Weekend washout

So the football team was off last week and it was a good thing. I woke up several times Thursday night and got up Friday morning just flat out sick. Unable to move, unable to eat, unable to find enough energy to even take a shower until later in the afternoon. So Friday was a washout for sure. Dad and I had plans to go test at the race track on Saturday morning so I did take the time later in the evening to get the car ready to go in the morning. Then we woke up to 40% chance of rain and it was already raining in Gainesville so we got stuck at home. I did a little bit of painting at the church, and a whole lot of yard work at the house. We have little palms planted all over the yard now and mulch spread and all of the old flower beds cleaned out and replanted. The back yard is shaping up much the same and many of you reading this are probably wanting to drive by and see it for yourself. Yes, Jeff Gatlin is fixing up his yard and getting rid of the old bushes and putting new trees and plants in. It only took me 11 years to get this yard fixed up where we want it. Not too bad!
Sunday numbers were down and I won't lie it's starting to take a toll on me at times. I do remember something that Mark Devers wrote in his book the Deliberate Church and that is the church's success is measured by its faithfulness as a family to the Gospel. We are certainly presenting the Gospel, and using the Bible as the center of our focus.
I did watch a movie with P.J. Saturday night, Dr. Seuss's the Grinch that stole Christmas, and it started me thinking and getting in the mood for Christmas this year. I usually don't catch it until mid December(if I catch it at all according to Tara) but it just struck me early this year.
Oh and by the way, 5 days till Night of Fire. The biggest race we run each year!
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
