Sunday Matters

I am still waiting to hear from some of you who were affected by Ian. I hope and pray that your properties were spared. It HAD to be terrifying to witness. The images coming out of Fort Myers are unbelievable. Praying that the clean-up can begin soon and that power is restored quickly.

Right Now:

My routine on Sunday is pretty static. Student ministry from 8:30am-1pm but today my husband begins training for his new volunteer position (security for the church). So while I am wandering around with the students, he will be with the main service being trained for that team.

This Week:

This week is a busy one. My church is hosting their very first 3-day revival 10/3-10/5. Basically it’s three nights of teaching and worship but our student group is meeting early for food and then we will attend together.

My daughter’s 19th birthday is this week as well. 19!

On a not so great note, my son is getting laid off from the museum after four months. Their finances are not good. He moved out there for that job and has a lease and bought all that furniture so he is applying in the area hoping to find something soon. Root Beer the cat isn’t concerned at all. She just hops in the stroller and says it will be okay. Prayers and good thoughts appreciated.

Reading:

Finishing up the new Irving book. When a book is nearly 1000 pages and so good, you can’t blow through it. I need to pick up a shorter book to read alongside it.

Watching:

Hocus Pocus and its sequel are on my list to watch this weekend. The new season of Cobra Kai not pulling me in, so far. Maybe it will pick up.

Grateful for:

Bullet blenders that can whip a handful of spinach and blueberries into a fortifying smoothie. I’m trying to up my nutrition and this is a quick way to do it.
Docking stations that allow me to connect my new MacBook to a larger screen and keyboard.

Have a great week!

Good morning, friends. I’ve been in the strangest mood. I feel a little scatterbrained and unhinged, if I am being honest. There is nothing going on except me getting used to being back in the office. I just need to get a grip and move on.

Luna the cat had 5 kittens. She is a good little mama. All the kittens are black except for one tabby and he, I think he is a he, is a pistol. Beating up on all the others and stealing the best nursing spots. He is the most vocal too. He has a lot of personality.

Root Beer the cat continues to live well in the Pacific Northwest. She, too, has become quite the character. Both kids tell me these are the only “grandkids” I will ever have. I am Mee-maw to the kitties.

The temps dropped here. The high yesterday was 82 and it was lovely. Cool mornings, golden sunshine, blue skies. It feels like fall. Thank God.

Right Now:

Heading to student ministry in a bit. I am hosting the game today! Right after we meet, we are heading to the beach for baptisms. We have nine students getting baptized. Beach baptisms are always super popular but man, that water is cold.

Reading:

I am reading Lemon. It’s very good.

Watching:

Not much. We started the new season of Cobra Kai. It did not start well. Kind of boring.

Grateful for:

Cooler weather has put me in a clothes buying mood which never happens. I just purchased a few fall tops. Feels good to be a grown-up again.
Follow-up appts. I hate going to the doctor but my follow-up ultrasound for the breast lump is tomorrow. Hope it hasn’t changed and this time, I hope they decide to take it out.

Have a great Sunday!

Chatting with friends about books and life…
