Wow!  Snow two days in a row.  Winter is so bad!  (tongue in cheek)  This has actually been one of the wimpiest winters in a long time.  But it has been cold, and as I wrote last night my old age and the cold are not as compatible as they have been.  And today is a new month so I got my church keys back and had to go over there tonight walking in the weather.  I did wear a good coat and kept my hood on there and back.  It actually felt okay to be back on the job.  And I was needed.  Not only were a few lights left on and doors left open inside the building the two main south doors had not been locked.  No one will ever know, but that is an interesting aspect of this calling that I am still trying to comprehend and embrace.  The best thing is that Sheila doesn't have to work tomorrow, so the alarm doesn't have to be set, so we won't have to be awakened at 6 am!  I won't sleep in much, but its the knowing that I can that feels good.

 

I picked up a good saying the other day.  I did write it down and I have thought well of it several times since.  So I will record it here for me and mine for now and forever:  "A man is known by the company that he avoids".  I have things that I am learning to avoid so that makes sense to me.  Oh yeah, to go along with my feeling good about not having to get up early I got the papers for both Richard and Marv today, so that won't be hanging over me in the morning either.  I do have work, and I will be 'excited' to get up and get going on it, but the pressure is off.  Makes it feel a bit like a weekend.  And I like weekends.  I like week days too.  In fact, I like everything that I do.  I like sleeping and I like being awake.  I like being with people and I like being alone. I like reading and I like watching TV.  The one thing that I don't like is the restraint of time and place.  Won't it be a blast when in the next world they won't exist?  It'll take getting used to, but apparently it works well for Father.
