Thursday a.m.

Clearly they are

Hey, good morning! What this? There may be school today? At the regular time?? No call yet, so it's looking that way. After nearly 3 weeks off, I think, as hard as it will be to go, most everybody needs to get going again and probably kinda wants to. Most of us long for some kind of routine, a routine that we look forward to vacating later on. Such is life.

I have tried to get back into a routine this week and have been fairly successful. Most of us have some kind of connection to schools, and it's clear to me the rhythm of the schools has a big impact on all of the local culture.

By the way, I can NEVER spell rhythm right. I always have to look it up, which now involves simply doing a Google search with my attempts at the word. Then Google asks me, "Did you mean: rhythm?" Well, why, yes, I did mean that. Thank you for helping me out, Google.

OK, clearly I am feeling a bit goofy this morning. I am hoping this a good sign for sermon prep. Hmm, that doesn't sound very good, does it? Oh well, I am going to be living the Joseph story this morning. It is such a great story. Things so often look so bleak for Joe, but the whole time God is working silently in the background in a powerfully redemptive way. Yes, that will preach.

Got a good 5 miler in yesterday during my lunch hour, and I hope to crank out another 5 later in the day today. I don't think I will spin today, but you never know. I need to work on core and upper body strength. I really really need to do that.

I hope you have a good day!
