Sunday Matters: You Good?

15 Comments

Sunday Matters

Good morning! There is a lot going on in the news cycle of late. Hurricane Helene, political junk and the like. Many of you are dealing with the aftermath of Helene and honestly, I am praying for you. I’ve been ousted from an earthquake, fire(s), but the devastating lead-up to a hurricane of this magnitude has got to be exhausting and terrifying. Please let us know that you are good. Some of you got out just in time.

Right Now:

Like every Sunday, I am with students in student ministry but I added another hat to my head, online ministry host! Our services stream live so I get to hang out with folks in chat. I do that in the morning and then head right into students. It’s new and different. I like doing both.

This Week:

Sometimes I am way extroverted and other times not so much. I have nothing on the calendar for this week. Yes!! I mean, I am working but no extra anythings to attend.

I am deep into Of Human Bondage for our read along and often find myself anxious to get back to it. I’ve been pondering the meaning of the title. Since I have nothing going on this week I should be able to get through this week’s reading just fine.

Reading:

Next up:

Watching:

Still watching Tulsa King. Stallone is just too good in it.

Grateful for:

Clean MRI. Got my results back from 10/8. All good.

Sunday Matters: Almost Time for the Read Along

Sunday Matters

Hello, friends! Good morning! We have hot weather again this weekend but no complaints. Some of you are really going through it with Helene. Stay safe out there!

Right Now:

Getting myself together so I can hang out with JHIGH students at church.

This Week:

I don’t have much going on socially but this Tuesday is October 1st and that means the Of Human Bondage read along begins!! We have a small group of us but let’s go!

There’s still time to get a copy.

Reading:

I finished All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker. You can read my review here.

I also finished James and reviewed it recently.

Currently I’m reading three books and want to finish at least two before the read along.

Can’t wait to start this one!

Of Human Bondage

Watching:

I was sitting on the couch reading, while my husband had a show on and I couldn’t help but get into it. Tulsa King. Anyone else watching? A mob boss, played by Sly Stallone, is sent to Oklahoma (of all places) to start a new mob cell. It’s kind of funny and very good. Highly recommend. Also, it has Dana Delaney. Love her!

Grateful for:

The Otter Pup is hanging in there. She finished her round of antibiotics for her sinus infection. Still eating. Still enjoying sun beams. We do what we can to keep her happy. So grateful that she is sleeping much better now. The poor thing was really struggling to breath. It’s so hard to watch a beloved pet age.

Hey, have a wonderful week!
