Sunday, May 11, 2003 AD Troublemakers! At 9 last night, I was beat. Tuckered out. One tired puppy. Ready to hit the sack. So I put down the book I was starting to doze over and headed up the stairs for a rendezvous with the sandman. I'd made it about halfway up the stairs when I was sucked by an irresistable force back into the dining room. Before I knew it, an impromptu scriptorium had been constructed. By midnight, I had outlined an illuminated capital B, colored in part of it (and made a mental shopping list of inks I needed to buy) and sketched out the first verse of Psalm 1 twice (and it might get done a third time, as I haven't quite figured out how big to do the lettering). So alla youse guys that egged me on yesterday are responsible for that three hours of sleep I didn't get and for making me late for Sunday School because I overslept! Sigh...but it'll be totally my fault if this project, like so many that have gone before it, gets stuck in a box somewhere never again to see the light of day. Now if it comes to pass that I actually complete an entire illuminated Psalter before my mostly-brown-with-a-few-strands-of-grey head goes down to the grave, that will be entirely the fault of the gracious God for whose glory I hope to get it done.
