A rest day


My fellow pastor, Brent, blogged this morning that he was taking a much needed day of rest. I loved his choices for the day. I think I will do the same, except for the football thing...not a big football fan, sorry. Maybe, for me, a little yard work, some time to wander down a quiet path in my mind and not think of anything for a while, a nice lunch at TGI Fridays, dinner with our grand-daughters (oh, and their parents too), and some reading. I, like Brent, have been so busy I really have to "plan" rest, I've almost forgotten how to do it...but I think I can figure it out. Hope you get some time to wander down quiet paths today as well.

  3. Day of rest...what's that? I think I've forgotten. Seems like our "days off" include a whole lot of Marcus band! Off to Arlington to watch them perform...

  5. Mike I just randomly got to your blog after being on the internet for a while, avoiding homework (i'm at texas A&M) and was reminded of how i was going to tell you this a long time ago after one of your sermons and never got a chance or maybe just never did- but you are one of my favorite teachers =)
    I really love the way God speaks through you. God has really gifted you (and i'm sure you already know that). But it's really special and i just wanted you to know that. I wish i could be there tomorrow, but I'll be here in College Station. Have a wonderful day =)
