Over the past month or so as I've been progressively feeling better, Sunday mornings have been so strange. I haven't had anything pressing to do! For years and years, my Sunday workday has begun at 5:30 AM, to give me time in the midst of bathing and dressing and eating breakfast to do a final editing of the sermon, and to compose that day's prayer, and to review what I'll be doing in the Adult Class, and to be able to get to the church early enough to make sure everything's in place and then to have a few moments of quiet to prepare in that way for the worship that's about to begin. I haven't been able to get used to Sunday morning leisure, to having time to read the comics.

Beginning next Sunday, I'll be back in my comfort zone of early morning preparation. (Actually, I'll have to get up at 5:00 AM, to take my medication, so I can eat breakfast at 7:00.) I look forward to it!
