Definition: Serving Jesus

So I just stole this from Rachel's blog because I liked it so well and think it's rather profound. But I'm giving her credit and even linking to her blog, so that should be good, don't you think?

I do have a fondness for them, bless. They just need Jesus, and I'm here to serve him. That was a play on words. Serve, as in to follow him, and serve, as to serve on a plate with a side of fries. Not literally, of course, but as in to dish out Jesus, pass him around, etc. I better stop; I think this is starting to sound unintentionally blasphemous.

I love you Jesus.

Nikki made a really good cake for Michelle's birthday. I ate 2 pieces. It made me happy. She served it with Jesus too. Because I'm not the only one who serves Jesus.

This is for Robert who was worried because I haven't posted in a week...

This week has been so crazy!

But we finished Blue Moon, the interns at work are finished for the summer, Samuel's going to be fine so I don't have to worry about him (car wreck on Thursday), I actually went to church at FCC this morning and saw April and Gabriel for the first time in months, Anneke and Andrew are moving here in 6 days, and I'm going to a baby shower on Tuesday (by the by, it's so funny to me how many times I have had to answer the question if I have a kid while either crocheting a baby blanket or buying a gift for one of my friend's babies). So all in all, things have shifted gears a bit and I think this week might not be so much of a blur. Here's hoping!

6 degrees? 3 this time.

Yesterday Robert took me to Asheville on a date. It was nice, he told me to wear a skirt which is fun because I like dressing up on dates. On our way over the mountain, he realizes his phone is dead. Won't even turn on, which is pretty good timing since we were able to stop at the Verizon store in Waynesville and they are sending him a new one. If we hadn't been driving past it, he would have had to make an extra trip, and he really doesn't have a lot of free time to be able to do that right now.

The bad part of this, is that the address of where we were going to meet up with his friends, Ryan and Cortney, and their phone numbers were all in his phone and nowhere else. But. living in Franklin as we do, we started thinking. And I have John Mark's phone number in my phone from when he coached at the gym with me, and he is friends with and graduated with Caitlin who is Cortney's sister. So, I called John Mark, got Caitlin's phone number, left her a message, she was at work but happened to check her phone and called me back (and said she had just seen Scotty and Nikki at Michael's...what a small world) with the house phone number and address, so it all worked out. I love Franklin! We met up with them and had a fun time just talking and hanging out, ate at Cheddar's and then went to Cold Stone Creamery. Yum!

Legs

Ahhhhhhh!!! It's been three days since I've posted! I can't let myself slip back into the no posting pattern.

So what's new...

...you know how there's something you've know for a while, and then stopped doing it for a bit, and then you go back to it and you're like, "wow! This is great! Why did I stop doing this?" Like sugar scrub. I have sensitive legs (also very white legs, but that's beside the point) and when I shave I tend to get razor burn pretty good. But, if I use an exfolient before I shave, it's not so bad. And the cheapest and most effective method I've found is sugar. Just plain white sugar in a little screw top container I keep in the shower. I sometimes add a little bit of grapeseed oil to help moisturize. It's so simple and easy, and it works so well. But I ran out a good few months ago and just 2 days ago got around to re-filling my little container with sugar. I know, it's not that hard to do, but I kept on forgetting. So anywhoo, I'm enjoying smoother legs now.

Which brings me to tonight. I have spent the last 2 evening standing in for an actress who is out of town at rehearsals; taking her blocking notes, reading her lines, etc. And tonight I got to 'show off' my legs to another cast member and then kiss him on the cheek - except I didn't really. So that's two leg things this week.

Random.

And for those who wonder, I spoke with my father today and he is doing just fine.

He had retina reattachment surgery last week and the recovery process is rather difficult for him since basically he's not allowed to do anything. Just sit there. But he's being fairly decently behaved so far. I know it must be so boring not to be able to read or move much. He has been listening to CD's and watching some TV also.

Fell off the band wagon

I'm not going to complain. I take full responsibility for my actions and their natural consequences. I slept about 90 minutes last night because I was so engrossed in a book that I didn't stop til it was finished - at 6am. I casually thought once or twice about closing it and turning off the light, but I was fairly certain I wouldn't be able to just go to sleep. Oh well. I am a bookaholic. There are worse things. :)
