Everyone was in town and in good health today so we attended corporate worship for the first time in over a month. What a blessing.
The sunday school lesson was from Genesis. So even though I had not studied the booklet, I HAD read my daily Bible readings for January which are all from Genesis. My buddy, the teacher, shut my rig down when I offered an insight that contradicted the "quarterly". Heavens to Myrtle! He (and the writers in Nashville) had some good ideas, but I still thought mine merited at least a mention. I obviously lacked the conventional backing needed to carry an SB SS lesson. No hard feelings.
My bowl of cereal consumed before 8am had run its metabolic course by the end of the sermon. By the time we were walking to the car, my blood sugar was bottoming out and my mood was not much better. Philip was jonesin' for any one of the several dips of tobacco he typically enjoys on weekday mornings. The ride home was just precious! The first several moments of mealtime were not much better, but we traversed through the various biological manifestations of our addictions, and finally found our way back to sweetness.
After a luncheon of leftovers, Philip was called to work. Mari napped, the girls went across the street to play, Landen toured the neighborhood on his four-wheeler, and Luke and I vegged out. I did a little planning for MP3 and then vegged some more.
I set the french loaf sloppy joes in the oven before I left and we were able to enjoy them the moment we returned from the church house. MP3 went great. I think I burned a couple hundred calories, but broke even thanks to snack time. Our songs for this semester come with lyrics on dvd, so it's like karaoke with a bunch of hyperactive emerging readers. We had a blast worshipping.
Now everyone is doin' their thang around the house. I can't tell if we're winding down, or gearing up. Transition mode, I suppose.
Thank You God for today. You are Good in every way!
