I haven’t been posting as usual since the day before Thanksgiving. No particular reason, I have just been going through a lazy blog period. But during this time, I’ve been busy (chuch things).

Of course, spent Thanksgiving Day with the family. The weather stunk, but at least it was rain. Missed the night time NFL game because my former cable company doesn’t carry the NFL Network. This pushed me back to DirecTv (more on this tomorrow).

Last Friday, I wanted to travel Route 17 and maybe go shopping. This was my plan until just after Morning Prayer – reality set in for me. I came home and turned on the local Fox News morning program and watched the helicopter over a local Jersey mall. Instead of sitting in traffic, I stayed home and did some work. So, for my second Christmas as a member of the New Jersey populace, I stayed far and clear of the malls on Black Friday.

Over the weekend, I spent time doing pastor-stuff and watching gas prices rise.

Sunday, well, you all know what I was doing.

Monday, being my day off, really wasn’t the ‘day off’ I expected: I ended up preparing Sunday’s church service. We are moving to Divine Service Three in the new synodical hymnal for the seasons of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany.

Then today, I spent the morning in church office, the afternoon driving around, and the afternoon splitting my time between the church and home offices.

Not overwhelmingly busy, but enough to keep me from blogging.

And there has been great stuff to talk about … something I will get to tomorrow. Good night.
