Like I Was Saying…
Either I’m old or out of shape or maybe both.
The Dia Del Los Muretos festival yesterday tucked me out.
See last night we didn’t get in until past midnight. Now driving home I’m sore as hell and dog tired. It’s the kind of where while driving I feel like I could knock out at anytime. It feels like when I get home, I just have to lay on my pillow and knock out.
But the second I walk through the door, I wake up. Of course there’s stuff to do, feed the dogs and heard ‘em through their bathroom breaks. It’s a process.
By the time the dogs are done, I sit down to relax, surf the internets, and write my post. Once I get my post done, I think I’m ready for bed, but my mind is wide awake.
So I didn’t go to bed until early this morning.
I wish I could say this an isolated incident, but it’s not. My waking up when I get home is par for the course.
It’s very rare that I get home dog tired and go straight to bed.
So for me my day doesn’t end until I fall asleep.
In regard to Skating the River, so long as I post it before I sleep, I still consider that a post from that day.
Do I wish I could fall asleep when I get home? God, yes.
Never happens. Don’t know why.
Figuring this out would be great.
Getting my posts done earlier would be nice as well.
It all comes back to my habits. Some are good, but I know some are bad. This is a bad habit, I wish I could change.
So since I want to be way to early in the morning, I woke up way to late in the morning with my body still reeling from the previous day.
I was able to edit a few pictures, but time got away from me before I had to get ready for Mass and my Youth Night.
It was one of my favorite nights: Faith and Science.
Much of the night is spent teaching our teens that the Catholic Faith and science are compatible. In fact, for the exception of a few historical faux pas, the Catholic Church was instrumental in advancing Western science.
We had a good session during my small group, but I’m surprised by how reluctant my teens are about expressing their opinions.
One thing I encourage my teens to do is ask questions about their faith and their beliefs.
I don’t want to tell someone how to believe, but how to get their beliefs on their own.
That way they can take ownership of their thinking.
That’s vital to me and their understanding of their faith.
I want them to learn how to think.
One of the issues Catholicism and other beliefs is that people don’t think critically enough about them, regardless of their belief system.
Especially when it comes down to their worldview and faith.
