Dear Harpeth Hills,

I was on a conference call with ministers last week and was struck by one comment from a younger friend. “Some days I feel like I am in molasses. I just can’t get going.”

And I thought I was the only one.

Once you shake off the blahs and lethargy on this Monday, remember tomorrow is Feed our City. You can bring items to the building between Noon-4pm or make donations online. The need for those less fortunate is ongoing and ever-present. We need your help. Others need your help.

Years ago I was complaining to my daughter about the overwhelming tasks before me. The main item was working on my Doctoral Thesis, which was looming large. As I whined, she said, “Daddy, sometimes you’ve just got to get your stuff done.”

Point well taken.

Hang in there. I love you.
