Harried Preparations For Christmas

Ginny & I have been eating our emergency supplies all last week.

No. There’s not a hurricane. It’s just that nothing remains in our refrigerator except a pack of fish sticks and we have not been able to go grocery shopping.

You see, it’s only eight days till Christmas and I still have a few things to do:

• I need to buy antifreeze, drain the car radiator and re-fill it.
• Jennifer has a birthday next week.
• Eve has a birthday next week.
• I expect the church lady to call asking me to serve soup at the mission.
• I need to clean my neighbor’s yard thoroughly because they’re hosting a family get together.
• We have a closet full of presents to wrap.
• Breakfast with Wes Tuesday?
• Breakfast with Barbara Wednesday?
• I’d like to get out to the cemetery and tend my parents’ graves.
• Patty is coming home from college.
• Luminary Night is Sunday.
• I’d planed to have the current book manuscript ready to publish but I’m not finished formatting and editing.
• I have to cut my hair before someone shoots me thinking he’s bagged a Yetti.

So, let’s see the first thing I have to do is…..

“Be still and know that I am God.”

O Sure.

I’ll add that to my list somewhere.
