Nothing like only five words to get that really annoying, I-could-never-actually-get-all-the-hand-motions-correct-because-it-was-too-fast camp song stuck in my head.
I was thinking about my day. Thinking about how it’s on days like this that I get NOTHING done. I came home from church around 6pm and had very little productive to show for my day.
On a day like this, I checked nothing off of my weekly to-do list. My list – which I compile every Monday morning and add to/work off of steadily through the week – is surprisingly short this week but still. No sermon written. No confirmation planned. No hymns chosen today.
But it’s on days like this that I love my job. I did work today, really, I did. The day included a staff meeting – always enjoyable. Thinking about VBS (or VeeeBeeeS according to Kendall) – an activity which will happily occupy my every day until June 16th, the fourth and last day of the summer program. Brainstorming a summer sermon series to possibly include a popular television theme song rewritten for stewardship purposes. I love planning like this.
Days like these are good days – big-picture days, brainstorming days, dreaming-about-what-is-to-come days – but I can’t have too many of them in close proximity to the others. A sermon will need to be written. Hymns chosen. Confirmation taught. Visits made. I love my job pretty much every day but especially on a day like this.
there's no place like gnome.
