It seemed today that every time I turned around, there was another interruption, another disruption, another added task. As I was about to sit down to my morning study, I was cajoled (more than asked, less than ordered) to go on what I saw as a fool’s errand to check on something, only to have that struck from the list when I was ready and no longer had an unbroken hour before the next obligation. Returning to that later in the afternoon, the disruptions stretched one hour into something well over two. Then I was pinned between the need to make supper early enough for the schoolboys to get to bed and the need to get my mother-in-law to the store at a decent hour. The boys won, and so it was after eight thirty before I left for the shopping trip, and after midnight that I was on my way back.

I did put a bit of time into scripts for the Quick Word radio show. I was surprised to find that I had not yet reached the point in the passage I’m using for my outline (Hebrews 11) that was going to require me to do a lot of digging for information. I had overlooked the fact that David is mentioned there. The danger with David is that I could probably spend the next six months on stories about his faith, and I really shouldn’t–or at least, I think I shouldn’t. Maybe I have to think more, since really I should not be in a hurry to finish this subject, as it’s an excellent subject and I’m not sure what I will do next.

Anyway, it is after one in the morning and I still have a few things to finish, so I’d better get to them.
