Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi

So… It’s raining out.  The sun hasn’t truly shone in several days.  My thesis is still not done; my sermons are not finished for Sunday (although, that’s nothing unusual nor particularly frustrating)….

And yet, I’m a happy camper this morning.  Today is November 14th.

Do you know what November 14th is?  Let me guess… probably not.  November 14th is the first day of registration for Ragbrai XXXVII!

I don’t even know if I can go (indeed, schedules being what they are, chances are pretty high I can’t), but the joy and anticipation created simply by having registered is enough to make me smile.  Totally cheaper than therapy!  (And if I make the lottery and can’t make the ride I can always sell my wristband without a loss!)

Talk about an investment!  WAY better than my pension or my insurance (which - shame on the RCA - doesn’t have parity of coverage for mental health.)

Grace and peace,

`tim
