The Phil Files

Saturday’s been a busy day around the Warehouse! Not much of a Saturday rest for us. Of course, all the stuff we’ve done today is good stuff … well, except for the trip to the mall, the grocery store, and Wal-Mart: on a Saturday in West Texas when there is no football, everybody and their dog was shopping — and I mean that literally, one place we went in today had two people shopping with their dogs.

We got a lot done, but not nearly as much as we wanted.

And then we got back home and tried to figure out what in the world to eat on this low-carb diet we’re all on. We’re trying to regain the proper dimensions: let me put it bluntly, when your circumference is more than your length, you just might be … well, let’s move on, that’s too convicting!

So, we cut up and fried some low carb tortillas. Not even a Paula Dean size serving of butter to fry them in could make them taste any better than slightly crisp cardboard. But thankfully, Donna had pulled out her new food processor and made some of her world famous pico salsa. Yeah, baby! It makes everything taste good, even low card hockey pucks — aka rice cakes.

Once the jolly holiday without carby passed, we went back to work getting tax letters ready for Heartlight donors, working on computers to get them ready for my travels, and getting read for Sunday. Then there was the sermon stuff with slides and sermon and communication. Then there was all the work on getting everything online for Heartlight and church. By the time we all most done, the day was done, long before we finished what we had hoped. And just as i started off toward bed, I remembered my nightly thoughts on our blog … Oops! Didn’t make it. Fell asleep. Got the readings done and everything, so I’ll post the Luke 14 thoughts on Sunday afternoon!
