Summer Slump

You know, it's real easy to fall into the supposed "summer slump." School's out, friends are gone home, and there's the glaring realization that you need something to occupy your time. And why not make money while doing it? So you get a summer job and realize...you're their property until school comes a'callin so they'll spit you back out to school. But for now, they favor your taste. Allegorically speaking, they swish you around in their mouth to get the full flavor like some wine taster. It's a real thrill.

Where have all those church members gone? Vacation here and time off there. Eh, much deserved I'm sure. It's just the church auditorium seems a lot bigger now.

I can't stand the television. I can't stand the internet. But just take a wild guess as to what I'm doing right now...

But if there's one good thing about this, I get to grow my facial hair...until I have to do something in front of the church then it's bye-bye peach fuzz.

I still have a desire to be sitting at a round table with 9-15 of the goofiest people I've ever met in the heart of what we like to call "The Great Hall." Each thought drives your further and further into a depression. A text message helps some. A phone call is better. A visit will revive those kindred spirits. But until then, there's still that slump...

I love the summer :D

Never Take Mom For Granted

I'm sitting here eating some blueberry muffins, sipping on some coffee, and ready to go to work where around 12-1 pm I will open up my lunch that my mother made for me. Now, a small thing right? But I think about her doing this everyday for 21 years, and that's just in my lifetime. And no, not making muffins, coffee, and my lunch everyday but just being mom. I owe a lot to her. So much that I cannot repay in my remaining lifetime.

Don't take your mother for granted. Yes, we're not perfect and we'll remind them of that like I do at times but love your mother.

Random, but worth saying.
