Learn to Sleep

I've got to sleep. Last night I payed a high price for staying up late. I was so incapacitated at work today it was rediculous. I didn't work a full day though. I had to go to church and get the details worked out for the 31st. On that day I will be leading worship for the church service, and I'm probably going to end up doing it alone. Nobody seems available this summer to do anything, but that's cool. I'm prepared to do it alone. While I was there I recorded a rough draft of my new song. It was good to put together, but I was limited to my resources so it didn't sound fabulous. I'm excited to play it for the church though. It's been almost five years since I last had the opportunity to play one of my own songs for the church.

Tonight I plan on hitting the pillow a little earlier. I was out not too long with the Hengevelds again at Liberty. The kids were there and the boys wanted to play slaps with me. I played both of them for an hour and ten minutes. They were resilliant, but i'm almost twice their age so there wasn't much competition for me. I considered it more of a training for them, but after that period of time ran out, I was tired and wanted to go home while Luke wanted to hang on for another 5 minutes. I hit him twice full strength and he was done after that. I often times put myself in the shoes of kids like that. I remember how I felt when people my age payed attention to me. I felt special. I assure you this though. Those guys are now the best. If they could stay in the ring with me for 30 minutes of constant and hard slapping, then they should be fine among their peers. It gives me a sense of satisfaction. I think I will take Dave Annan up on the invitation to help with sports camp next week. I remember the first youth activity I ever did at my church was sports camp. I remember looking up to the guys who were leading it that were my age now at the time. I'm only good at fighting and swimming which aren't really any of the options for camp, but I'll do my best.

Anyways, I'm out for the night folks. Live richly in Christ and his blessings. Focus on him and not yourself. Learn to be satisfied in everything. Peace and love.
