Double Days

Church was wonderful yesterday. The Sunday School lesson was on Baptism (second week in a row, but well needed to cover everything) and the sermon was on prayer. Both were presented with such straightforward simplicity I felt even a child would understand. Yet they were such vital lessons. I loved them. They were having a church wide Super Bowl party that afternoon, but I am not into football so opted out of that.

I did some shopping after church and was tired when I got home. After everything was put away, I watched The Closer on TV. TNT was showing episodes of the show all day. So, there I sat, show after show. Perseverance. Dr. Shutz calls it "Fly Paper Brain." What I call "Flooding," (being cognitively overwhelmed and unable to process) he calls "Fish Brain." Very descriptive.

I wasted the rest of my day in front of the tube. Richard and half the folks in the known world were engrossed in the Super Bowl. At least they had planned to spend their time thus occupied. I just sort of slid into zombihood.

Today, however, was a very productive day as was Saturday. Had three good long prayer times since I drove about an hour and a half of my day. I am now able to pray while I drive. Early on, after the injury, I was afraid to do that for fear of not being attentive enough on the road and traffic.

Our daughter Kim will be here from Denver next Sunday and I am really getting excited. I need to call her as well as Athena to coordinate what we all want to do and when. I am also looking forward to our family reunion. Athena is the coordinator this year.

We're going to Tampa to sightsee tomorrow so I will probably not do a blog.
