It was a fun weekend, if ever too short as always. I wasn’t feeling all that great on Friday at work and even after going home, but I took some advil, drank some water, and felt a lot better after watching a movie [Without a Paddle]. So much better, in fact, that I met up with Brad out at the pub where his brother works in Providence. I’ve been there a few times now, and it’s always a good time. A couple of Brad’s friends also came along, so we sat around talking and played a bit of pool. I ended up not getting to bed until around 3 AM, but that wasn’t such a big deal knowing I didn’t have to get up for anything in the morning.

So I didn’t. I slept in until 12:30, when I finally decided that any more sleeping would make me feel like I had wasted the day. Watched another movie that afternoon [Napoleon Dynamite], watched a tribute concert to Michael Jackson with a bunch of cool performances by a bunch of cool people, and then headed over to the Morelli’s house for a couple hours. After having been up so late the night before, I decided to get a bed a bit earlier Saturday night - around 11:30 PM. Seeing as I didn’t have to get up until 9 the next morning, I still managed a comfortable 9+ hours of sleep. Ah…. SO nice.

Church Sunday morning was good, as usual. Peter spoke about how we pray “…in Jesus’ name, Amen,” and yet how often we aren’t really praying in Jesus’ name. It was meant to get us back on focus with God. He also spoke about how we are to be a “glorious” body, and that instead of focusing on how often we fail to be holy, God said that he would glorify us so that we in turn could glorify him. Peter said that it’s an insult to God when we sit around obsessed with the fact that, “Yup, I messed up again today!” - because it’s in essence saying that what God did for us by dying on the cross was not enough to bring us back to him. I know, my summary’s not all that great, but it was a good message.

A bunch of us went out to New York Chinese Buffet for lunch, then headed back to my house for some fun in the snow and an afternoon movie. When we finally all went our separate ways the weekend was pretty much over. I watched yet *another* movie [Enough] on TV Sunday night with Abby, then conceded to my closing eyes.

This morning on my drive to work the sun was shining brightly, and though it’s yet another Monday life’s not so bad. Now it’s time to earn my keep!
