Catching my attention:

This post at Hope's blog grabbed me today, because of the lyrics she quoted (though I admit to not particularly enjoying the song) and because of a conversation I had earlier this week about St. Maximillian Kolbe (that video is most definitely worth watching.)

This article about rebuilding from an earthquake in Peru, two years on.

These lyrics. More on that coming sometime soon.

Daily 5 - Day 4

Today's daily 5 moments of joy etc.:

1. a fantastic and challenging sermon at church tonight
2. seeing a movie solo this afternoon
3. a day that felt quite peaceful for the first time in a while
4. plans to spend the next hour or so curled up in bed, writing a piece that's been stirring in my heart for several days
5. leftover vietnamese food for dinner
   

Couldn't Pass This Up (Church Signs)

I'll admit to being alternately mildly amused or mostly disgusted by the trend that has emerged in recent years for churches to put attempts at pithy humor on their signboards. (Has anyone ever actually visited a church because the sign read "God answers knee-mail"?)

In any case, as I was driving home tonight, I did a double take and began laughing out loud. May I recommend checking your spelling if you're trying to post wisdom on your church sign board for the world to read. There was a high degree of humorous irony when I read the following on a church sign board near my home:

God is perfect. People make misteaks.

I mean, you see these things on the internet from time to time, but it was just too funny to see this one in person. I'm debating going back tomorrow and taking a photo!

Saturday Mid-day

I'm having a fairly restful and peaceful Saturday. Sort of a nice change of pace actually.

I've done some errands (and have more to do).

I went and got a massage (so thankful for insurance coverage!)

I saw a movie solo.

And now, I think I'm going to take a nap. I made it home and my energy is waning. I'm hoping to go to church tonight, but right now, I think I need to sleep.
