Makin' up for lost time...
1. I can't get the new house outta my head. Not that I'm really trying. I mean, I know it's not ours yet... and I know that the odds of it becoming ours are slim to none. But the artist in me can't help but paint the walls, lay out the furniture and assign everyone their own spaces (today, I gave Mabry the bigger bedroom). I'd like to give myself a break... if for no other reason than I'll be left miserable when it's all over and we're still here. But I've never been good at shutting down my imagination.
2. I talked to Kent today. Told him that if he needed me to fill-in for absent singers on the other team, that I'd be more than happy to help. Told him that if we're short too many singers to keep up the every other month schedule, that I'd be happy to come back full-time... even if I were the only one serving full-time. Jeff, too. This seemed to bring relief to Kent's face. I feel like it's a step in the "leadership as God's prescription" direction. We'll see what happens.
3. The house is really, really messy right now. I mean really. Tomorrow needs to be spent getting it back in order. Today, I actually thought about going ahead and getting some nice boxes from the U-Haul place and starting to pack the things that I don't need. That way, when we do move, I'll have a lot of the packing done. I have whole rooms that could be shoved in boxes right now and never be missed. It seems like a good idea... unless months later we're still here and I'm surrounded by cardboard.
