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?

Sunday Matters

This year I’ve been more interested in football because The Hub convinced me to be part of a pool. I have no idea what I am doing. Ever. But it does make the game a little more exciting. I would be lying if I didn’t admit that for me, the Super Bowl is more about the food, and what I plan to read before and after the half time show. We are not having people over so the food will be simple but it’s still fun to cook up a menu.

Right Now:

This year, I have student ministry before the game. Some years it’s been cancelled but not this year. I will be done by 1pm. If I plan ahead for the food, it can be cooking while I am out and I’ll be home well before kick-off.

This Week:

I have all sorts of things going on this week:

1st appt with my new Rheumatologist is Monday
3 meetings
Book club on Wednesday
A fun event that I plan to drop by for, just for a few minutes on Friday
Dinner at an old school Hollywood restaurant at the end of the week with the in-laws.

Reading:

I scored a review copy of The Cabinet of Dr. Leng by Preston and Child. I love Agent Pendergast! This is #21 in the series. I’ve read many, but not all, but this one sounds really good and I think I can read it fairly quickly at 416 pages.
