Perpetual Ruminations

Monday

"Ten minutes! That's it, just ten minutes."

That's how long I have before I need to head out of here. I'm going fishing with my brother and in about ten minutes I need to leave in order to meet him at the lake on time. However, he tends to be late if I'm on time, so if I leave on in about seven minutes, I will have to wait for him, for who knows how long.

If, on the other hand, I run late even a minute, he is usually already there, waiting for me. It's crazy, I know. That's just how it's always been. Not every time but most of the time. So with six minutes left, I ponder this thought, "Will I have to wait for him to get there?"


Not that it matters, it's nice out and it would not be a bother to wait for a while for him to show up. So, I will head out of here in just a couple of minutes, and be on time, maybe even a few minutes early. Hopefully, he is too, or at least shows up about on time. Not so much so I don't have to wait on him, but so we can get the boat launched and get out fishing for a while.

See, I have to be up at 3:00 a.m. again tomorrow, so I don't want to stay out on the lake too long. That's the way it's been going, I'm late getting there, and he's late coming in off the water. So, today, I'll be on time, and hope that he will be, too. Then we will have some fun, relax and hopefully even catch a few fish. Then, after a few hours, we can pack it all in and head back home so I can eat dinner and get to bed kind of early.

That means, I may get another chance to come in here and write or something. Maybe, but then again, who knows? We will see how it goes out on the lake, what time I get home, and how late it is after we eat and do our Bible study.
