Just to let you know, today is a much better day so far. Some days are just not the easiest to endure but when you hang in there life can get better. Too often we just resign our lives to the ruts without moving forward. But be clear on this one thing. There are times moving forward demands we hang on without giving up. Some people don't get that idea. If they are not always surging ahead then they feel like failures. That is just not true. Read the Psalms and notice how often David speaks of just trying to hold on in the midst of pressure. If it's good enough for David it can be enough for us.

So today there was a wedding here. One of my favorite people walked in a few weeks ago and asked me to marry him. I had to break it to him that I was already married. Wasn't quite what he had in mind! He and his bride came in today looking very happy. We walked down to the auditorium for the ceremony. The bride will be moving down from Oklahoma soon. We talked about her moving into the unique area of East Texas. As we moved into the ceremony the back door opened up. Here came two of our guys carrying a ladder to do some work in the building. Only in East Texas can that happen! We carried on after that moment to a happy conclusion. Husband and wife are off for their honeymoon now.

Now its the return to the usual work. There is reading to be done. Sunday approaches fast and waits on no man. Before long there will be a house full of kids to liven up the place. Tonight I return to run the clock for basketball games. Let's hope the games this week are much better than last. My back feels much better but I will probably still wear the patch with the icy hot goop on it. Should keep flies away at least.

Yes, each day is the day the Lord makes. Granted that some may not be quite as interesting as others but it is still His day. If all you can do today is hang in there then do it will all your might. If today is a wonderful day then envelop yourself in it. You may not always get ladder carrying men in the midst of a wedding but you may find something special in it. That's my hope for you today.
