Sunday Matters: Time is a Beast

Sunday Matters

March is nearly over (can you believe it?) and California is drowning in water for the first time ever. We’ve had so much rain that all the lakes and reservoirs have to be  emptied to allow for the snow run-off. The pot holes all around town can kill ya! I hit one on the freeway and nearly ran into a big rig. They are supposed to fix them this weekend but that will only happen if it stays dry long enough. Sink holes are popping up everywhere too. It’s wild.

Right Now:

Per the usual schedule, I am headed to student ministry and then will go down for a nap right around 2pm. Ha. Those after church naps hit different and with all my autoimmune battles I cannot function without one. This past week was me on the struggle bus just trying to get through the day. Autoimmune exhaustion is rough because sleep doesn’t really fix it. I just end up dragging myself around until I can get home. Plus, you look fine on the outside but feel dead on the inside. I know some of you can relate.

This Week:

I don’t have much this week but I am going for my 3rd ultrasound for that breast lump detected over two years ago. It was larger six months ago but they still just wanted to watch it. If it’s larger this time they really should do a biopsy IMO.

Reading:

The Cabinet of Dr. Leng by Preston and Child. I love Agent Pendergast! I’ve really only glanced at this a few times because I picked up Beth Moore’s memoir All My Knotted-Up Life and have been riveted.

All My Knotted-Up Life

Watching:

  • No TV but I did see The Jesus Revolution at the theater with people from my church. Someone reserved the entire theater for volunteers so we saw it together while the hail was coming down outside. The movie was great!

Grateful for:

  • All of you. With my current health situation I’ve not had the energy to comment too much but I am reading blogs here and there.
  • Our new tax guy. The lady who did our taxes for over 19 years retired so we had to find someone new.
  • FaceTime with the kids and kitties.

What are you looking forward to this week?

Sunday Matters: Still Here

Sunday Matters

It was not my intention to take a mini break from the blog but I guess that’s what I did. Everything is fine. I started meds for all of my auto-immune issues and it’s taking a little bit of time to get used to them. To distract myself I’ve been diving into my books whenever I can.

My son came down on Thursday for a few days and we just dropped him and his cat Root Beer off at the airport. It was a really nice visit. As you can imagine, the Otter Pup just loved seeing her cousin again.

Right Now:

I am about to hang with the students at student ministry and then  later today we have a special event so I will be back there after a much needed nap.

This Week:

I am hosting book club this Wednesday. We will be discussing Nightcrawling. What a brutal book but I really enjoyed it. The author does an excellent job of creating a sense of place and the characters are so believable.

On Saturday, I am having a few friends over for a BBQ. That will be fun. Still trying to figure out what I will make.

Reading:

I scored a review copy of The Cabinet of Dr. Leng by Preston and Child so I am reading that along with Demon Copperhead,  my next club pick. I also received a copy of Beth Moore’s new memoir, All My Knotted Up Life. I am REALLY excited for this book.

Watching:

  • I really want to see Jesus Revolution but movie times are scare where I am. Soon. I will catch it soon.

Grateful for:

  • Opportunities to speak at student ministry. It went well, guys!
  • The successful run of my daughter’s show at MSU. We didn’t get to see her this time but she said it was a great experience. She now has a callback for Prom, the musical.
  • FaceTime with the kids and kitties.

What are you looking forward to this week?
