Thursday’s Thirst
How many years has it been since we have had weather like this on a Memorial Day weekend? My childhood memories of the 4th weekend in May center around camping in wet and cold state parks. Yet, in spite of the weather, all the memories are fond … Memorial Day meant that summer was right around the corner.
Generally speaking, I use Sunday afternoon through Monday morning for recovery and reflection. A little relaxation with food and beverage … getting my head organized for the week ahead … reading the Free Press … some Bible reading and prayer … watching some sports (I wish). I hope you noticed the word “generally.” Such was not the case this past weekend. Rather, in those 24 hours I received a text, an email, a private message, and a phone call … all needing immediate and prayerful attention.
Do you remember the children’s game “Leapfrog”? When was the last time you played it? If it’s been too long (or you never played it), you can watch a YouTube video to learn how! The cool thing about leapfrog is that you go from the back of the line to the front without ever stopping in-between. I think I am ready for a game of that right now.
