Tomorrow El Jefe and I are off to join several of his old college classmates for a mini-reunion and tour of some northern California wineries. It's our micro-vacation before the Big Wedding! We're leaving Portia and DK in charge of the house and Gretel The Noble Dog, along with some Astros tickets and money for a special dinner celebration.
Last Sunday I presented the Children's Sermon which was based on the lectionary reading for the day, Mark 6:30-31--
The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them " Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."
The lesson for the children was that even Jesus and the disciples sometimes had to get away from their important tasks to rest and regroup. You can't do that if you take your work with you--so the computer is staying home. That is also today's devotion from Ordinary Time, the book of devotions written by members of the RevGalBlogPals webring. Thanks, cats, for your thoughts today!
I'll catch up with y'all on Tuesday. I'm still working on getting El Jefe to leave the Blackberry behind. Wish me luck!

~waves~ Have a good time!! Send us postcards!!
ReplyDeleteIs there some way you could, um, accidentially, well, disable the Blackberry so it wouldn't work even if he did bring it along?
ReplyDeleteWhat if it just happens to 'fall into' a wine glass at one of the tastings.
ReplyDeleteI guess that would not necessarily be blackery wine?
No, Toby, the Blackberry Whine would be the noise El Jefe makes after his PDA takes the plunge.
ReplyDeletePoor Jefe! (How 'bout some elaborate scheme with the flight attendant to drug him during the flight, thereby allowing unfettered access to the blackberry which could be flushed somewhere over Utah?)
