It’s kinda against my nature, but I like Saturdays because on Saturdays, I am largely alone.

As an extrovert, it’s weird that I like Saturdays for that reason, but I really do.

On Saturdays, I get up whenever I feel like it (or when my kids get me up whichever comes first). I eat breakfast with the little munchkins, get ready and then I head over to the church.

The rest of the week, this place is buzzing with activity. It’s great for someone like me, because I get recharged by people (most people…but that’s a different post). The problem is there is nowhere to hide and when I have to really focus on a task like my message, it can be quite difficult.

That’s why I like Saturdays.

I pray.

I read.

I blog.

I practice my message and re-write it a couple times.

And I do it all alone.

Then midafternoon people start coming in to get ready for the services. The aloneness slowly drifts away into the chaos which is a weekend at Riverview. And I like that. too. As an extrovert, that’s the perfect ending to a day of being alone.
