No fancy title

Just felt like posting tonight. It's Saturday night and I am supposed to be preparing for service tomorrow. Well, I am but I am also watching the Padres game and juggling back and forth. The local commericals are off sync and the audio doesn't match their lips. You know, slightly off... and today, I am relating to that.

On Friday, the 'bug' that was hopping around at work landed on me. I was vulnerable and my defenses down from the stress of the week. Stress doesn't always have to be bad to still be draining. It caught me off guard. So back to the airborne and the herbs. Not able to sleep well and a bit of a cough. And when I do sleep, it is that feverish restless type sleep. In fact, I had the minister's version of the Actor's Nightmare last night. Dreamt that I arrived at a church and did not have a talk prepared and learned I was "going on". Not dressed correctly and only minutes to prepare. I was anxious and frustrated that the situation played out like this, but even in my dream, I rallied, got centered and clear and confidently went on. I opened with a quote that applies to my talk for tomorrow: "If the only prayer you can say is 'thank you' that is enough." Meister Eckhardt.

Marlins pitcher Logan Kensing. That is not a name for a pitcher. That is a blonde soap opera character's name--the wealthy, heir of the dynasty.

Stayed home all day and ignored the chores. Read. Wrote. Took my preventative stuff. Juggling three new books this week.

Would love to hear back from you readers. Would you like to see graphics, photos, video, etc.on this blog? Or do you prefer just commentary? I am also looking into a software feature that would contact regular readers each time there is a new post. Would you like that--to be notified by e-mail when I post a new entry?

Well, it's the 8th and the go-ahead run is on base, so I guess I better pay attention.

no fancy ending.
