NORMALIZING

After a busy weekend, I'm trying to re-normalize life.

Convention was busy, as usual, but not bad. It was up in Great Falls. I had never driven there from here, and it was a lovely drive. Lots of curves!

Our conventions are relatively uneventful. We don't have alot of resolutions to consider. We fill most of Saturday with various seminars for people to attend. This year we had seminars on finances, prayer, mission planning, and lay ministry.

Between a couple of seminars, an impromptu meeting amongs clergy of assisted congregations, the business meeting, and conversations late into the night, I was definitely ready to spend Monday in bed.

Unfortunately that didn't/couldn't happen. Sunday night was restless (not to mention depressing what with the Seahawks getting blasted by the Bears). Monday was a full day of recovery, hymn selection, a home communion, prepping for Soup & Scripture tonight, other office stuff and my monthly bar visit to The Mill Creek Tavern.

I slept better last night, and after breakfast took a nap until about 9:45. I'll be in the office later today to start sermon work, a little finalizing of Soup & Scripture and also getting ready for the vestry meeting tonight.

Just a normal day for a not-so-normal guy.
