so I'm finally off, on a day I don't have to be at work or anywhere, and I'm up at 6 a.m. Can't sleep. Watched Batman Begins last night, went to bed early (for me...about 11:30 pm), I think that's my problem I'm used to working late then going to bed around 2 a.m. It's tough being a Night Owl, AND a morning person. It's like having two personalities. Someone asked me if I had a split personality.
I said "no...and yes."
Yesterday was interesting. We went outside in the afternoon to cut the grass. My wife got on the riding mower to get started and I grabbed the weed-eater. She noted that we were nearly out of gas, but had enough to get started, so I decided to take the spare gas cans into town to pick up some more fuel. By the time I got back, she ran out, so I started refilling it. I apparently wasn't moving fast enough, so my wife and son took over pouring. They poured so fast, in fact, they over-filled it and poured gas on the side of the mower. No big deal, we just wiped it dry and let it sit for a while during which time I'll weed-eat. So by the time the mower was safe to use, my wife was working at dusk trying to beat the clock.
We almost beat it. I got the front and side trimmed, while she mowed the front, side, and part of the other side. We'll finish the back today, after it cools down.
The only other thing going on is I'm pumped about the ministry I'm about to join. Our church has an audio/video team that's about to take the ministry to the HNL.
If you're unsure what that is, I'll fill you in: a Hole Nuther Level.
I did camera work with our broadcast team back in Memphis, but haven't done work like that in a few years. So I'm real excited to be part of a team that makes and edits sermon videos for the world to watch for free on the Internet. I have a real heart for the technical aspects of ministry, as I'm not comfortable speaking in front of people, but enjoy the "bells and whistles" and behind-the-scenes stuff. I'm just wired like that. I'm a geek at heart, but I don't believe that's a bad thing. The world needs geeks.
