I woke up really late today as I've been doing frequently as I try to shake this cough I have without resorting to any serious medicine or doctor visit. I'm enjoying the benefits of sleep for sure. Lots of things have changed. My drives in and out of the city are so much more enjoyable because I'm so alert and have no fear of feeling the exhaustion or nodding off. The winter was a little tough for moments like that. I'll have to admit coffee got me home many a night. That and sometimes turning the music way down and praying or talking out loud to God. Other benefits are that I can fully enjoy the sermons at church and hang on every word as I did when I first began going. Today's sermon was another one that hit right on the money with the times and what everyone is feeling. Cyril even got some applause when he was finished. I know I was feeling it. It was about urgency vs importance. This is something you hear me talk about quite a little bit. I tend to be one that deals with urgent matters quite readily but slacks a little when it comes to the important things that can wait a little while longer. I'm one of those people that puts out fires. It's something that I definitely want to change. Working on longterm important goals is going to come into play really really soon.
Anyway, I was talking about how I woke up late. It was probably 1:30pm. Terrible I know but I think I had fallen back to sleep 2 times after initially waking up. I think I had 3 completely separate dreams and all made me think. Of course I can't even remember what they were now but they did set a mood for the day. I didn't have my regular slow morning, I was able to have breakfast, enjoy it, clean the bathroom (some of it at least), have a shower and get out the door for church early. I figured I might get a little traffic because of the 2009 pride parade but there wasn't any. It allowed me time to grab a coffee before service, plant myself up on the balcony early enough and enjoy the band playing a little before service even began. After service, I went out for some food with great people and now I'm home. I did make a stop at another coffee shop on the way home for some dessert and another coffee while I worked on some priorities for the week and the next month. But essentially, the day was all about church. I still can't think of another time when Sundays have been as rich, as open and as fulfilling. It was also super nice today to be able to sing at church. Because of my cough, I've been somewhat hindered. Though I felt a little tickle in my throat today, it wasn't anything that could stop me. Very cool.
I agree this is a much different post than mine of last week. I haven't re-read it but I hope I wasn't at all harsh about the experience of bringing my friend to ft. There will likely be another time he'll come out. I can already say that the sound is sounding a million times better. As I was told by a good friend today, God will likely sort it out with him in time. I do believe this.
Anyway, it's not too late so I'm going to shut down a little bit early, watch a movie, let the week run processing in the background and get some more photos processed.
I really hope other people are enjoying their Sundays as much as I am.
Peace, love, rock and don't forget pride to all,
J
