| | OC Supertones, Jury Duty
5 am on Tuesday
Why am I up so early?
Drivin’ out to Santa
Ana ’cause I’ve got jury duty
No breakfast, short tempered
And I cut my head shaving
Ten miles out I hit traffic
Some days just aren’t worth saving
You know I haven’t had the best of days
But I want to stop and thank You anyway
At the courthouse I waited
And waited, then I waited
At lunchtime my car stalled out
I couldn’t get it started
Had a book by C.S. Lewis
I finished the last page and
Slept on my desk for three hours
Just like my high school days
Cuz every single moment whether sleeping or awake
Is Your creation
And what You’ve made is good
I don’t always thank You for the rough days and
The hard times in my life
Even though I should
Got home and decided I’d be in a bad mood
My shy and quiet wife said she didn’t like my attitude
Got a call from my mother
Forgot my sister’s birthday
I’m a lousy older brother safe to say I’ve had a bad day
Cuz every single moment whether sleeping or awake
Is Your creation
And what You’ve made is good
I don’t always thank You for the rough days and
The hard times in my life
Even though I should
-------------------
I guess the song is probably a bit harsher than I intend. I had a lot
of fun at Nats, but the last day and a half (used loosely to indicate
a period of approximately 34 hours from 18:00 Wednesday to 04:00 Friday
:-p) was rather overshadowed by poor judging and disappointing results.
Again, I'm faced with the balance between God's will and
poor-to-mediocre performance on the part of much of the judging
pool--and again, God's goodness is the only thing I have to count on.
Other than the judging issue, the tournament was awesome. I wanted to
judge, but I was apparently ineligible. That's okay, since I got to
watch whatever rounds I wanted and coach the teams afterward.
Thankfully, I had very little to complain about in most of the rounds.
The times between, before, and after rounds were wonderful. I've been
blessed with some wonderful friends in NCFCA and the alumni pool, and I
got to hang out with almost all of them at that tournament (Steve,
you'd better show up next year  ).
I guess I'm well and truly an alumnus now. That's scary.
