I’m wondering on a Saturday morning what’s going on over there, in and around the rooms. I wondered because I am sitting here at the kitchen table after meditating, reading Psalm 15, having a Jalapeno Pepper, and praying about my prospects. I wondered if I could get involved with people instead of laptop, television and reading materials…other than my wife. We rode off into the sunset not thinking of friends and family associations. There’s always the telephone or facetime.

I wondered why I don’t like work, although I used to as a Christian duty. Now we attend Church via the Eternal Word Television Network.

On the other hand, people like their privacy, I do. I don’t like people nosing around where I stay. Even if I invite them to stay, I’m not that hospitable. I don’t want them to stay long. So I keep to myself and don’t go over to the hotel, even though I’m looking for work, but not necessarily as an hourly employee. I suppose I could volunteer at one of the Churches.
