Free February 29!

I'm of the mind frame that since my daily devotion doesn't have an option for February 29, today should be a totally free, completely wide open, entirely useless day.

There is a light fresh coat of snow on the ground, covering all the spring ugly, dirty snow. The skis are waxed, the dog is hyper, the thermometer is not in the negative numbers!

But, there are sermons to write, funerals to plan, visits to make and blogs to keep up.

So I'm starting now. In four years, we'll have a movement. Free February 29!

I found a quote on a tea mug today, "how wonderful it is to relax and do nothing all day and rest afterwards!" I propose that this quote be a guiding sacred text next february 29th! I too wanted a "do nothing day" and it was a busy day at work, literally from the first minute I was in my office. I'm grateful for space to reflect in the car about all things relaxing though.

take a ski for me sometime soon!

My February 29th was entirely insane... I give a second motion to the declaration of a free day. The extra time in a leap year should be used for communion with nature (skiing?). I'm with you!
