just another day...
Trish converted. Yep. It's true. She purchased a MacBook yesterday. So, I have lost my lovely spouse to the Macmonster. I too will likely join her. A divided home yada yada.
But we dropped significant coin. And then on the way home the brakes in the car went kerflooie. We got it to the service station with no serious trouble. But it is a big bill to replace all the brakes and pads. I guess I should save for the transmission now. I drive stick.
This is great news: The carpet guys are at the house right now finishing the basement! This means that we can finally unpack! Huzzah! Hooray!! So, if you are coming to the One of the Girls gig this Sunday, know that you are welcome to come a little early for eats and then come after to lounge on the back porch...or the basement!
Yay!
Finally, a quotation for you. Kudos to Amy.
"To consider your preaching of more importance than the opening of a flower is to leave the narrow path. To value certain appointments on your daily calendar and resent others as intrusions is to misunderstand the Word. To esteem and enjoy some people in your parish and to discount and dismiss others is to wobble blindly. To meet the needs of others and ignore the whispers of your own soul is to succumb to the illusion that there is a time more precious than now and a place more heavenly than here."Posted by tripp at July 20, 2006 02:02 PM-from The Art of Pastoring by William C.
