I woke up this morning looking forward to enjoying a cup of the coffee I roasted late last night. I walked into the kitchen and saw the beans still in the roaster. I had forgotten to take them out and put them in an air tight container. Drat! They stayed there all night getting stale.

I actually heard myself tell the children, “I’m so disappointed in myself for ruining the coffee.” WHAT? Did I really just put myself down for something as silly as coffee? Please. I need to cut myself just a little slack!

I’ve been looking forward to receiving my seminary acceptance letter. I need it NOW so that I can get the next paperwork process started and get a seat at the Army chaplain school this summer. I got an email from AGTS this morning. Apparently there was a glitch in the online application system. The web site tells me my application was submitted. They never got it. The application has been lost in cyberspace for weeks… getting stale.

I’m so disappointed in myself for not confirming that they got it…. Oh yeh, hmm… maybe I’ll cancel the self-criticism and go have another cup of coffee.
