and that means mid-week services– Discovery and Adult Prayer Meeting. That also means I should be well on my way to having my messages for Sunday ready. The operative word here is SHOULD. Truth be know, I don’t. Things happen andyou have to adjust. Besides dealing with the mini-calamity at the church (showing the clean-up crew where things are and waiting for the insurance adjuster), at the house we were in the process of putting up crown molding, new baseboards and painting. That work was interrupted or delayed a number of times.
My wife was not a happy camper. She says it seems that every time we start a project that should normally take a day or two, it turns into a week (or more) because it never fails, I get called away right in the middle of it. I can understand her frustrations. I believe the Lord will have special rewards for pastors' wives--some for putting up with us and others for the many times they have had to put their own plans on hold. I can go weeks without getting a call that requires that I drop everything, but let me begin something here at the house and it seems the calls start. I’m sure I am not the only one who experiences this sort of thing. Sunday is our anniversary, so I am going to work extra hard to try and get this home project finished before the weekend.
This just may be my only post for today. We are taking the day off from the painting and stuff, but I still must prepare an ad for the paper, print some cards to send out, go over my message for tonight, work on the lessons for our Marriage Enrichment seminar and get started writing one of the lessons for fall Teen Discovery. Whew! I got tired just writing all that.
