Crapola!

I am already awake and starting my day. I had originally intended to get up at three and be gone by four but...... the best laid plans of mice and men......... . I shoulda been a rat!

Due to my proposed early start for Monday, we had an accelerated Sunday. Instead of playing at 33 rpm we switched it up there to 78 (those of you born post record players just ignore). It seemed that the day just flew by! I began the day by attending Senior Sunday at Highland. This is the service that the graduating seniors are in charge of. It was good, especially the song service. Sunday school was good although attendance was only about fifteen. Terry's mother was there and seems to be a really neat woman (I don't know what happened to him, Ha!). I really don't like the schedule with a single service at nine. I think if they are going to do that we need to have class at eight!

After church I came home and changed clothes. I needed to run some errands in preparation for today and go by to visit with one of the prospective employees and pick up his application. He will be coming on board Thursday morning (provided his MVR and drug screen are clean). My final errand was to go and pick up my office for the day, the big blue Peterbilt, and take it to the production facility. Things have a way of working out, I still had my personal pickup there from three weeks ago so I had wheels to get me home. One stop at United and I was home for the day. Problem was it was after four in the afternoon, Where did my day go?

When I was home to change clothes I did get to watch the first few Indy 500 qualifying attempts. The young woman I have been cheering on, Danica Patrick, had a little bobble on her first lap but recovered to post three very consistent laps. While she didn't win the poll position she will start from the best position ever for a woman at Indy. I think I like the new Indy format and I am looking forward to the race. Of course that particular Sunday is the Super Bowl of racing with Indy and the World 600. My kind of day!

I am finding myself dreading the week ahead. I am surprised GOD doesn't get tired of it. I guess it is like a dare, "Go ahead big man, prove me wrong. Make my week better than what I think it will be." Thankfully, he proves it over and over again.

FATHER, I pray for the perfect peace that comes when I know YOUR plan is unfolding for me just as YOU intend. I ask that YOU keep me centered, focused, and deliberate in my actions. Help me to not be anxious. I continue to pray for Krl's health. I continue to lift up Memama, Hag, Ol, B., Lillie, Carol, Michelle, Aimee, Jennifer, Tori, Ashlyn Kate, Tj, Anna, Jess, those continuing to recover from their injuries, Dr. Mackie, Yaenga, and Jeanine for YOUR gift of healing. I pray for comfort for those hurting from loss. I pray for those of us who struggle in our walk with YOU. I pray for our spiritual family and our leaders. I pray for the efforts to expand YOUR kingdom. Worthy is the LAMB.
