Random Musings

It has been a while since I have posted anything. There are multiple reasons for this some technical, some professional and some personal. But in spite of the silence online my mind still spins like a dryer.

Our church has a server which is connected to all the PC's. Well when the server goes down it pretty much mucks everything. When our intrepid technician got Avery thing back up and running. I discovered all my files were gone. They weren't gone, they were just hiding. All my iTunes were hiding. I was assured they were there indeed there just not there. The long and short of it was that I needed a new profile which means I have rebuild everything all over again. My fuiles are back, my tunes are back. They are just all jumbled up.

Gas is now $4.06 a gallon. And what is really crazy is that gas is now higher than cigarettes. Gas is more than milk. We know it will be the end of the world when gas costs more than Starbucks.

All my sons are out of High School. I am done with the public school system. I have dealt with those systems since 1988. The high school graduation ceremony is a combination of a sprint and marathon. It is a sprint because they do everything they can to get out of the thing in under 90 minutes. No invited speakers. Limited music. it is marathon because they have to read over 900 names. I believe that perfect size of a high school is 600 students.

I cannot remember a time in my ministry when I have been more tired. Not exhausted, not sleepy, not down, just weary, almost flat at times. It is like the mileage has caught up with me. So I am spending more time praying and reading and listening. Not worried or whiny, just more quiet. I am fairly noisy most of the time so this catches some people off guard.

Catch you later!

Milk is cheap in your neck of the woods! I pay $3.00 for a 1/2 gallon of the organic/hormone-free stuff. :-)

I just wanted to drop off a note of encouragement. I understand the quietness brought about by stressful thoughts. Journaling helps. Really. The quicker you get whatever it is out of your head and permanently recorded somewhere - or rather, not-so-permanently as may be your case ;-) - the less spinny your brain is.
