Midweek Reflections on Summer
ʻIdál (Justice), 19 ʻAẓamat (Grandeur) 177 B.E. Wednesday, June 3, 2020

Day 3 Entry for "The Bard's Hall ContestOpen in new Window.

Summer solstice doesn't occur until Saturday, June 20, at 3.44 P.M PDT. We're already experiencing triple digit temperatures here in Las Vegas. This means that it's going to be a hot and uncomfortable summer. A hot summer means sky high electric bills. Right now I don't have to worry about that because I have a $72.31 credit after this month's power bill was paid. I may have to worry about the power bill in July (if I go over the $72.31), and I know I'll have to deal with it in August, but that is a few weeks away,


Summer temperatures
rise to the triple digits
without cooling rain.

Right now, I'm not looking forward to summer, but that could change over the next few week. When I was growing up in Blackwell, Oklahoma, I always looked forward to summer. Summer was fun because we went to the Lake on the weekends with my Grandparents. Summer was fun because we didn't go to regular school, we got the entire summer off. Summer was fun because we went to vacation Bible school, and learned how to be good Southern Baptist. I'm still not sure how a good Southern Baptist is supped to ace because all we did was memorize bible verses, learn songs, play games, and make craft stuff, but it was fun; at least, most of the time.

The only songs, from Vacation Bible School, I remember are "This Little Light of Mine", and "Jesus Loves the Little Children". Some of the games we played were "Ring Around the Rosie" and "Dancing Around the Maypole". I remember memorizing John 3:16 and Psalms 23. I suppose there were other things we did, but I don't remember what they were.
