As a pastor, sometimes I forget about long weekends.
Particularly this time of year. Your head is geared to fall program startups. Your heart is with those who have returned from a summer away. And your spirit is refreshed (well, usually).
So I almost missed this coming weekend.
My wife has had to remind me – more than once – that we are headed up to see our daughter in Waskesiu. So Sunday after church we pop into the car (with $1.19 per liter gas in the tank) and venture out. We hope to be back Monday evening.
Short, but we expect to have a good time. Our daughter is pregnant and this is the first time we will see her in a few months. My sister visited her last week and said she is looking “pretty”. I’ve always believed that, but at seven months pregnant I seldom hear that term used! Looking forward to seeing her.
