So, I worked last night and had prayed for patience however all patience flew out the window at 5am this morning. How many times do I have to explain....ok, ok, ok so they have dementia.
I had left work with no intention of going to church 1)because I need sleep after working all night and 2) see #1. This morning was a catch though. I was in the shower when something just came over me..maybe the little voices inside my head or God said "Go to church today, Go to church today" so I'm like ok I feel pretty good right now and if I can make it I'll go. So I went looking like a train wreck and got several comments/questions about the glasses. My typical response was "yes they are new but I'm only wearing them now because I have yet to go to bed for the day. I worked last night and had worn my contacts for 12+ hours already and was not about to put them back in." Your reactions to my saying that I had yet to sleep were priceless. Thanks.
I was fine until about noon and then it hit. I wanted sleep. I wanted to go out to eat with the group after service but I needed my sleep since I have to work yet tonight. I must apologize and we should do lunch again soon. I made it back to the house safely and had jokingly thought to myself about putting out an e-mail wondering if anyone would call me later to see if I was on my way to work or not. I decided against it since it was my idea or was it to go to church today and forgo sleep by a few hours.

Perchance to sleep
Last night was Ministry Options Night at church so we had Bible study at the Moore's. We went over Psalm 57 which had insight that no matter what is going on the Lord is in control. We have a sovereign and merciful Lord we are to have faith and trust in Him. I have times that I wonder how much I trust Him and times that I deal with the power struggle of control (I dig in my heels and fight, but ultimately He wins).
Dessert was also so served by Melissa M. and Lee. Both were equally as good as I told Lee that I normally do not eat pumpkin I was shocked at how good it was. I also enjoyed Melissa's lemon dessert. I cannot remember the name of it; however I heard references floating throughout the kitchen as 'Lemon Gravy' you'll have to read her post.
Of course, it could not have been completed without the "Mission Impossible" game players chasing each other (well a few of them) to tag them with stickers to take each other out of the game. I know of at least two people that were tagged and one of them (Melissa) purposely announced that she was willing to be tagged. Ha Dana T. took her up and that and stepped out the door with Mel and tagged her. Jeannie earlier had been wildly chased around the yard by Chris G. as she was attempting to get to her car, but wouldn't you know it Lee stepped in and was chasing Chris so does that mean Lee has Chris or was he merely helping out Jeannie?
I don't remember what time I left the Moore's, but I do remember getting home probably a little after 9pm. I had a few things to do and finally realized that all I had eaten that evening was dessert, which is not bad, but I needed a little more. I will not go into details of what I ate, but time all was said and done it was midnight (new time). Now that I have trouble sleeping my doctor decided to give me samples of some sleeping pills. I had run out of the king he had given me and recently stopped by his office for some more samples. This doctor did not write down what strength he had given me and the nurse gave me what was available. Well, now it is a totally different strength twice the amount. I don't know why I did not cut the thing in half, but lets say I have learned my lesson. I took it like maybe at 12:30 alseep by 1am slept until 11am, but feeling like a hangover (never had one, but if this is what it feels like why ever get one). I made it to the couch where I about fell asleep again, but thought maybe a shower would perk me up. No such luck. I feel asleep again only to wake up I think at 3pm. I slept my day off away. I also bet it was one of the nicest days that we are going to have for awhile.
Yeah, I think the next time either make sure I'm given the right strength or cut the thing in half.
