I started off my day working at the computer. Wish I could have stayed there. The next destination was … new tires and an alignment for our car. Ouch. Bad news is they are really proud of new tires and all it takes to get them road ready. Good news is they took the car right in and had it ready in less than two hours.
Next
I went to the clinic where they are doing Covid vaccine shots. The chatter among those waiting the required
ten or fifteen minutes after their shots was quite entertaining. My two favorites came from two different guys
talking on their telephones … loudly.
One
was reassuring whoever was on the other end of the line: “No. We got the good stuff. From Pfizer.”
Guess that guy should be in one of their TV commercials.
The
other was talking to his wife, explaining why it was taking so long: “No,
honey. I already got the shot. Now I have to sit here like a rotisserie
chicken to see if I fall out.” Loads of
fun …
While
I was out, I went to Randall’s to pick up some prescriptions. The one for me was nose spray for my allergies. The one for Chris, however, was a new one
they wanted to try that isn’t supposed to mess with her liver. I guess the “Don’t Mess with the Liver” tag
is what makes it so expensive. It sure
better work.
Got
a text from Chris on my way home. A
neighbor needed me to help jump his truck.
Dead battery. This is the same
neighbor who helped me jump our truck a while back. Sure enough, as I rounded the corner into the
subdivision, there he was in the street, waving me down. His truck started right up, fortunately. He was headed right out to get a
replacement. He asked how long batteries
are supposed to last. As it so happened,
I had just asked that question when I bought my last battery. Apparently they last either one or three
years. No more five-year
guarantees.
After
a trip to WalMart for bananas and some props for the sermon on Sunday, I sat
down to create again. This time I had to
figure out how to create an event on FaceBook.
I have done it before, but not in a year or so. Oh, what event? Easter Sunrise Service on the beach at 6:30
a.m. on Jamaica Beach just down from the church. (Baptisms are happening. Let me know if you want to be baptized). Breakfast afterwards (Bring some food
to share. There will probably be a lot
of people to feed). Then an Easter
egg hunt for the kids. Then regular Easter
Sunday worship at ten. Spread the word …
Mark
16:15 says, “He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel
to all creation.’”
Father,
thank you for safe cars and good neighbors and medications and bananas and …
Easter. Amen.
