Team Daze

Skipping a day of your life can be disorienting, especially when your clock is upside down and you can't sleep the next night either. But when your brain is so tired it isn't functioning anyway--it's not so bad.

Since you can't do any real work, the best you can do is keep moving and wait for yourself to pass out (and hopefully sleep long enough to begin recovering). Such was the case yesterday, May 23, when we scheduled a team outing to a wildlife preserve to attempt to begin our physical recovery as we to saw, petted, fed, and marveled over Australian wildlife.
Teammate Brooke Hollingsworth did the work to arrange the day, and it was lovely--despite the fact that it rained on and off the whole time. I don't think she planned that. But if she did, it wasn't bad thinking. Actually, wearing trash bags and having wet feet and clothes blessed us all immensely (we didn't fall asleep!).

It is now Sunday here. I awoke at a much more reasonable hour today: 4:45 a.m. This is our sabbath day--today's goal will be to center ourselves spiritually for the task ahead. Team worship, which begins at 9:00 a.m. will be one highlight of the team's week, one of the sweetest three hours you could ever experience. I hope your day of worship will be blessed, as well.
