Micah 6:8
John 14:1-11
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?
Well, it was a mixed bag of a weekend. Heidi and I got to sing with Jacki in church for the first time in a long time - it was great to try to keep folks on the Sunny Side of Life.
Saturday was a pretty good day all around. Got some stuff done, chose and "rehearsed" our song for Sunday, walked Billie, all the good things a weekend of nice weather can afford. Sunday started well too - singing in church and then it was Rummage Sale time! Well, actually it was getting ready for Rummage Sale time, so Heidi and I were back there helping from around 1 to 4, moving, sorting, tossing, testing, all that good stuff.
However, at the same time, Dad was having a bout of the Sunday blues. It seems to happen to him fairly often when he can't be at church - he misses the worship and especially the fellowship. He was in a funk when he was awake, but he slept much of the day. It was distressing to hear his very "down" comments - especially after his having gotten such a boost on Friday from Dawn's visit and encouragement.
I'm happy to report that it seems to have been a one-day kind of thing. He's back to more himself again today, so here's hoping.
I don't want you all to miss the special historical commemoration that should happen today. On 27 September 1722 Samuel Adams was born. That makes today his 299th birthday. Happy Birthday to America's Beer Guy, and imagine the celebration next year!
Keep Calm and Don't Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
