I was sitting here in front of my computer reading the comments on the JWD forum when I decided to do something more productive. My gutter on the front of the house has been stopped up and the supporting board needed painting. So I got my ladder and climbed up on the house. This is when I realized I'm getting old, it's getting scarry to climb on ladders, and I don't feel my balance is good anymore. It almost made me cry to think I'm going to have to rely on younger people to do some of my work.
Anyway I got it done, but my wife suggested I shoulden't do this on SUNDAY. It sort of irritated me and I told her that no religion was ever going to tell me what to do or when to do it. I just guessed she was referring to the sabbath and I told her it was on Saturday anyway. She was just talking about taking Sunday off though so it didn't bother me anymore, as that is a pretty good idea anyway.
Now I can waste the rest of the day and feel good about it.
How are things with you these days? Now my wife is cleaning out the freezer in the little out building, that shows she doesn't beleive what she preaches.
I'm watching the nascar race and playing on this computer and wasting the rest of the day.
Isn't that nice? Although I go to church almost every week (because I truly enjoy it!) when I do decide to sleep in and not go, I don't feel guilty about it. It's nice to not "have" to do something, but do it out of love and enjoyment. Guilt can be such a destructive force.
