On last Monday I set out for Bible Study with my favorite group of young adults. This week was a little bit different in that I was taping the Bible Study for my Ordination Requirements. The Study was fine and everyone was agreeable to participate as if the film was not rolling.
Tuesday night I was in the process of transferring the tape to the computer. As I was capturing the video I became sick to my stomach because something had gone wrong with the tape itself. Of course the first couple of minutes were all right because that was the portion of the video i looked at to see that everything was going as planned. But about 7 minutes into the capture there was all kinds of “digital artifacting” which is a fancy term for “unusable.”
Wednesday a filling popped out and so Thursday I spent hours at a new dentist getting it fixed up. Friday and Saturday were spent driving back and forth with Katie to a wedding in Annapolis. It was great to spend time with Katie, just a lot of time in the car.
As I begin this week, I am looking at doing it at a slower pace. I have to tape the bible study again, and I have to get worship ready because a person of the Board of Ordained Ministry called and said they would like to come this weekend. Throw in a couple of other meetings and a day with the bishop and the week is packed. But I am determined not to let my devo time slip or my reflection time evaporate as it has on the blog in past weeks.
I am longing for normalcy and routine and I am determined to make it happen this week. I am excited about worship this weekend because we are talking about passionate worship and giving out Bibles to our 4th graders and it is going to be a blast. So with that I am going to leave to do some work but this post has been a nice little break. 🙂
Ask me how my goals are coming along on Thursday or Friday.
