Today was one of those days you read about on Facebook or Twitter…a day when there is absolutely nothing to report but you post it anyway. It was a day totally void of stress, confrontation or challenges. I did my combination morning bike ride/church visit and checked the daily physical and spiritual exercises off my list. The weather was perfect…a clear blue sky with unrestricted visibility, high cirrus clouds that lay in drifts like sand on a wind swept beach. The winds were calm and the temperature hovered in the low forties while the early morning sun’s rays warmed my body to its very core.
The one service-call I went on (a reported total failure/shutdown) consisted of watching the automated carwash perform flawlessly as I sipped a cup of hot chocolate. Its computer displayed no errors and none of the equipment gave any clue of a problem. I felt a little guilty about charging the customer for “unable to duplicate problem” but the feeling soon passed when I thought of the times I had been to the doctor, they fixed nothing, but I still had to pay.
I then amused myself with a trip to the grocery store to purchase some non-essential items; toilet paper, bread and milk. I stopped at the Whataburger to redeem my free hamburger coupon and spent the afternoon fooling around in the yard killing weeds and feeding the ants some chemical that was supposed to be detrimental to their health (we’ll see).
I took a shower and crawled into bed.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for all “the nothing” that happened today. I just want you to know how much I appreciate it. It sure is nice when I let you do all the worrying. See you tomorrow. Amen.
