I use to be able to stay up for hours on end and work around a clock. My day started at 7:30 Friday morning. I had planned to toddler sit Wes (a toddler from our church) but those plans got squashed. So, I’ll be honest I took a hour and just read. I been reading SEX GOD by Rob Bell. Pretty good reading other than Bell’s insistence of not writing in complete sentences. Drives me nuts using incomplete sentences. I butcher English far more than I prefer to but to put it into writing in a book? I digress. Anyway starting about 9, I worked in the yard for 3 hours. Push mowers and weeds are not fun. Neither, is cleaning up after our dog Annie. Period. Anyway, I spent from about 12 to 1 working on my sermon for Sunday. At 1, my wife got home early and we drove about 30 miles up to where friends have a barber shop/beauty salon where we needed to be at 3 for her appointment. We first dropped off my CRV to get some wiring work done so I can pull the church trailer. We both got hair cuts then booked it to get to a movie that we thought started at 4:15 in Wilmington. We got there with 5 minutes to spare, it didn’t start to 7. We got early tickets. Well we went by and picked up my CRV that was ready at 4:30. I talked to the owner for about 30 minutes and invited him and his wife to church. Hope they come. On the way home I call my wife and she has had to go into work for a while. I got home at 5:15 and decide to walk the dog. We hadn’t walked her in a couple days. So I walk the dog and get her fed and it’s 6:15. Well, my wife gets home and we rush to get to the movie. We watched Fracture. Good movie worth seeing at least once. Anyway, we got home and at 9 we relaxed until 11. Anyway its two hours later then when I started this, it 4:55 am and it’s past my bed time. I use to be able to work from 7am to 3am without to much of a problem. It appears those days are beginning to fade. Go figure.
