I wanted to get home early today so Stephanie could go to a church function. I left work in hopes of catching an earlier bus than usual, but when I got to the stop, the bus wasn’t there. Valley Metro lost it. Yes, its missing. When I called, they told me that it was not on the GPS screens and they could not reach the bus driver over the radio. The 4:30 bus is just ‘off the map’. So I start cycling home, and I should have kept going…
Normally on Wednesday’s I have to take the bus to Arrowhead mall, then ride my bike to the church so that I can be there in time to watch Zander for Stephanie, right?  Today I leave work at 4:30 thinking, I’ll catch the 4:30 bus and be able to go home first so I don’t have to fight with the bike rack after church… then I got this bright idea – it’s only 4:30 – and it only takes me about 1 1/2 hours to get home when I ride my bike all the way. Hmmm… that puts me at the house around 6pm. I leave the bus stop and head home despite the fact that my left knee was starting to hurt and it fells a little hot.
This Sunday night starting at 6:00 pm, we are hosting one of the church’s Summer Backyard Barbeque! Yes, you are invited. I’m also inviting my neighbors on all sides. I want to really begin to reach out to others and show the love of Christ. I just realized that I didn’t invite anyone from work, and that makes me sad. I think I’m going to call a couple of them tomorrow and invite them even though its a little late now. Maybe they will come.
Stephanie and I have a lot of work to do. We live like slobs (I know, we should start working on that, but one thing at a time -see My Weightloss-, OK?). The house needs to be cleaned up, the weeds in both yards need to be pulled, the patio needs to be cleaned up, the pool needs to be cleaned out, etc., etc., etc… Anyway, I’m hoping we can get it done quickly because I want to spend part of the day enjoying the day.
