Reflections on a Night Off

    So tonight I took advantage of one of the positive things about working in a restaurant. If there's no work to be done, people get to go home. It works out for everybody that way. Tonight I get to go home and somebody gets to double whatever money they were going to make otherwise. So I came home and I've been sitting on the couch watching baseball. I love this time of year. 

     Today I was in a ridiculously good mood. I am not sure if it was that I started the day by preaching in class on John 20:21, which was awesome, or if it was the productive day I had. Maybe it was the beautiful weather in Birmingham today or all the coffee I had throughout the day. Something was putting me in a really good mood.

     Even after I went to work I felt good. Nothing could break my groove with the theme music of the mighty Tower of Power. Even the lame-o couple I waited on couldn't break my rhythm. I got them both a glass of Merlot and an appetizer and was repaid with a barrage of questions and disapproval about the wine. Today I couldn't care less. It was brilliant, really. 

     It is good to have a night off every now and again. Time to watch some more baseball and grab another beer. I love this time of year.
