Ah, bet you thought there would be no blog post for today. We may be running behind schedule but there is still time for one. The day finally slowed down some now that it is quiet in the evening. This may be a post that rambles but it is for sure one for today! If this rambles then it pretty much is par for the week. I think rambling would be a perfect description of the week. It rambled.

Let me hurry before I lose you even more. This is just one of those weeks that came apart before it even began. It's an example of why I said that I don't try to detail my schedule to every minute. My hope is that it was a good week along the way. There was a death that took the week in a new direction. We have a few who are ill or dealing with other physical ailments. We are also trying to pull together our 40 Days of Love event that is coming soon. Add to all of this the usual demands for study in preparation for the times I speak. Now do not read this as a complaint. It is far from being negative or swimming in self pity. It is just reality.

We all face days, weeks, or even longer times facing these upheavals. Life is not always what we plan. Sometimes life is what happens while we are occupied with making plans. How we deal with the weirdness of life reflects on how anchored we are in the faith. For example, one night this week I tried to go to the store. It took me longer because when I went to pull onto our street I had to wait for cows to cross! This was very peculiar. Even living in Texas it is not everyday a herd of cows meander across your residential street. All I could do was wait and soak up the moment of bovine behavior.

This is about enough rambling for one night. Now all I need to do is get my head together before Sunday. Seeing as that hasn't happened in my 47 years the odds are not good. My encouragement to you with all of this is to just let life happen sometimes. God may be doing His thing even if it isn't on your schedule. Keep your head together as well as your faith to see just how it comes together.
