The second day in a row of other obligations is taking a bite out of bloging time. This morning I will go in for my annual physical. I did my blood work over a month ago, at which time the Dr. said if there is anything out of line we’ll call you, if not we’ll just talk about it when you come in for the second part of your physical. They didn’t call, so I assume the numbers were good. The really great thing about going to see my Dr. about anything is his promptness. I don’t know how he does it. He is always on time. I never have to sit in the lobby waiting for hours or even minutes to be called. If my appointment is at 9:20, I’ll be called within a minute of two of 9:20. It’s really frustrating to grab a magazine, look at the table of contents, and decide on a story only to be called in before I can actually get to the story. Yea, right.

After the physical it’s back to the Chick to prepare meal boxes for tonight’s volleyball games. I enjoy working the Chick-fil-A, if a body has to have a part time job it’s a good place to be. The only problem is that it eats into the time I need to spend building and promoting my ministry. Having said all that, I want to leave you with some words to think about. Below are the words from a country song written by Jennifer Nettles, Kristian Bush, and Scooter Carusoe. Jennifer and Kristian are the country duo known as Sugarland. I don’t know if it ever crossed their mind that the words they have written could have been a direct quote from God, but it sure seems to me they could have.

Fall Into Me 

When the weight of the world
Bares down so strong You leave footprints on the street
And theres too many miles to face
Without a few more hours sleep
The storm clouds overhead won’t shed
Any rain to quench your thirst
I wanna be the one you reach for first

When your faith is stretched so thin
That you can see right through your soul
And you cant find a nickel to buy a smile cuz all ur pockets all got holes
You wanna shut the door and
Hide before the day can get much worse
I wanna be the one you reach for first

Fall into me
My arms are opened wide
And you dont have to say a word
Cuz I already see
That it’s hard
And you’re scared
And you’re tired
And it hurts
And I wanna be the one you reach for first

I wanna be the bottle you’ve been drinkin with your eyes
Or the road you run away on
You’ve been runnin all your life
The third row pew that you last knew
As a child in church
I wanna be the one you reach for first

Fall into me
My arms are opened wide
And you don’t have to say a word
Cuz I already see
That it’s hard
And you’re scared
And you’re tired
And it hurts
And I wanna be the one you reach for first

Before you turn the key
Before you fall asleep
Before you drift away
To fight those demons waiting for you
In your dreams
Before your arms stretched wide open
Before you’re reaching to the sky
Before you’re searching for direction
And all the answers to your whys

Fall into me
oh my arms are stretched wide open
You don’t have to say a word
Because I already see
That its hard
And your scared
And your tired
And I know it hurts

Yes, its hard
And your scared
And your tired
And it hurts
And i wanna be the one you reach for first

Till next time,

Grump
