Amillennialism: An Eschatology for Unhappy People
Some people can only be happy if they're fringe. These people thrive on disagreement. These people could never be happy if they found themselves in the majority. These are amillennialists.
At first I woke up feeling well rested. I looked at the clock at it was 11:30pm. "Well, that's not going to work," I thought. Back to sleep. I woke up again at 4am and managed to half-sleep until 04:30, at which point I started getting ready for the gym.
I got H and J out of bed a little while later. We were parking in front of the gym at 04:58 – two minutes before its official opening time – ready to swim. The door was unlocked so we got busy with swimming. H and J each spent time on the treadmills and doing weights. J looked hysterical on the elliptical, flying along.
When we got back home around 06:30, H and J made chocolate milks and each ate a couple hardboiled eggs. The aftermath was truly impressive. Usually I think of W (an actual baby) as being messy with his food. I'm not sure what went on during their breakfast. Bits of egg all over the floor. By the time I noticed their mess, I called out to J who I discovered was cocooned in a blanket on the couch in the living room, completely sound asleep. H followed shortly thereafter.
While we were eating breakfast, S got changed, woke up A, and they went off to the gym. We've got new kick boards and goggles for the kids, so S is intent on getting A to be capable of swimming. He has got a long way to go with that. Hopefully if we're regular about practice throughout the off-season, he'll be ready to go when swim season comes around next year.
