This Journey

Thoughts, rants, prayers, sermons I'll never give and other stuff gathered as I make my way through this life.

still nothing

This weekend has been an experience in just trying to get the next thing done. Which, I haven’t been all that successful at. So this is going to be a very lame post. You have been warned.

Friday’s session at the gym turns out to be a prime example of the myth of “it will give you more energy.”

Friday night was long and a bit tough. I was at the pre-investiture retreat to help the four women plan their service of investiture. I love planning worship. I even love planning worship with a colleague. But this was trying to come to consensus with 9 women, one of whom kept trying to “drive” the process while at the same time saying “it’s just a suggestion.” I must have done OK, because several of them complimented me on my “patience” by the end. (ah, the irony.)

Saturday, was another 3 hour meeting on the same topic but with only one colleague. We got a lot more done.

I didn’t get much else done on Saturday.

This morning, Palm Sunday, I played and also was one of the readers. At both services.

After church I made the boys go to the grocery store with me. When we got home I could barely stay on my feet through the Putting Away portion of the fun. I had to lay down for a bit. Two and a half hours later I dragged my butt out of bed and tried to clean the kitchen so that I could mess it up again and make dinner.

It’s going to be a gruelling week. Deadlines at work are insane. I have some internship work on the schedule. Supposed to meet with a few support colleagues. And of course, it is Holy Week. I still haven’t looked at the MTA, but I’m pretty sure the boys are with me for Easter. I can tell you right now, I don’t think I’m going to cook anything. I think we’ll go out for dinner…after a nice long Sunday afternoon nap.

I should stay up and clean the kitchen (again) or get a head’s start on something due for tomorrow, or find some of the information I need for the re-finance company, or do a load of laundry. Or a number of other things. But I think I’m going to go to bed.

A paradox wrapped in an enigma playing the accordion. I'm a sinner-saint, child of God working at the cross-roads of church and world. A Deaconess called to connect people living near the center with people on the edge and to help your life sing (literally and figuratively) while doing it. People don't always get the deaconess part. Could be the swearing, the corporate job, or the wine.

  1. Sometimes, going to bed is the right thing to do. Hope you’re feeling a bit better.
