Random Tuesday

I've had this window open for about an hour.  Perhaps the best I can do for today is a list of random thoughts:

1. I read a devotional today by Henri Nouwen.  He suggests that we will carry the caring touch of those who have loved us through our death to eternal life.  Jesus carried the scars of the crucifixion with him at least prior to Ascension -- perhaps the touch of grace is eternal.
2. I had a meeting this evening that felt awkward.  I have to lead another one of them in June, and I'm not sure how to make it more productive.
3. I'm tired, and I have a very long list of things to do.
4. We had a prayer vigil this past weekend at church. I'm always grateful when people tell me they didn't know they could pray for an hour, and when they do, it goes by so fast they are surprised the hour has passed.  Why do I only do that at Easter.
5. Our dog probably sleeps 22 hours a day.
6. Our son brought home his cap and grown this evening.  How did the time come for him to graduate?
7. Our younger son won a band challenge today, and kept his 2nd place chair.

Random thoughts

Random Thoughts:

• Being busy at work is good; worrying about the server crashing is bad.
• I'm not quite sure who my older son's parents are. I mean, I know exactly who they are, but sometimes I look at him, and I wonder how we created such a terrific kid.
• I'm not sure that granting my younger son's request for a facebook page was a good idea.
• I love taking pictures in the fall; I wish I had more time to do it.
• One good thing about our son being on the swim team is that he's learning how to work the dryer.
• Our dog cuddles close in the winter and stays at the far end of the couch in the summer. I think she gets cold. She's fails to realize that she doesn't leave me any room at all. Or she doesn't care.
