In my mind, this is what normal people do on a Sunday—wake up, lie around for a while, have a leisurely breakfast, read the paper, maybe mosey on to a house of worship if that’s their cup of tea. We got to be normal today, and it was great. Today was youth Sunday and senior pastor didn’t think we both needed to be there, so I got the morning off. Some churches give their pastors a Sunday or two off during the year, in addition to vacation, for the purpose of attending another service of worship. It’s nice just to be a person in the pews. It’s nice not to have to leave the house at 7:30 in the morning and it’s nice to be home before 1:30.

In fact, between this coming weekend’s CG trip and a conference and vacation in June, I will only be at church two weekends out of the next six. I might like it too much to go back!

We had a social weekend too—had a couple over for dinner on Friday (we graduated from the same seminary, although no overlap), and it was fun to see C with their son, who’s 6 months younger. Then tonight we had an early bite with Dickie! That would be blogger meeting #4 for me. I am really into the meeting bloggers thing, it is great fun and I haven’t been disappointed yet. Very nice guy, and willing to eat dinner ridiculously early so I could attend a 7:30 meeting.

Here’s a stale news event—Finding Neverland is a lovely movie. You should go out and see it. That is, stay in and rent it. That is, if there’s actually anyone out there who’s even less current than we are.

Here are some new google searches. I get numerous searches for variations on
