Different Day...

Work was different. I was not allowed in my office because of construction. I was reminded that the forecast model needs to be resurrected soon.

I skated 6 laps (8 miles) at Munroe Falls Metro Park. The pavement was a bit wet in spots, but it was good practice. I need to be doing my knee excercises.

Tonight was music practice - we are doing 3 sets during the church's anniversary service. The first will be MIDI stuff that I did early on. Second set, we'll have communion and do some transition songs (Knowing You (all i once held dear), Trading My Sorrows, We will Glorify) - the last set will be like current/future. Beautiful One (By the Tree), Bless the Lord (Deyo), and Caedman's Call's Warrior (new song).

I've felt a bit of a failure as a husband lately. Melissa wants to feel protected and taken care of - and I've had about 3 incidents lately where she has felt abandoned and forgotten - not the message I want to send. The most recent was leaving the gas tank of the Honda empty on my way home from work today. If I had known she was going to the store, I'd have been sure to fill it. Her comment was something to the effect of, "this makes a difficult thing that much harder." I called her before the last RealCHAT meeting (out to TGIFridays) to let her know that I was thinking of her and sorry about the gas thing - and she said it wasn't that bad. They had a good time out tonight.

I need to pray with her more and make sure I'm leading our family in spiritual things as well.
