april fools

i woke up this morning, and convinced myself it was saturday. i decided to sleep in, and was thinking about all the things i needed to accomplish. i'm not sure exactly when reality hit through the fog in my brain, but i was sad when i discovered it's only friday. and gray. a gray friday in what seems like a very long gray week. sigh.

last night, the concert wasn't exactly what i expected. i knew i was in for trouble when we walked into the venue, and there weren't any chairs. only an empty gym floor, and a thin row of bleachers in the back. for the old people. except that bleachers aren't really for old people, are they? not that it mattered, because the median age for the concert was 13. to be honest, 13 year old christian kids are just as annoying as any other 13 year olds. thank God for youth pastors and others who dedicate their lives to this age group. i don't know how they do it.

i digress. we ended up sitting in the front row of the bleachers, and after 2 hours of warmup bands that were "unseasoned" i was about ready to fall over. then about 45 minutes of preaching. which is fine if you are awake, but i was starting to not be. then, finally, the band, who was apparently not as naive as me, because they started playing a bunch of silly stuff to get the kids in the audience jazzed up. lots of jumping about at that point. when phillip looked at me with a "what the heck are we doing here" look, the decision to go home was instantaneous. we were home by 10pm. a proper time for a school nite :)

so, this morning, i am listening to a freshly downloaded building 429 album, and enjoying the comfort of my comfortable chair immensely. thank you Lord :)
