Thursday Morning Thoughts

OK, it's currently 10:00 am on Thursday morning. Here are some random thoughts (Random because they don't really fit with each other and they are in no particular order).

  • Our 4th of July started at 6:00am with our departure to Washington D.C.
  • We arrived in Reston Virginia and distributed about 700 fliers for Reston Community Church.
  • Finally arrived in D.C. about 2:00pm.
  • There's a reason that God has me working with Adults
  • If a storm comes through D.C. on the 4th of July, they close down the National Mall and that puts a ton of people in the Smithsonian.
  • Trying to sleep while laying on the floor of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum is not really that comfortable at all.
  • If one does not get enough sleep, does not drink enough fluids and walks in the hot, humid weather of D.C. on the 4th of July, there is a 100% chance that they will be taken to the E.R. for dehydration and/or heat exhaustion. (Not to panic anyone in PA, but we did have this happen to one of the students from Texas who are with us)
  • A one block cab ride, in D.C., on the 4th of July, in a rain storm is very expensive
  • Watching the fireworks, from in front of the Washington Memorial, on the4th of July, with a few thousand people is really cool.
  • Not leaving D.C. until 1:00am (after picking up people from the Hospital) puts you back in Chesapeake about 5:00am.
  • Getting up at 5:00am and getting back in bed at 5:00am makes for a very long day.
It's been a good week . . . But I'm tired.
