What day is today?

Whenever someone asks me, “Hey, what day is it?” I usually reply, “I don’t know—I’m an entrepreneur. Every day is a workday.” Except for Sundays. It’s Jesus’ Day—Church Day.


I’m not saying this to come across as overly Christian or holier-than-thou or anything like that. In fact, for the last few years, I didn’t go to church at all. But recently, I found value in a really good church and I’ve started attending religiously (see what I did there?).


For instance, just before recording this, I thought today was Friday. I checked my phone and realized, oh, it’s Saturday—because I was literally getting ready to go to work.


What else should I be doing? Raising kids? I don’t have kids—I didn’t want them. Watching TV or movies? Sure, I do that, but it’s in between work. It’s when I’m done for the moment, when I’m saturated and need a break. I’ll put on Black Panther, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, or Transformers—the 2007 one, none of the others.


Then I go right back to work. I get tired, I sleep a little, and then it’s back to work again.


There’s just so much work to be done in this world. So many people have destabilized, messed up, and ruined so much. Some of us are just here to fix the mess. And that’s what we do—fix the mess.

Michael Jackson once called Sunday a “Black day” with the line, “What a black day.” In a sense, he wasn’t wrong.
