Time Flies

I would like to delude myself into thinking people might be interested in the routine of my life. Humor me.

Last Friday I taught my class in the morning, worked in the office all afternoon, left work a little early and drove to Hixon Tennessee to attend a Perry Stone revival service with my brother, his wife, and her father. On Saturday I drove down to Cartersville, Georgia to spend the afternoon with the young adults from our church who were on a retreat. Before leaving town I had stopped by the flooring store to pick up samples for the church and on the return I stopped by a hospital in Chattanooga for a pastoral visit. Sunday was church with a church conference before the evening service. Monday was spent in faculty meetings all day (8:15 to 4:30), including lunch. Cheryl left for Atlanta last evening. I put out a roll of hay for the horses and cows. Today, I taught Cheryl's class, tried to catch up at work with a hospital visit and allergy shots thrown in. This evening I moved the cows and horses to the wooded area to keep them from over grazing the pasture and I walked the fence looking for where it might be grounded (it turns out the problem is a bad fuse). Tomorrow, I'm driving down to Atlanta to hear Cheryl's second lecture. Thursday I'll teach Cheryl's class and Cheryl comes home. Friday I will teach my class and Karisa, Alethea, Camdyn, and Charlie arrive.

I do exercise first thing every morning for thirty to forty minutes. I typically have cheerios for breakfast except on Saturdays when I usually fix pancakes. I occasionally write for my blog, read for work, grade papers, work on accreditation reports, have staff meetings, have deacons meetings, have elders meetings, do pastoral counseling, attend community meetings, etc. My current favorite project is developing some Bible studies for families. The first is an expansion of a catechism I first wrote before Alethea was baptized and the second will before families with younger children. My goal is to develop these for online use, but they will first appear on a blog.
