Today was a very typical day in that it wasn't so typical. I baked a batch of cookies this morning before work, so arrived a little after 8:30 at the office. After checking the email for the HelpDesk and routing questions and requests, I walked around the office and made sure that people's computers were working correctly. Answered a few questions and took a few notes. Drove out to Frisco (10 miles) about 10:00 to return some computer equipment we had borrowed (and included cookies to say thanks). Worked on the intranet when I arrived back. Saved my changes only to find out that I didn't do it right so the recent work was all lost. Took a break for lunch at McDonald's with Sam, my high school assistant (and cousin). We discussed censorship, mediocrity, libraries, and the fact that my brother is turning 15 in less than a month. Spent the rest of the afternoon working on the intranet and answering the occasional computer question. After work, I paid bills, wrote some letters, and put off cleaning my room until tomorrow. Sometimes serving God (and being a missionary) is not always glamorous, but called to serve we are. We think serving God is something so complex, but a large part of serving God is simply being a servant to all.
