Why does 7 a.m. on Sunday morning seem SO much earlier than 7 a.m. any other day? I've wondered this for years. On Sunday morning I get to "sleep in" until 6! Then it's off to the church to prepare for a twelve-hour work day. This is what greets me, and somehow, after having to get ready in a cold, dark house, followed by the cold, dark drive through mostly empty streets, this dim hallway and unfriendly gate just illustrate how unwelcoming it all is! The feeling I have about it all is so gloomy, that it was almost therapy to confront it by taking this photo!
After I get the gate open, lights on, and doors unlocked, everything has begun to seem more "normal" and better. Soon the catechists begin to arrive. Happily, this year I have two volunteers for the 8:30 session who are so wonderfully cheerful and sunny that they get my day off to a much better start - after the first cold, difficult hour. (And, in the spirit of this blog, I'll say - I am truly grateful for them. I've told them so, too!)

My Sunday mornings are sleep-in time and then reading in bed. Why is your work day 12 hours? When do you have a day off from work?
