Sunday, what can you say?

The best part about 1:00 church is the sleeping in. I love to sleep in. Justin made breakfast of french toast. I love french toast. Then we had a short meeting at 11:00 and then we finished getting ready for church. Church was pretty normal. One of the talks really seemed to resonate with me. Yes, I actually paid attention to one. The quote about the Lord being aware of me. I sometimes forget that He is aware of me too. I have no doubt he is aware of everyone else, but ME? Well, it is part of that pity party I expressed before. I have to be reminded occasionally that I have worth too, and that I am not on my own in this vast world. I get caught up in the day-to-day things. Justin will do some reminding. He is a bit more blunt about telling me to stop wallowing.

I know the best way to do that is to serve others. I stay busy, but I don't know that I am selflessly serving others. My career choice forces me to serve my students, but it is the spirit of the service that brings the joy. Don't get me wrong; I do have rewarding days, and I genuinely care about my students and whether or not they are successful. I do, however, get wrapped up in the expected responsibilities.

I am going to work on being positive with my blog here. I don't want to leave a trail of tears in the wake of my woes. Well, I don't want to depress anyone if not make them cry.  For those that know me, I am all about the laughter.

So what was it today that made me laugh? Well, there was some rather funny posts on Facebook. Some cannot be repeated though. Yes, I am guilty of laughing at potty humor. I did teach junior high for ten years. It rubs off, okay?

Okay, my friends make me laugh. Justin was standing by one of our friends at church while she was struggling to control the wiggly little boy in her lap. She finally just handed him to Justin, and the look on Justin's face was priceless, but he did his job. He was great for Justin and settled down. Maybe not funny, but cute.

Justin's two cents:

Church was good, but oh man, the Patriots won today, yuck!  Oh well, being a Steelers fan I really don't care for Baltimore either.  I am still holding out hope for the 49rs and a fellow Ute, Alex Smith.  Right now they are stuck in OT with the Giants.  Nice day overall however, I love the Sabbath because you are encouraged to rest and resting I have been doing.  

Justin isn't a man of many words, but when he gets going . . . there's no stopping him.
