On this Saturday I have:
- fed dogs and cats
- put items Baby cat peed on to soak in Nature’s Miracle
- eaten oatmeal for breakfast
- contemplated my sermon
On this Saturday I do:
- await the arrival of the Domestic Goddess
- anticipate the Spring Break homecoming of #1 Son
- prepare for the visit of Dos and her parents, the latter flying into Beantown Airport later today
- consider the meal we will all share later
On this Saturday I must:
- make a meal happen
- write a sermon
- make sure the dogs get exercised
- entertain guests
- do a further load of cat pee laundry
On this Saturday I am:
- still a bit under the weather
- eager to see #1 Son
- appreciative of sunshine
- hoping I can muster enough energy to pull things together
- worried that my inability to write anything other than bullet lists and haiku may not bode well for tomorrow’s sermon

I don’t know…the congregtion might appreciate a sermon in bullet points for once….You could put them all up and then invite them to arrange them in a spiritually helpful order perhaps…?

we’re in the same sermon boat – i’m so far behind I’m contemplating an “all hymns” service for tomorrow. The fam leaves for a short vacation in a little while – then just me and the dogs, mountains of laundry, and a blank computer screen (AND three crafting projects and rented DVD’s to tempt me!) Happy Writing et.al.!

I dunno, Songbird. A haiku sermon might be just the thing–it might sound really prophetic.
Pastor recovers
Just in time to do sermon
Haiku to rescue?

Our pastor did a hymn sing for one of her sermons. We loved it – lucky people got to yell out their favorite hymns,and we sang one verse of each. I guess if you do that though, your organist has to be a really good sport. Hope you feel better, and I hope you can accomplish what’s on your list. How about take out for dinner? Praying for you!

Hi, it’s the me, as usual with an off-topic comment. Did you get a KITTEN? Is it possible I could have missed that? Or is that pee-er one of the usual suspects?
Hope you’re having a nice time with teh company.
Love,
