I’ve got a ticket to ride

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

Actually, 2 tickets. I’m truly in awe. A student gave me two airline tickets anywhere Southwest flies. What? I’ve never gotten a gift like that. Crazy. Now where to go?

I’ve found my Christmas mojo…

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

now if I could only get some energy and time.

I realized today that I have been so busy trying to depart from what Christmas is NOT supposed to be, that I was failing to grab ahold of  what it is supposed to be. I love birthdays. I love celebrating the amazing miracle that God saw fit to create each one of us and we all get to share in that miracle.

So, Christmas is a birthday party, right? And, I also love birthday parties. So, what better birthday party to celebrate than the one an only Savior of the World? I’m now ready to begin the decorating and preparing for the big day. My only problem now is finding the time and when I do, having the energy left to do it. We are getting a tree this weekend…maybe if I go to bed early the rest of the week, I’ll be ready.

Anyway, I hope you have a blast celebrating. I plan to.

God’s redemption in Vons

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

I went to Vons tonight. I don’t normally shop at Vons. I prefer on of the other big chains. Why? I think it is misguided loyalty from working there fresh out of high school. anyway, I was finishing up my shopping and it was pretty crowded. I was backtracking to grab something I missed when the lady in front of me stopped suddenly. I bumped her lightly with my cart and the guy behind me bumped me not so lightly. I was more irritated with the guy behind me for some reason and rolled my eyes over my shoulder and shook my head like the good loving Christian that I am. :( The lady that caused the pile up apologized and I moved on somewhat annoyed that the guy didn’t apologize. I started to get in line and looked over at him trying to catch his eye and make sure he knew he had done me wrong. As I eyed him, wanna guess what I saw?

A cane. A white cane. With a red tip.

Yeah, I’m an ass. Had I taken a minute to look around I may have seen that he was pretty much legally blind, squinting at the signs to find something and didn’t see me.

I was mentally flogging myself when I realized I needed something else on my list. So I ran over to the aisle and there was the guy. I heard him asking a lady where something was. She didn’t know and couldn’t find it. I saw it right away and got his attention. I was able to show him where it was.

Thanks God for letting me help him after I acted like an idiot. Even if he didn’t know.

Adolescence

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

My son was told to change his pants. I felt they were a little too dirty to be worn twice. He threw himself on the wall, wailing “Nooooooo. Whyyyyyy? They’re fine!”

Hum. Adolescence reminds me a lot of toddler-hood. Great.
