Sunday "Routine"!?

Occasionally I get asked about my Sunday routine (as I was yesterday).  To be fair, to use the word "routine" for any given Sunday would be a true misnomer as each Sunday seems to be unique unto itself.  The only "routine" thing about my Sunday's is that I go to church.  From there the variation begins.  And before I write out my schedule for yesterday, let me just say that my prayer is for there to be nothing "routine" about Sunday; nothing ordinary, nothing natural; for I would prefer things to be dynamic, extraordinary, and by the grace of God, supernatural as I meet with God's people to worship Him who is worthy of all praise.  With that said, here is what took place this last Lord's day:

• 4:50 am
  • I awake, take a moment to think about the day and thank the Lord for what the day holds.

• 5:00 am
  • Grab a cup of coffee (thankful for coffee timers)

• 5:05-5:15 am
  • Read a portion of Scripture; in this case Hebrews 9 to meditate on.

• 5:15-5:30 am
  • Shower and such

• 5:30-6:15 am
  • Prayer and meditation on Hebrews text, preparing to share something for our second hour communion service.

• 6:15-6:45 am
  • Bandito time; feed him; straighten up his habitat; let him run around the yard while I have some more coffee.

• 6:45-7:15 am
  • Breakfast; catch up on some blogs

• 7:15-7:45 am
  • Dress for church

• 7:45 am-8:00 am
  • Drive to church; talk to Laura about what the day holds

• 8:00-8:25 am
  • final preparations for worship service; some personal keyboard practice time

• 8:25-9:00 am
  • Worship Team practice

• 9:00-9:25 am
  • greeting people as they arrive at church
    
    
• 9:25-10:00 am
  • lead worship music

• 10:00-11:00 am
  • preach the Gospel (Acts 7:17-38)

• 11:15 am- 12:15 pm
  • lead second hour Communion service (share from Hebrews 9:13-14)

• 12:15-1:00 pm
  • Visit with various folks

• 1:00 - 1:30 pm
  • Premarital counseling prep (and I ate some cookies)

• 1:45 - 3:15 pm
  • Premarital Counseling

• 3:30 - 4:00 pm
  • Change and visit with family and friends at the house

• 4:00-5:30 pm
  • Mowed the back and front yards (usually a Monday thing but I heard there could be rain)

• 5:30 - 8:30 pm
  • Watch a movie with the young adults (interrupted for dinner)

• 8:30 - 10:30 pm
  • a visit with Bandito and then retired to my room

• 10:30 pm
  • CRASHED!

Just another Sunday, filled with its own unique experiences.  Wondering exactly what next Sunday will hold.  Let's see, Mother's Day, the Maples - yes, should be wonderfully dynamic.  What a blessing to serve the Lord and His people.
