March 30 – “Monday, Monday, Monday”

Monday, Monday, Monday.  Another week.  At least this one ends in Easter.  Yesterday Chris went to rehab, as usual.  I did my walk, then returned to the computer.  Hey, there is lots to do this week.  Thursday’s Bible study.  Two sermons for Sunday.  That would be two different ones.  A lot of the same people who are present at the 6:30 sunrise service come back for the 10:00 service as well.  They will already be tired from such an early morning.  Don’t want to give them any more reason to fall asleep. 

 

When Chris got home, we decided to duck out and go to Shrimp n Stuff for lunch.  We had a gift card we hadn’t used.  Chris had boiled shrimp tacos (They don’t grill them at the location we were at).  I tried something new.  I ordered a lunch combo with some fried shrimp and two crab balls.  I think I have found my new favorite.  Not even in the ballpark with Chris’ choice as far as healthy options go, but it was so good.

 

Back at home, Chris was feeling energetic.  She hauled out the wet/dry vac and attacked the car.  It needed a little TLC after our trip to Waco with three grandkids in the back seat.  Now it just has to stay clean for our anticipated return to traveling in May.  One month.  Bring it on.  I wasn’t feeling quite so adventurous, but I did pull some weeds and pick up a lot of errant sticks in the front yard.  Prelims for a mowing event yet to come. 

 

Last night we watched some college basketball.  University of Houston guys barely won their game.  First trip to the final four since Phi Slamma Jamma in the 80’s.  The Baylor girls barely lost their game to UConn.  Highly questionable no call on a pretty obvious foul at the buzzer.  But I enjoyed watching the smallest girl on the court.  She was a guard for UConn.  Freshman.  I think she scored more than twenty points.  Pretty impressive, so I was happy for her.  Actually, those two teams were so closely matched that if they played three games, one team would win two of them.  (Huh?)  Finally we watched the Baylor guys.  Arkansas made an impressive run and kept the game way closer than it should have been, but Baylor pulled it out in the end.  They get to go to the final four for the first time since I don’t know when.  Now they play Houston for the right to play what most likely promises to be Gonzaga from the other bracket.  Gotta love this time of year.

 

Romans 5:8 says, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

 

Father, please be with all the Easter prep going on this week.  In the end, may it all be about you.  Amen.
