February 11 – “Already an adventure”

Ah, Monday.  Back to the old grind.  It was time once again to attack the weekly tasks of bill-paying and article-writing and worship-service-preparing and sermon-developing.  Toss in some more of the things that had plopped on our plate while we were cruising around the Caribbean as well as a few that have come up since we returned.  It all made for a time-consuming tossed salad of tedious tasks. 

Whew.  That’s enough hyphens.  Besides, I forgot to include the extra non-work related side journeys we took.  On the way back from one of our ventures we stopped at the bank to make a deposit.  I know.  Not very glamorous, is it?  But I did get to say hello to one of the two Eastern European tellers.  Made me kind of miss being on the cruise ship.  She was very nice and had a fine grasp of the English language. 

Before returning home we popped into … WalMart, of course.  We were out of fruit, so that was a must-stop to make.  We even ran into a lady we used to see at the water exercise class we took back in the day.  Wow.  I guess that was well over a year or two ago.  Ages.  We did get some fried chicken while we were there.  Fried chicken and salad for supper.  Not a bad combination.  Oh, and we still haven’t mastered the new WalMart configuration.  Thing is … I don’t think WalMart has mastered the new WalMart configuration.  Too many things keep changing from day to day.  But it keeps things interesting.  A trip to WalMart was already an adventure.  Now it’s more like a dangerous jungle safari.

Okay.  Okay.  I get it.  This post barely qualifies as an entry in the whole blog system of communication.  It happens …

Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God has prepared in advance for us to do.”

Father, please bring light to the depressed today.  Sometimes it just hard for them to see through their darkness.  Amen.
