like the fear of incineration to help you bend backwards even further. Funny but there is no one standing around in festive hats clapping for me right now and I am bent way backwards!
Limbo is a most unusual "unplace" in which to find yourself. Have you ever found yourself there for an undetermined amount of time? How did you cope?

I know this place all too well. It seemed I was stuck there just last year, when a sweet e-mail (from yourself) reminded me of this scripture which I put in my heart daily. We love you Mrs. Beth
Jeremiah 29:11 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Yay!! My life verse! Thanks for the reminder, Patty. And please...call me Beth. :)
