Stretched, but Not Snapped

Off and running on Tuesday morning. I went through a list of possible candidates for the position of Principal at TAA. Made the calls and spoke to a number of them. People are hard to find—I guess people are busy. What’s that about? Come on---busy? In some ways it might be problematic to have candidates just sitting around waiting for someone to call them.

My sermon series at Central Valley Spanish Church keeps developing as I go through the week. Tonight I will be speaking on the Sabbath. We are in Exodus 3:4. That is the verse that will launch my message. I am pretty excited about the direction the messages are taking. I am trying to keep all the themes Christ-centered and anchored in love, not fear. Maybe a book will come out of this series. I have been tempted to do something like that for many years, but I have always used my busy-ness as an excuse for not submitting a manuscript of some sort to someone. Who knows?

I get my car back tomorrow—hopefully! I have been riding around in a blue Honda Insight. I don’t like it. It smells funny. I am beginning to feel a bit of pressure to find the time for a final visit to all the schools before the end of the year. Just one more thing to do. One last observation. Summative evaluations. Contracts. Campmeeting planning. Town Hall planning. Securing personnel for Thunderbird. Find a Principal. Find a Registrar. Science Teacher. Math Teacher. Sabbath School at Campmeeting Planning. Hispanic Campmeeting planning. Family Ministries. Hurry, call the “whambulance”!
Actually I love it—it leaves little time for waste. I find myself doing my 24 Hour Fitness routine after midnight. And let’s not forget Penny’s Swamp Smoothie Recipe I concoct for myself every morning.

Irony of the day-- My boys threaten to kill me if I don’t take care of myself better….oh well—let me take a last swig of my lukewarm Swamp Smoothie I brought to work in my 200 oz. 7-11 plastic drink container. Yum yum!
