A Road Less Travelled

Last night I was super tired. Wednesday Night Dinner can be a lot of work and often when it’s over I’ll be dead-tired and really wound up. Sometimes, like last night, my legs will be aching and my body will just be worn out, but I’ll be too wound up to go to sleep. It could make for a hard time going to sleep when I’m so very tired.

But Crystal, dear Crystal, has started getting beer. There is a Wednesday night beer stash at our house. We aren’t suppose to get into it on other days except for emergencies which means that there is always beer on Wednesday night. Last night Crystal broke out the beer and we each had one. By the time I was done with mine my muscles had calmed down and my mind had slowed to a sleepy crawl. I climbed into bed and quickly fell asleep.

So today I am thankful for beer. For all different kinds of beer and ale from Guinness to Killian’s. For God’s love to us demonstrated in the creation of beer I give thanks.
