Redeeming the Time
I've discovered something sublimely satirical about this month.
You see, every time I'm dashing off a date line - which is at least every day for me, for the last two weeks, for a split second my mind thinks, "August 2008".
It must be the /08/ for the month, of course, that's doing it to me. And there's something defiantly satisfying to be able to firmly write "2007" down.
We are NOT THERE YET!
I think August is trying to teach me a lesson.
You see, it's getting me back for something I'd done to it. It used to be a standing humor line for me, that when someone - you know the kind - came up to me and asked me, "So Isaac, when are you getting married?" that I'd answer smugly, "August 8th, 2008. When are you getting married?"
I made it up on the fly once, and it was reused on several occasions. I stopped though, ummm, a while back. But now August is retaliating by using that split-second brain glitch to treat me to a split-second panic sequence. And not only once, but it seems to be able to pull this off every time, until full confession has been made.
So, I smugly write down, "August 2007".
And back there in my mind, August is saying, "But not for long..."

Really? Well, my third paragraph was partly an indirect quote from you last Sunday. It was what you said that kind of got me started on it.
Anyway, when you finish the sermon, perhaps you'll share it?
It's just how I've seen all the other Bloggers commenting back and forth. : P
"...it is generally my policy not to release a sermon until after it has been delivered, and I don't know exactly when that will be."
Of course. Until then we sit in suspense. ; )
