Preparation

We got a flurry of information today about the Kenya trip — workshop schedules, flight itineraries, and several other things.

I have to send off a Kenyan visa application tomorrow. In past years, LEAMIS has handled visa applications for the group, but this year we’re supposed to do it ourselves. It means mailing my passport to the Kenyan embassy in Washington along with a $50 fee, and enough return postage for them to send it back certified mail.

Between preparation for the Kenya trip, preparation for the Mountain T.O.P. week and what seems to be a never-slowing work load at the newspaper, I am feeling kind of wrung out. And I’m feeling some unjustified anger at every person who drops some new item into my wheelbarrow.

I know I’m being childish. I’m not even the hardest-working man in my immediate family, much less in show business. But I’m still stressed out, and frustrated.

Keep me in prayer.

    I’ll definitely keep you at the top of the prayer list.

    I don’t think anything in life is more basically frustrating than red-tape.

    Sure, there are illnesses, financial difficulties, etc. But red-tape tops everything for the sheer lemon-juice-in-paper-cutness of it all.
