We lost an hour this weekend. Did you notice? I did!
I started the weekend by meeting with one of my graduated interns (I have taken on at least one intern a year for the last seven years). He visited on Friday after his girlfriend(my current intern) ratted me out by telling him I haven’t been taking my days off. Truth be told who has time to take a day off when daylight savings time is almost over.
Evidently his visit effected me more deeply than I realized because on Saturday morning I woke up at 4 A.M. It made me feel like this.
But I did have to finish my sermon before choir practice. So I walked the dogs and then chopped at the keyboard until the sermon was finished.
By 8 I was at the church warming up. I’ve noticed that warm up has become more and more important as I age.
After three hours of singing I was off to the Special Touch Bowl-A -Thon.
We raised $4400.00 for people with disabilities to go to summer camp. We have another Bowl-a-thon scheduled next week and our hope is to clear $10,000.00.
After that I visited some friends for a fellowship gathering. The sunset was lovely.
At this point I was pretty tired. I was just sure I would sleep well. Four A.M. came and I was up (which was really three because we sprung ahead remember) once again. Sunday was two services…excellent services I might add but springing ahead has left me a bit unhinged.
So today I am taking my intern’s advice. It is almost eleven and I am still in my pajamas. I think I will watch TV and eat cookies. After all spring is here!





There is wisdom in resting!
Yes there is.
It was a great day indeed!
I think you probably earned more than one day off but whether that happens or not I hope you had a day full of peace and quiet!
It was an awesome day. I wrote 1500 words!
It is good to be busy but not to be too busy. Rest is good, too. Hope a day in your jammies helped you catch up on the latter.
It did. I eventually went grocery shopping and had a little work to do at the church…but not too much.
Rest and recharge! Hope you had a great day, Joseph!
it was so awesome I am thinking of taking another just like it. 🙂
It’s amazing the effect of one little hour of lost sleep.
I am still not adjusted.
