Manic Monday

"Just another manic Monday, wish it was Sunday, 'cause that's my fun day..." At least that's how the lyrics keep repeating themselves in my head! Of course it is Monday, most radio stations can't resist the urge to play this song, and as the speakers carried the sound this morning I thought about Sunday being "her" fun day, and I realized that this was true for this past Sunday, for me.

It wasn't fun in the conventional sense. Sunday for me means going to a building to meet with others who worship and give praise to the same God, the one true God. It means meeting with others in love to encourage, exhort, and be taught. This Sunday it also meant orchestrating a celebration following the initial gathering. By and large it was a success. People stayed to share burgers and hot dogs and to share a little bit more of life. It was FUN. I was tired, my feet ached (note to self: don't wear three inch heels on a day that you are going to be on your feet for 6 hours)!!! But it was fun to see an event from start to finish. It was fun to execute a plan. It was fun to see how people stayed and relaxed in the company of others. It was fun to serve with others who had a passion and a desire to see the event successful. I wouldn't necessarily rate this fun as needing it on a weekly basis, but it certainly is the type of fun that is needed from time to time.

Mundane Monday continues with the following thoughts:

*I've read 5 books from my Spring Reading Challenge, having just finished Jodi Picoult's latest earlier today.
*I watched "Schindler's List" last night for the first time, and seeing many of the images projected on the screen of the treatment of the Jews during the 40s was mind boggling, and in a way unimaginable. Yet not only was it imaginable, it happened, and in other parts of the world the same slaughter and blatant mistreatment of humanity continues.

*Tantalizing Tuesday hits the blogsphere for another edition tomorrow...
