Feelin' like Rip Van Winkle

I woke up Monday morning to a terrible stomach ache at about 2:30 AM. (about the time our worship leader here at OFC goes to bed). It was one of those things that wasn't going to let me go back to sleep. About 7AM after just sitting there on the couch for 5hrs I found out I had a temperature too. Needless to say I spent the entire day on the couch in the basement.

I woke up this morning feeling slightly better. Well enough to head into the office at least. Man I felt like I was on a nother planet... and I just missed a day. It was amazing to me how out of it I was after just missing a day. My whole routine was off and I felt like everyone's life went on while mine stood still. Well of course that's how I felt because that's what happened. It was just kind of weird thats all. I've spent today trying to get back into the groove of things...trying to play catch up with all we have going on at the church. It's been interesting. Oh well that's what is on my mind right now. Trying to get better and get back in the groove of things.

I am sure you have had those days where everyone else seems ahead of the game while you have been away for whatever reason. I mean I woke up and was heading to take the trash out this morning only to have Erin tell me that the kids already had done that. WOW! It is a good feeling to know that life can go on and that the church can go on when I am not here. However, I know that for Erin the sooner I can get back to normal the better to help out with our gaggle of children. Sometimes I feel like I am running a bed and breakfast. I pray that you have been able to stay healthy and I also pray that you have people around you that can pick up the slack Like I have at home and at work. May God heal you and help you this week. I know He is still healing me! Blessings, Your Dreaming Pastor
