Blogging Alone On Sunday Morning

3 comments

Categories: fun, random stuff

One might be asking about now, “Why is Jeff blogging on his vacation? Shouldn’t he be busy doing something else?” Indeed, I’ve asked myself the exact same thing.

No, this isn’t OCD (although it could be). 🙂 The fact is, first–I am the only morning person in my family. Second–I am up at 6:30 each morning whether I want to be or not, because we have a dog whose bladder doesn’t care what time it is, and I have a family of not-morning people. Third–Denver is an hour behind Tulsa, which means I am now getting up at 5:30 every morning because it feels like 6:30.

Our Christmas Present to Ourselves…

…is a road trip!!

We’re back in Denver for a few days. Last time, we came here to participate in a conference. This time, we’re here to do some of the touristy things we didn’t get to do last time we were here.

First thing we did when we arrived was go to Maggiano’s Little Italy for dinner. Mmmmm….

We’re planning to visit Kathy while we’re here, and hopefully catch my friend Mike as well. But mainly we’ll be hanging downtown, and stuff like that.

Oh…and gas for the trip cost less than half what it did last time. 🙂

Finally, A Large Bloc of Time In Which to Blog…Now What the Crap Do I Write?

Today is the first day in almost 2 weeks that I have not had to rush to some job, or investigate some job opportunity.

It also happens to be icy on the roads here today, and a balmy 19 degrees outside…which makes it a perfect opportunity to sit by the fire and blog to my heart’s content.

Wornded Out

I’m just plum tarred. (tired)

On Friday, an opportunity for extra Christmas income came my way, so I took it. I’ve been working all weekend on a project, and I’ll be involved with it all this week as well. But I asked God for this opportunity, so I’m glad it happened.

So this is Sunday night, and the only chance I’ll have to rest between my normal stuff and the extra work. So I’m couch-potatoing in front of the TV and the fireplace…and blogging about nothing in particular, except to tell you…I’m worn out.

Talk to you soon.

A Community Giving Thanks

No comments yet

Categories: food for thought, random stuff

For those of you waiting with baited breath to see how our special house church Thanksgiving worship time went today…

…it went good. 🙂

We are normally pretty relaxed and laid back in our approach. So today we did a liturgy. 🙂

Using a mixture of singing, corporate Scripture reading, prayer, and sharing thoughts with one another, we covered a variety of steps concering giving thanks, including:

  • We enter His gates with thanksgiving
  • We seek to develop a lifestyle of thanksgiving
  • We give thanks for what God has done
  • We give thanks for one another

A Weird Week…

This has been a weird week.

I do not know why, but it seems like all these little decisions have to be made this week, all these little things have to be done…

…and I sort of feel like crap, so my brain is just muddled and can’t process all the data too well.

I get a little worried at what it’s going to look like when I come to. 🙂

My mind wanders, and I get easily…oooh, look at that.

Have you ever had times like that?

The Off the Map Conference is over, but The Wild One, The Director and I are still in Denver, doing some sightseeing. Now that the whirlwind weekend is over, we’ll be spending some time with fellow blogger Kathy and her family, and are planning to head for home on Wednesday.
