It’s Monday night a little before 2200 hrs. Today has been a holiday, President’s Day. I’m not really sure why we continue to celebrate the birthday of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Yes, they were prominent in our Nation’s history but a lot of other people were too. I know I certainly didn’t dwell on their accomplishments today nor do I think I could find a quick fifty people that did either. Federal workers got a day off work but I don’t know of anyone else that did. Certainly anybody in the customer service business didn’t. I mean we have to have places to go on our day off and we need gas stations to fuel to get there and restaurants to eat at when we do get there. And then there are all of the “President’s Day” sales that are held so shop people have to work extra hard. Nah!!!! Stupid to call it a holiday. 

Kate and I didn’t do much of anything today. She did make an anniversary card for Julie and Jim for me to put in the mail that wouldn’t get picked up because it’s a holiday. LOL And I did some sermon writing for the three Sundays that I have to fill in at a church in March. I got one of them done and have a start on the next one. The fact that it is the Lenten season gives me a theme to base my messages on. The scripture lessons for the second of the two Sundays are vastly different. The first on is the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. The second scripture is the story of the vision by the prophet being shown the Valley of the Dry Bones. They are vastly different messages as far as I can see. I am using the Lazarus scripture because it will lend well to the next Sunday which will be Palm Sunday. 

Okay, gotta quit. Have a blessed night.
