Random musings from yours truly on this, the 25th day of July, year of our Lord 2008:

All good things must come to an end — like this season of “The Deadliest Catch.” The show wrapped up without any assurances that Captain Phil Harris will be back next season. So, from now until April 2009, I am without a weekly dose of Sig, Johnathan, Phil, and, thankfully, Keith.

Some good things are nearing an end — like time spent with Amanda, one of my precious senior high girls from my small group who is headed to college in just three weeks. And time spent with Brenda, my scrapbooking friend who goes to college in northern California, which, if you’re wondering, is pretty stinking far from here.

Some things are just beginning – like the weekend! Hallelujah! The Lorows are looking ahead at two days of fun. A picnic with the Patton girls, a housewarming party for friends, and, hopefully, plenty of lounge-around-and-enjoy-the-summer time!

Beginning is sometimes the hardest part – this week Jeff and I tackled cleaning out our closet and drawers. Once we got started, it was a breeze, but, boy, was it hard to get started! I am now on an organizational binge…so I’m tidying up in the loft too.

Speaking of hard – one of the biggest challenges of my job is helping secular media better understand what type of institution Messiah really is. I get so tired of seeing us classified as ultra-conservative by people who don’t know anything about Messiah and don’t care to take the time to do any research. So, so frustrating.

But, to end on a happy note – it is Friday! Have a great weekend!
