TOM AND JERRY

So as of today, I need to add to the collection of wild animals in my house...a mouse and a stray cat. I think we should start closing the front door...

POP IT LIKE ITS HOT

A couple of my fingers now pop in and out of joint as I move them. This is definitely not normal, but fascinating. I have no idea what I did to my hand when I fell. I just hope I can write with it again some day...well, without pain. Sigh...that sounds so nice. You don't realize how much you use something until you can't anymore. I am grateful for my right hand though...without which I wouldn't be able to do much of anything!

THE INVITE

I got invited to my first Cambodian wedding!! The groom couldn't tell me what day it is going to be...so typical. Some things are universal...

LIFE TOGETHER

I love this quote too much not to quote it. I just started reading Life Together by Bonhoeffer today...I am now going through it with my "community" here. Already, I have a much deeper appreciation for the relationships I have been blessed with. This quote is not so much about that, but it stood out because it convicted me..all within the first page. Always a sign of a good read..(oh so this is me quoting Bonhoeffer quoting Luther hah...no plagiarizing here)

"'The Kingdom is to be in the midst of your enemies. And he who will not suffer this does not want to be of the Kingdom of Christ; he wants to be among friends, to sit among roses and lilies, not with bad people but the devout people...'"

9:00 AM

It's only 9 in the morning, but I am so confident nothing can top the news that I just got. After my grandfather passed away a week ago, I just found out this morning that he left me money! Well, left all the grandkids money. It definitely doesn't replace his presence by any stretch, but is completely exciting to the broke, jobless person that I am at present. Seriously could not be more excited!!!!!!!
