Time Warp

Today started out like every other Sunday, with the usual frantic activity getting ready for church entails. Shane and I had the usual arguments about who would dress the girls and get breakfast ready. This was a good Sunday. I actually had time to put on some make up, so I look pretty cute. We rushed off to church, to minutes early as usual. (Shane hates to be late). He was a little crankier than usual this morning, because it is the first Sunday of the month, and we are fasting. Kaeyln managed to sneak out of the house wearing her pink Sleeping Beauty slippers, but we didn’t want to go back home to change her shoes.. We got in some exercise, going from door to door, trying to find one that wasn’t locked. The chapel was still dark, and the church was empty.

People slowly began to trickle in. Either church was going to be really late this morning, or almost no one was planning to show up. Our friend, Betty arrived, “You’re here rather early.” Yikes! Daylight savings time! We forgot to set our clocks back! What would we do with our extra hour? Because we are fasting, we couldn’t even go out to breakfast. “Great, now I have to go an extra hour without eating,” was Shane’s comment. However, every cloud has a silver lining. We were able to go home and exchange Kaelyn’s slippers for a more suitable pair of shoes.
