A good day. I'm building shelves. I always like working with my hands, but I never really learned how to do anything fancy. I lost my dad and graddad before I had the smarts to pick up their carpentry knowledge. Assembling shelves and Ikea furniture is perfect because it gives me the satisfaction of manual construction, but I don't actually have to know anything.
Feeling tired, but good. Can't think of much to write about.
Taylor has asked that our Monday mornings start including more extended times of prayer. Today we prayed for a quarter hour and it felt really good; better than I would expect if I had just considered it in an abstract way. I like the feeling of being able to pray for a lot of things - like if I don't pray for very long, there's a lot of stuff that'll pop into my head during the day that will make me go "aw man, I needed to pray for that too." It's hard to pray for a long time all by myself though, so having company over covers me in a helpful way. If it's just me, it's hard to justify the time; if we're all praying then hey - that's what we're doing right now.
I want to pray with you and over you more.
