I just returned from my security rounds at the church.  I found one window ajar and while I was wondering how I would remedy the problem I found a door ajar so I was able to get in and fix the window, and, of course, I fixed the door as well.  It was my first time actually inside of the building this week alone, and I remember the blessing in my setting apart that mentioned times when I would be in a dark building all by myself.  It could be spooky, but it wasn't.  I did, however, imagine the police pulling up to check out some old geezer seemingly casing a church building.  I wondered how persuasive I would be to convince them I was innocent of a crime.

I returned to my office and kicked Robert off of my computer.  He just left along with his 3 munchkins.  Of course, grandma sent them off with kiddy paper plates and cups, and probably some candy too.  I used the treadmill a little bit just over an hour ago and that plus my walk to, from and around the church got me sweating a bit.  It wasn't hot, or even warm, but it wasn't too bad. Now I will have to cool down and unwind before I am able to relax enough to go to bed.  That's okay though, because I like to read, and think and e-evaluate and r-revise before I lay down and do more thinking and  more e and r.

Today felt like a much better day.  Yesterday was a little 'stinky' to me and I decided that today would be better.  And it was.  It seems like we have quite easily fallen into our new routine even after just 2 days. (one day, actually)  We're still trying to figure out what this stage of our life is all about, but we are having some fun for sure.  Pressure is still there, but it is a different kind of pressure, the kind that challenges every part of who we are.  (or who we want to be)  My plan is for us to be up to the challenge.
