Today has been the longest day. I had my big annual interview with the Board of Ordained ministry, and had to spend half the day down in Sedalia for a thirty-minute meeting. I couldn't believe it when I had to sit next to the guy who was so awful last year. I just turned on Southern sweetness and bluffed my way through. I got the call tonight that I did indeed pass. I found out also that I may have to do two funerals on Thursday, plus go to a three-hour meeting and meet with my mentor. Nothing like have gobs of stuff all at once. Don't know why, but I just KNEW my stuff would all be the same day.
The warm weather here has made the days more bearable; I hate cold weather. You can actually hear the birds singing now that they don't have to huddle in nests. The only problem is mud. My 7-year-old has the knack of tracking in like nobody's business. It just finds him. He brought in ten clumps of mud tonight, which were all over the floor from one end of the house to the other. And he just looks at me like, "What?"
Yesterday I had another experience of realizing how smart he is. We went to the nursing home to visit one of the parishioners and she asked him to fix her gameboy game, which she said was in Japanese. Abby tried to fix it first, and declared it permanently "Un readable." Sam took the game and in thirty seconds, it was in English. Then he taught the adults watching how to change it, too. I guess it goes to show you that kids under ten can do anything with electronics.
