They say that an idle mind is the Devil’s workshop…..so thank God I am not competent enough to have any idle time!  I have spent ALL DAY with our copy machine and my computer getting all sorts of things done to complete our Lenten Program, which incidentally you can find online at www.StMichaelAnglican.com/lent-2012/

But at times, I wish I could get into at least a little trouble.  As a young man I lived there, yet as a middle-aged man I guess I am feeling a bit dull.  Sure, I do important work, and it is work I truly and honestly believe in……but now I find that I am really quite predictable…..slow and steady, always prone to the right thing….yep, boring!    And somehow I wonder how I got here. I suppose I should admit that I know that from here I am not intended to leave. I just am always reminded of the prayer of St. Augustine that I used to have on my door at seminary…..”Lord make me goo, but not yet.”  (Yes, I know the translation here is weak).

But I am now in bed, just before 9pm, and tomorrow will come soon enough.  Yee ha, hang em high as they say.  As my older kids are just heading out, I am calling it a day.

I just might be ripping off a few tags from my mattresses in my dreams.  I know, settle down.

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
