But not this day!

Some time ago, I kind of got convicted about doing too much hard work on Sundays. This arose out of my reading the Old Testament, and the commands therein for resting on the seventh day and all. I realized that God did kind of know what he was talking about... we need rest, and to not drive ourselves into the ground all seven days of the week.

So, I told my wife that I was going to start taking it easier on Sundays. Light work around the house as needed to keep the ship running, but no major projects or hard work.

Well, as Aragorn said to the Men of Gondor before the gates of Mordor (in the movie).... But not THIS day!

There was just too much going on right now, and I have to do some of these things around the yard before the weeds and such take over and start ordering pizza on my debit card. They've invited enough friends over as it is! The day was only complicated by the need to utilize a neighbor and his truck to go pick up our new barbeque grill at the hardware store. The grill, when assembled, will not fit in the back of our van even with the seat removed, and this was the only day I could mooch off on someone else's pickup.

So, I fell into bed exhausted last night. Which only further proves that God really did have a good idea. Sundays should not be filled like this :(
