"Only choose in marriage a woman whom you would choose as a friend if she were a man." - Joseph Joubert

My body wants to do things - good things - but my brain refuses. A combination of jet lag, a messed up meal schedule, and a general lack of sleep have combined to create a condition of near total apathy for anything except sitting in my chair. I tried to do prep this morning for my Sunday class and decided there was just no point.
Tomorrow!!

This is beautiful. 

I said in that first paragraph that my brain wasn't functioning at full efficiency and my body was uncooperative with anything past sitting upright. Apparently not because I started that post yesterday and couldn't get it finished.
I slept 8 hours last night, something that almost never happens. I awok two hours ago feeling a desperate need for hot coffee and BACON. I've had both (in insufficient quantities) and hope for better outcomes today.
Besides, it's Thursday, which is...wait for it...
Cheat day!

I'm now sitting in Harvest Bakery eating my cinnamon roll.
But wait! There's more!
"Do you want plain, with almonds, or with apricots?"
What??? Apricots?
Turns out that's a great idea. Delicious.

On the way home I'll stop at the feed store for grass hay, alfalfa, and grain. Goulash and Haggis grew a LOT while I was gone and that is reflected in their growing interest in hay and grain instead of just momma's milk. They're two months old and therefore one month from weaning. Next week they get their first shots and a few days later Haggis will get banded.
Sorry, little fella.

I'm almost two days out from my two weeks in Recife. I occasionally look at my pics of the people there and it messes with my head. I sure wish I could be two places at once. You see smiling faces. I see hearts and lives behind those smiles, people who love the Lord, really want to grow spiritually, and are exactly the kind of people we want to take Christ and the gospel to the world. I fell in love with them and do NOT want to wait another year before seeing them again.
