They've read the scripture, they've passed the plate
And we're both prayin' he don't preach late
But he's gettin' "Amens," and that's just our luck
Yeah, it's eighty-five degrees outside and he's just gettin' warmed up
Oh you and me, we could be soakin' up that sun
Findin' out just how fast your brother's boat'll run
I tell you there ain't nothin' that'll test your faith
Like a long sermon on a pretty Sunday
Well it's been rainin' all week long
I woke up this mornin', the dark clouds were gone
We've both been raised not to miss church
But on a day like today heaven knows how much it hurts
Oh you and me, we could be soakin' up that sun
Findin' out just how fast your brother's boat'll run
I tell you there ain't nothin' that'll test your faith
Like a long sermon on a pretty Sunday
See that sunlight shinin' through that stained glass
How much longer is this gonna last
Oh you and me, we could be soakin' up that sun
Findin' out just how fast your brother's boat'll run
I tell you there ain't nothin' that'll test your faith

Today I got an email from Dance Marathon, the organization at UF that raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for Children's Miracle Network. They are going to take us to Legoland! As I read the email I was having a hard time breathing because I was so excited. I checked the date and it's...on a Sunday. Harsh! So Harsh.
So we're not going. I'm so grateful for P. He's so committed to our family. Over the past 12 years I've come to see how he never puts getting a deal, above teaching our children what is important. Every year when we go to the Dance Marathon Event we just go on Saturday. Even though there are more fun, free food and bounce house turns to be had on Sunday, we just go on Saturday. It's enough to have all the great fun we have 6 days a week. We set Sunday aside, because if we didn't, we'd never take the time to slow down and reflect on our blessings.

I agree! We try hard to keep the Sabbath as well. Thankfully we don't have to make too many choices like that in Utah.
