Yuk, Yuk, Yuk! Monday. Bah humbug. The only people that like Monday's are barbers and preachers!

Church was excellent. Steven Moore was worship leader and his enthusiasm is contagious. His praise team was full of the spirit and energized. It was electric. I do wish they would put the Highland Helper in its entirety on the Highland website. Next time Steven leads I would love to have Pat, Hag and Kyle come over.

This is really beginning to irritate me. I do not like dreading going to work. I probably need to back off and re-evaluate the situation. I am finding more and more that I prefer to be out of the office regardless of what I am doing. We have limped along for so long with a patched work crew in the office that it would seem abnormal to have full attendance. One of the girls in the office fell off her porch last week and broke her ankle. She is scheduled to go in for a walking cast this morning.

I am exhausted. Is it possible to sleep but not rest? Odds are if I get still late in the afternoon, I am going to doze off. It just doesn't seem like it revitalizes me. Maybe I have narcolepsy. I know I can't be pleasant to be around. Maybe I am just worn out.

FATHER, surprise me. Go ahead and make my day! I pray for my spirits to be lifted, to be energized, to be boosted. I pray for an improved outlook. I pray to be rested and renewed. FATHER I continue to pray for Krl, for Hag, for B., for Lillie, for Carol, for Michelle, for Aimee, for Ashlyn Kate, for Jennifer, for TJ, for Anna, for Jess, for Tori, for those recovering from their injuries. I ask YOUR miracle of healing for them all. I pray for those hurting from loss and ask YOUR comfort for them. I pray for those of us lost and searching and I ask YOUR guidance. I pray for our spiritual family and leaders. Take the LORD with you!
