Yes, it is National Stay at Home Week!! I saw the ABC ad while watching TV and laughed, like everyone else, at the cheekiness of declaring National Stay at Home Week during premiere week. On the other hand, I actually liked the idea of having an excuse to stay at home and watch all those premieres (though not necessarily only on ABC…tough break for them!). “Sure times are tough,” says the official ABC website for National Stay at Home Week, “But hey, ABC has great TV!”

Sometimes it doesn’t take much to push me over the edge. Tired of traveling, tired of driving here and there and longing to connect with friends here in my own house, I jumped on board. Yes, I’m confessing right now. I’m celebrating a fictitious, consumer-driven holiday. I am staying home every night this week.

Except for church on Wednesday, because it’s a Worship Encounter and I don’t want to miss that!

And church on Saturday, because even though I can watch it live (by clicking through on this site to Christ Fellowship), nothing compares with being in my regular seat.

And Monday, when I drive to Atlanta. (Go Catalyst!!).

Good thing there’s TIVO.

Happy National Stay at Home Week, friends.
