ok so i am legally required to tell you something about my day… and by “legally required” what i really mean is i really, really want to… so here are a few random tidbits…
i made up a song about peanuts as i walked around the house snacking on some peanuts.
i went on a four-hour quest to find a MASSIVE (and by massive i mean that a family of six could literally eat dinner off this sucker) bulletin board to put my world map on so i can be mindful of where the Lord has taken me and be mindful to be sure and pray for *all* of the nations by name.
standing in the checkout line in walmart (a palace of consumerism whose largest bulletin board is an astonishingly measly 24 x 36 in.) behind three older gentlemen speaking spanish i randomly burst into the chorus of “don’t stop believing” (including some slightly less-than-subtle head-banging). all three men burst into a chorus of laughter… doubled-over, in fact. it’s like i forget i’m in public sometimes… i think it mostly has to do with being unashamed of my silliness because i know the Lord delights in it.
after dinner tonight in my new home (with the m. family) i put the tea kettle on so i could have a cup of tea. in a matter of minutes, flames a foot high were shooting out of the burner. for a moment i stood there gawking, holding the tea kettle and thinking “oh my goodness i’m going to burn their house down! Lord! please don’t let me burn their house down!” then, not knowing if we had a fire extinguisher, all i could manage was a feeble crying out of s.‘s name. then common sense kicked in: i was holding a kettle of water. duh. i called s. a little more loudly and promptly dumped the kettle out on the burner. there was still a small flame when s. came in and blew it out. let me tell you folks. it was a bit of a moment.
so yes. all in all it was a pretty eventful day. ::grin::
