What Did You Do With Your Day Off?


I make so secret about my regard for a day off. In the profession I'm in, a day off is a necessity and it falls to each pastor to guard his own time. Like everyone else in the world if you don't have a plan for your schedule, someone else does.

Last night a friend from the church asked what I had done with my day off. So I recounted the day. I had hoped to work on a bearing problem on my jeep. But the rain precluded me from that, which left more time with my girls. It was unlike many recent weeks in that Corie had off from substituting at school. So the whole family went shopping. Yay!! (not really.)

But if I had to shop this was the way I like to do it. I'll fill you in on my shopping plan. First, go to Arundel Mills. Second, drop Corie off in a store shopping, and say to the girls, "Hey who wants to go see the fish?". Third spend thirty to forty minutes in Bass Pro watching the fish swim around in the giant tank, then look at all the stuffed game from around the world, wonder by the gun racks to see if your friend is working. These are my secrets to dealing with shopping.

Thanks! I'll talk to Kevin about it, I know Holly would love it too. I was actually asking because I had told a mom from Holly's dance class, who lives down there, about SRC and the egg hunt. Then I wanted to make sure I wasn't false advertising! I hope they come too.
