I Love Vacations!
I was standing behind the pulpit.
It was 11:30 PM on Christmas Eve.
I was close to the end of my sermon, which I had delievered three times that night.
"I could just collapse," I thought to myself.
"I could fall over, and not say anything. People would gather around and say, "John, are you OK?"
If I didn't say anything, someone would come and take me away.
They would put me in a bed in a hospital and feed me. There would be a television set with a remote.
How did I let myself get so tired?
But, I made it through the services and now I'm at home. We are on our way up north to Atlanta later today.
("Up north to Atlanta?" -- I never thought I'd live so far south that Atlanta would be considered north, but after a decade or so, I'm getting used to it.)
We're going to visit family in Atlanta -- maybe I'll drop by the Seminary -- or maybe the new Aquarium. And maybe I'll post something here. And maybe I won't :)
If I don't post anything while we travel, I will definitely be back soon. After I return home there is a conference in my backyard -- No2Torture. I hope to post something about that event.
Well, I'm babbling. Maybe they should have taken me away after all :)

Enjoy your well-earned vacation!
happy vacation-ing!
i was in church for the 10pm candlelight service & the pastor said much the same thing about feeling like he'd done this a hundred times already & man he was just plain tired! 3 services between 6 & 10 pm. whew--makes for a long day doing the same thing over & over again i bet!
Enjoy your time off in Atlanta. I just returned from Atlanta and I had a great time. Visit the aquarium and tell me how it is, okay?

Yes -- vacations after Christmas are a good thing. Part of ours was to included a major house cleaning, but that doesn't seem like vacation to me, so we're going to a hotel for a bit this week just to get away.
Peace.
Enjoy your time away, John!
