Ken Martin’s Blog

I woke up Saturday with with the latest delivery from the Cold-of-the-Week Club. But there would be no relaxing and sleeping it off. The usual Saturday tasks: tidying, Anna at ballet, more tidying. Then it’s off to Grandma Martin’s 90 birthday party, which was very nice. Good conversation with family I haven’t seen for a while, and some I’d never before met.

On the way to get the kids and head home, I got a call that I needed to teach on Judges and Ruth at church the next morning; the scheduled teacher was stuck away from home. Of course, I hadn’t read it yet. Last week I had to pick between reading that and Greek study, since illness left me too short on time to do both.

Well, I was up early studying Sunday and class went well. But that wasn’t my big concern for Sunday. Sunday was also the day that Helen’s family and the Vadnais Heights Lions Club was set to clear as much tree and brush material as possible for Helen’s mom. Really good, hard, physical work. Which on a regular day is fun, and on a sick day is devastating.

I ended up a pile of weak uselessness heaped on the couch. And looking like a wreck at work this morning. And feeling the part.

And now, to sleep. Good night.
