Woke up to see that we had a dusting of snow overnight. Just a reminder that it is still winter even though we have had warmer than usual weather the past few weeks.

Waking up in pain was also a reminder that in three days, I will have my knee surgery. The past few days have been busy ones getting things done before that. On top of that, two of my classes finished for the quarter. The other two will have next week off and come back for one week. So I am looking forward to some down time for four weeks after my surgery. However, I am not looking forward to physical therapy. I am also not looking forward to six weeks of no driving.

No coffee shops for a few weeks, but maybe, just maybe I can bribe friends with a free coffee to take me there. However, there are a few things I look forward to.

1- more time with Jesus. Worship music will be playing, prayer time will be had, and a few Christian books to read.

2- more time for blogging. The past few months of teaching, finishing a book, and ministry, I have not been as active.

3- more time with friends. Zoom chats, people giving me rides to physical therapy and other places.

4- hopefully no more pain- After I get through the recovery, hopefully the pain will be much better.

So March 11th is coming whether I want it to or not. 🙂

Thank you for reading. God Bless.
