Day of Rest

So, I overslept this morning and missed half of the first worship service.  Thankfully, I had no responsibilities this morning so that was good.  Let’s hope next Sunday I don’t have that problem since I’m preaching and most likely would be missed if I overslept.  As you can tell from yesterday’s post, Saturday was a [...]

Thanks

Thanks for your prayers and encouraging words on the restless nights.  What great friends!  Things are a little better – thanks to Tylenol PM, some conversations and some extra work time.   I’m resorting temporarily to drugs for help.  I can just take so many sleepless nights until lack of rest makes me unable to function.  [...]

Restless Nights Return

What was going to be a good night’s sleep has turned out differently and I must honestly say that I am pissed right now as I type this.  I was in bed by 10:45 pm and ready to have a needed 8-hours of sleep.  I was freshly showered and set to go.  That was nearly [...]

Taking a Dump

Tonight I had dinner with most of Steve’s family.  His mom made a delicious supper and Steve’s brother and his sister, brother-in-law and nephew were there as well.  It was a wonderful evening and I really enjoyed my visit with all of them.  I had met all of them through church already except for Will [...]

Tour de France

Been reading a lot today on the Tour de France as part of my sermon prep for this Sunday.  This Sunday is the final day of the tour and my sermon is related to it in many ways.  You’ll just have to come on Sunday to find out exactly how!!  It really is an interesting [...]

New Look, Fresh Start

I had some extra time tonight to work on my blog and decided to give it a fresh look.  We’ll see how long I like it.  It works for now.  If you don’t like it, you can email me at idontcare@all.com.
Had a great time on our CG float trip. We did a 13-mile [...]
