What a Weekend! - 16 August 2021 - Plague Journal Day 522

Micah 6:8
Mark 2:19
Yes, your life matters.

Some of you are still sheltering in place, but fear not: I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?

As the title says, What a Weekend! It was pretty much non-stop celebration from Wednesday evening right through all of Saturday, then worship and catching up on work around the house on Sunday (so much for a day of rest).

We got together with out-of-town family on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (counting the wedding and reception, naturally), and Saturday. A birthday celebration, a long-delayed bratwurst feast, the ceremony (in two languages!), the reception (also in two languages!), a farewell breakfast, a bon voyage lunch, and a dinner with a long-delayed graduation present.

As I said to Bob Sunday morning, running the soundboard for worship was probably the most relaxing part of my (long) weekend.

At any rate, everyone had a wonderful time, the right people got married and celebrated, all those who traveled in for the wedding got back out (and home), and the honeymooners are. All is well with the world, as far as I can tell. Now if I could just get those vines in the back yard to dial back on their profligacy, I would be an even happier man than I am now.

Still, God is good. All the time.

Keep Calm and Don't Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
