Saturday

Unlike any other day of the week, Saturday morning gets to be slower and relaxed. No one is rushing out to work or school. Just slower. I look forward to some cooking and cleaning. I have a Thai rice recipe to try that Eric Hucke made for us at the Episcopal House of Prayer. Sara is home and hungry for things she doesn't get at school. Nick will get back late tonight ( I think) from the Augustana College Band Festival in Sioux Falls and Beth gets back around 10 pm from Rochester New York where she was the key note presenter at a conference. I will see a couple people in the hospital later today. But the sermon is done and the day is looking good. Maybe I will take a walk, do a load of laundry, and read, and spend some time in silent prayer!

......a thought for the day
”The real work of planet-saving will be small, humble, and humbling, and (insofar as it involves love) pleasing and rewarding,” writes poet and essayist Wendell Berry. “Its jobs will be too many to count, too many to report, too many to be publicly noticed or rewarded, too small to make anyone rich or famous.”
