Hello, Friends!

Ti, profile pic in her office.

Guess what! I’m still alive. I fell into a little bit of a reading slump, mostly because who can read in this circus show we are living in? Plus, I had a hard time getting my book club book and then once I got it, I didn’t give myself enough time to read it. That has never happened to me before. That totally threw me off.

I am reading a wonderful book right now though. The Last Ranger by Peter Heller. He’s always so good.

I’ve been taking a lot of walks. Trying to get back to where I was pre-surgery. It’s going well. I have summer camp in July so I am gearing up for that. More stamina can only help with those sleepless nights, the all nighters, the extra sports competitions, the jumping around during worship, etc.

In other news, my work responsibilities have increased quite a bit. I’m learning so much but it’s bumped into my reading time. Lunches turn into working lunches or no lunch at all and much of my lunch time used to be used for reading. Can’t rely on that anymore but by the time bedtime hits, I curl up with my book only to crash from the day.

I will adjust.

How are you all doing?

They are arresting judges now. I knew they would come for them. Without judges preventing what is happening, we don’t have much to rely on. I still feel hopeful that we will rally soon, in some positive way. It needs to happen immediately.

I just wanted to let you know I was alive and will be back to a normal schedule soon.

Sunday Matters: Hopeful?

Hello, friends. What a week! Senator Booker’s 25 hour filibuster was something! It gave me hope for three full hours. Maybe it will encourage others to step up? So far, no. It seems as if there is more pushback in regards to most things but what will come of it? I’ve no idea.

Right Now:

Hosting the online service and then student ministry. And today is extra special because we have a meeting after all of it. They are treating us to Chipotle. Yay! Guac.

This Week:

Man, I have accomplished a lot work wise but not a lot on the reading front. Just too distracted.

Reading:

Honestly, none are holding my attention at the moment.

Watching:

Nothing, but I did see a new Shonda Rhimes show on Netflix that looks interesting. The Residence! Anyone seen it?

Grateful for:

  • The pup. She is still here! She is almost completely blind in one eye now. Age is a beast.
  • Spotify Premium. One of the best purchases ever. Love the non-stop plays, no ads but really love the newly released audio books. Makes my walk so much better.

On a more serious note, a friend’s husband passed away early Friday morning. I’m helping her plan the celebration of life and other needed arrangements. It’s rough.

Hug your loved ones. Tell them how awesome they are.
