A bunch of nothin'

I'm doin' a bunch of nothin'.

That about sums up the time I have spent at home so far this summer.

Oh, we've gone to the coast for http://eightdaysofhope.com/ hurricane cleanup, to Alaska on a cruise, and to North Georgia for a family reunion. We still plan on going to a children's home for four days to do whatever it is that they need doing and to Miami with the youth on a mission trip for a week at the end of July. Did I mention that I am keeping my 18 month old nephew for a few days?

I must report back to school on August 6, and so far all I have to show for my time at home is ... nothing.

So much for the lofty goal of cleaning out the attic (boy, I love puns!). All the chores that I had been putting off "until summertime" have yet to be done.

Do I feel guilty? A bit, but not too much. This morning I spent about an hour out back, Bible in hand. I wasn't reading it the whole time, but I must admit that it was glorious just to sit, ponder, and relax, unhindered by time and demands.

I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
