Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

It’s Tuesday night, and all across the vast blogosphere everyone is wondering just one thing:  ‘What’s on Chris Day’s mind right now ?’

1.  It turned out to be a 4½-day / 115-hour holiday weekend away from work for me, and I had no clue that it would go down like that until I got sick with a head cold. Some events in Life you just can’t forecast or predict.

2.  I’ll be back at work bright and early tomorrow morning at 6 AM. I’d like to thank my good buddies Mr. Vitamin C, Dr. Airborne, y Señor Zicam for helping me make it through this most recent cold which I am about to declare as done and over with. ‘MISSION ACCOMPLISHED’.

3.  It was a cold morning in Homestead this morning. We didn’t quite get down into the mid-40s here – 51°F officially at the base and 49°F officially at Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport, but wind chills were certainly down into the lower-to-middle-40s for a few hours.

4.  1.73 inches of rain – That’s how much we got here in Homestead on Saturday and Easter Sunday combined. We needed every last hundredth of an inch of it too. We’ve still got another 2+ months remaining of our dry season.

5.  Success In Iraq – Seeing thousands of Iraqi Christians attend Easter Sunday services at churches all throughout Baghdad without fear of violence.

6.  10 states lie entirely east of the great state of Florida, and 5 additional states extend further east than Florida. Can you name those 15 states ?

7.  I was home all day on Saturday, all day (after 12 noon) on Easter Sunday, and all day on Monday (aside from about 45 minutes late on Monday morning). So when does FedEx decide that it would be a perfect time to deliver a package to me that I need to sign for ?  Yep. You guessed it. During those 45 minutes when I stepped out late on Monday morning. That was God’s practical joke for me on Monday.

8.  Office Depot is my playground. I have to limit myself to no more than 45 minutes in that store or else I’ll end up buying the whole store. Pretty soon Staples will be opening up here in Homestead. It will be my second playground.

9.  Happiness is being able to dry a big load of wet clothes in the dryer in 50 minutes or less (compared with the two hours or more that it took before I had my rooftop dryer vent unclogged this morning).

10.  Happiness is working, talking, and laughing with Ela over the telephone while conducting church business. She keeps making me laugh. I like returning the favour.

You are such an awasome brother in CHRIST, I love working, talking and laughing with you. You are a true blessing to me.

Pray that you are feeling better and have a blessed day at work. Talk to you later on this week.

Love ya…..
