The Weekly Wrap-Up: July 26-30, 2021

Who else thinks we should institute the wonderful tradition of an afternoon siesta here in the U.S.? I don't know if it's the heat or my general inability to sleep through the night these days, but I have been feeling so sleepy in the afternoons. I've never been much of a nap person, but I'm thinking it might be time. 

This has been a fairly quiet week. Sarah left me to go on vacation with her family (only fair since I did the same thing to her a few weeks ago), and that has meant I'm regularly one of the few people downstairs. Add to that the slight hiccup with the A/C this week, and you have at least three days where I was the only one in my hallway. It's not an unheard of phenomenon, but it does get awfully quiet when you can't hear other people on Zoom or arguing with the printer. 

I spent most of this week making videos, which is not my normal state of affairs. I'll try to upload them sometime, but I'll tease you with this - I downloaded both the Law & Order theme and the Looney Tunes theme for these. If I tell you it has to do with the CMF Seminar coming up, what conclusions would you draw?

The rest of the week, I've been working on Tamil booklets. They are rough. We reduced the font size, and they are still overrunning just about every space they'd normally fit in English. I'm definitely going to be spending a fair bit of time on these. 

We had a special prayer time today for a man who has done a lot of work with OMS over the years. He's in the hospital with COVID. I know it's a hot button topic these days, but we were talking afterward that our mission hasn't changed. Beyond politics, beyond personal pronouns, beyond whatever distraction the world throws at you, what we are interested in is people's souls. Don't forget to do a soul check every now and then. 

We know how to love because Jesus loves us.

Bye!
