This last weekend was very full. I preached Saturday morning at “Men’s Breakfast”, I taught my “Men’s Leadership” class from 5:30 to 6:30 pm and then we had our Saturday night service which was the first of three services that were our 50th anniversary celebration in which Patty and I sang and I talked for 30 minutes narrating slides of JBC’s history. Sunday morning at 8:00 am I taught the “Ladies Leadership Class,” then we had two more services where we sang and I talked, then at 1:00 pm I taught another “Men’s Leadership Class,” then at 3:00 pm I taught “Leadership II Class” , and then at 6:00 pm I participated in my “Men’s Covenant” group.

That evening sitting in my recliner I was feeling like the most blessed person on the planet earth. I was feeling full of joy and enthusiasm about the future, and thanking the Lord for the amazing weekend we had just experienced.

I went to bed at 10:00 pm and the next morning I woke up at 10:00 am and I hadn’t woken up once during that 12 hours of sleeping like a baby.

After I got out of bed, showered, ate a bite, drank a cup of coffee and brushed my teeth, I sat down and started thinking about the weekend, and I started thinking, wow, I should be tired, and exhausted, and depressed, and exhausted, and pretty soon I started feeling that way.

Then I came to my senses and, thought, wait a minute, you just had this amazing weekend, and you just had the best nights sleep you have had in years, and you should feel great! Yep, I do feel great!!
