Crazy

My own neurosis is made more evident when weekends like this occur. All at the same time I have these feelings:

  • I don't want to cancel church because I've worked hard to prepare for this week's service.
  • It would be nice to cancel church because I've worked hard to prepare and wouldn't mind sleeping in.
  • I hate canceling church because then it seems like the devil wins.
  • Church got canceled because God didn't put a force field around Anne Arundel County, He's ok with the church being closed.
  • Well, maybe I should email a devotion, or record my sermon and post it on the web.
  • Maybe I should go shovel the side walk again.
  • Well, at least if AACC closes, then I can blame it on them.
  • There's already ten inches of snow and the college hasn't closed, they should. This is ridiculous.
  • Ok, that's it. I'm calling it off even though AACC hasn't. Well, maybe I'll call them first.
  • Campus is closed. Good call Public Safety. But I had a really good message planned.
  • Maybe I should invite people to get together at my house.
  • I really should go shovel the sidewalk again.
  • No, we just need to be closed.
  • Send twitter on Benrainey account
  • Send twitter on SRCband acount
  • Send twitter on SevernRiver account
  • Blog closing. (Also posts to twitter and facebook)
  • Email closing. (Send 68, 31 read)
  • Change website (misspell Chirstmas)
  • Deep breath
  • Tell my wife church is canceled and she looks at me and says, "No kidding!?!"
  • Sunday morning I shovel for over four hours to dig my sidewalks and driveway out. I say to my neighbor, "Yeah, my Boss gave me the day off." He laughs. My other neighbor calls me Rabbi.
  • Maybe I should have slept in.
  • I wish we hadn't canceled church.

not neurosis, that's normal

I'm surprised your list is not longer. BTW, I was thinking you should go ahead and record the sermon this morning at dialysis.

The "my boss gave me the day off" comment cracked us up. Good stuff
