Too Pooped to Pop Back to work today. It was a good day, but after a week of staying up late and getting up late, I was definitely out of sink. By 3:00 I was ready for a nap! The day almost didn�t happen. I listened to the news this morning waiting for them to cancel school. The snow was covering the grass and it looked like it would get a lot worse. No cancellation came, so off I went. It ended up turning to all rain for the most part. The interior got it much worse. As I said, it was a good day. The phone rang almost constantly, but it wasn�t bad. Mostly just routine calls, people coming in to pay their rent and the occasional tenant dropping by to see how our holiday went. Nice enough. We still had a ton of cookies and candy left over. I�m sure the sugar is adding to my tiredness. I�m sitting here now at 7:00 ready for bed. I am so sleepy. It will definitely be an early night for me. Thankfully, the DVR will record out Law & Order SVU for us and we can watch it tomorrow night. Movie Alert! If you haven�t yet seen �Along Came Polly�, go rent it. It is funny in a wacky sort of way. I got this in my e-mail tonight. I thought it was cute. Not what it appears.......As a young minister, I was asked by a funeral director to hold a grave side service in a new cemetery for a derelict man (with no family or friends) who had died while traveling through the area. The funeral was to be held way back in the country at a new cemetery. This man would be the first to be laid to rest at this new cemetery. As I was not familiar with the >>> backwoods area, I became lost. Being the typical man I didn't stop for directions. When I finally arrived an hour late, I saw a crew and a backhoe, but the hearse was nowhere in sight. The workmen were eating lunch. I apologized for my tardiness, but the workers just looked puzzled. I stepped to the side of the open grave, to find the vault lid already in place. I assured the workers I would not hold them long, but this was the proper thing to do. As the workers gathered around, still eating their lunch. I poured out my heart and soul. As I preached, the workers began to say "Amen," "Praise the Lord and Glory,". I preached, and I preached, like I'd never preached before. I began from Genesis and worked all the way through to Revelation. I preached for 45 minutes. It was a long service. Finally, I closed in prayer and it was finished. As I was walking to my car, I felt that I had done my duty and I would leave with a renewed sense of purpose and dedication, in spite of my tardiness. As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I overheard one of the workers saying to another. "I've been putting in septic tanks for 20 years, and I ain't never seen anything like that before." |
