A quiet Monday afternoon

Having a lazy day.  Told the kids we'd have a day off from school, to just rest and get back to normal again.  Several days of company wore us out---and I'm sure the two sweet girls who were here will crash when they get home.

Besides, it's a nice, drizzly sort of day.  I'll need to go out in a bit to get something for dinner, since I can't whip up anything out of the cabinets or fridge, because there's nothing to whip!  And something easy sounds much better than fussing.  I'm sorta tired of cooking.

Anyway, will climb out of bed here in minute and get it in gear.  It's 3pm and I'm still in my night-clothes.  Very cozy.  Will putter a bit, watch 'The Voice' with the girls so I can see Adam Levine, who I have a tiny crush on, and then hopefully an early night.  My plans for early-to-bed usually fall miserably short.

Take care and remember to pray over the election (though I realize I'm speaking to the choir).  Praying for God's favor....and as my Sunday School teacher said yesterday, or something to this effect....he's been praying about the election, but laughing he said more so he's praying for God to work his way.  I get that.  Don't we all?  One of the women capped off the conversation saying she understood, but knows we need to pray, "Thy will be done."  That's the classic Father Tim (from Mitford) prayer, and it's always spot on.

So, if an early night transpires, will go to prayer tomorrow morning.  And afterwards I really want to tidy the church kitchen in preparation for the chili cook-off that's this-coming Sunday.  It's a mess!  Too many cooks, you know.
