Another Tired Monday

Although I had the day off from my day job, I had a full day of working, nonetheless. This morning began with getting my children off to school, and volunteering at our church reconfiguring elements of their new OS X Server, and retiring an older Windows server.

After lunch, it was running errands, grocery shopping and finally ironing out this month's family budget with my wife. By the time this evening's chores were finished, I was absolutely ready to drop.

Tomorrow represents the beginning of a four day work week, and I'm very excited that another weekend is already on the horizon. At the end of the week, there is an evening server maintenance scheduled. No matter what, I know that the Lord will get me through whatever obstacles present themselves.

Philippians 4:13 (Amplified Bible)


I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].

God Bless you,

Good Night

Hump Day

I'm really tired. Since the beginning of this week, I've been getting up earlier than usual to begin the commute by bus in order to report to work by 7AM. Once I'm free to leave for the day (between 5 and 6PM), I've been getting caught up in the daily routines of cooking dinner, cleaning up, preparing lunches for the next day, etc. From the minute I walk through the front door to my house, there's work waiting to be done.

By the time I'm finished with my domestic responsibilities, and am free to do whatever I want to do, it's usually after 9:00 at night. Often, all I have the energy for is a quick 30 minute TV program with my wife and jotting down entries in this blog before heading off to bed. My days are beginning to run together.

I tip my hat to those who do this each and every day. I don't understand how people with families can flourish on little sleep, work full time, take care of the house, feed the kids, clean up, work out, volunteer and still have time to catch up on the latest showing of American Idol. These people amaze me (you know who you are).

Good Night
