But I am.
I could go into some of the reasons, but it would just be a whine so I'm not going to subject you to that.
So here is the real challenge of a daily blog; what to share when I got nothin'.
So I'll share a joke one of the pastors told the office staff in the hall this morning:
The pastor's little girl was having a very bad day. Her mother was at her wit's end to try and control her behavior. Finally, she sat her daughter down and said, 'I'm so sorry, dear, but you have just behaved atrociously today. I'm afraid I'm going to have to keep you home from the Sunday School picnic on Saturday."
The little girl was heartbroken and wailed piteously, but her mother was firm that her bad behavior had to suffer the consequences.
The next day, the child's behavior had done a complete reversal. She was submissive, helpful and obedient. The good behavior continued the next day and the next. Impressed, her mother spoke to her husband, wondering if perhaps they should now reward their daughter's dramatic improvement. He was agreeable, so they called the little girl in and told her that, due to continued good behavior, she would be allowed to attend the picnic after all.
To their astonishment, she began to wail piteously once more. 'Honey,' her mother asked,'what's wrong? You can go to the picnic!'
'No, I can't!' the child sobbed, 'I've been praying for rain!'
Well, maybe the sentiment was wrong, but I need to learn to have that much confidence in my prayers... maybe that would help the cranky... ;-)
