The weekend was fun! On Saturday, I got certified in CPR/AED, then wrote up a study on Luther and Lutheranism. On Sunday, I taught that class. My son, Jeffrey, played bass in the “home” church band for the first time and did really well. The afternoon was pizza, football, TV, and listening to a very squeaky elliptical machine. I tried to lubricate it and tighten it, but I guess I’m going to have to disassemble it and reassemble it. That squeak is more annoying than small noisy children! The evening was spent with Brandi – first doing some stick-shift practice (she drove on some streets tonight and didn’t get us killed – I’m so proud!), then she looked through our family vacation photos.
Today was a long work day, but a good day. I learned many new “simulation” skills. I’m not a designer, so I was a little (a lot) past my level of competence but by the end of the day, I had output. God was also good to me: I drove as fast as I wanted to on the way home during the peak of rush hour, and every lane change decision I made was the correct one. How often does that happen? Tonight: final discussion and prayer on our pastor candidates. This Sunday, we recommend a pastor to the congregation, and hope they call him… and then we hope he comes!
