It's funny how things stack up when you've been out of town.
While we were gone, our large order of printed materials for the church was completed, our church t-shirts were ready, and so were our coozies for handing out to people. We figure it is time to full on embrace the image we have as "church in a bar" with the coozie thing. All these things were picked up before noon today, after dropping off the kids at MDO while Kristin was at teacher orientation.
I also chose to begin work on an aspen log lamp- from an aspen log we picked up in Colorado. Turns out we had enough log for three lamps, but only enough wiring for one. So, eventually, there will be three. Nevertheless, it is hard to cut a six inch in diameter log- knots and all- with a circular saw. But I did it anyway. And I still have all my fingers and toes. And no stitches or even bandages.
Other things stack up as well. Namely, laundry. But I'd rather not talk about that.
It's funny how things in general stack up, towers of wobbly desires and fears and aspirations- and they block the enjoyment of the moment. In the midst of the errands, I found enjoyment in the moments of listening to a great CD, of working with my hands, and of being thankful for the peace of the place I am now.
Life is to be lived- not waded through. So, even when it's the mundane stuff, try to find the joy of the day.
