Getting ready to go somewhere is WORK!

It is so MUCH work to get things in order to leave for an extended period of time. There is all the packing, and getting supplies together. And there is the two weeks worth of bulletins, announcements, slide shows, song shows, worship orders (spent the better part of this day getting those two weeks worth of items finished.) And there is the mowing, and necessary things so that the family doesn't have it too hard! And there is the paying of bills and getting things in order for the wife. It's always good to get away... but it is always WORK getting ready to go and then the catch up when you get back!
