Sometimes you are in bed almost asleep at 8:54pm (I know, I know that’s super early and I’m an old fart…laugh all you want) and realize you haven’t turned in your Redbox movie, which is due at 9pm or you will get charged.

Sometimes you jump out of bed in a panic and run out of the house, so you don’t get charged that fee.

Sometimes you pull up to the Redbox machine at 8:58pm and are crushed to see that someone is very slowly picking out their movie to rent.

And sometimes, as you stand there hopping nervously in your pajamas and barefeet, said stranger (AKA my good Samaritan) senses your frantic dance and steps back quickly so you can put your DVD in the machine with a mere forty-five seconds to spare.

Thank you, kind stranger. Your simple act of selflessness made my night.

By Your Wounds We Are Healed

Today we are celebrating Christ’s sacrifice for us and rejoicing that He raised from the dead.

Listen and read the words of this song by Nichole Nordeman.

I am so thankful for His love for me.

“By your wounds we are healed.”

Here are some deep thoughts for you on this fine day:

-What if you became a narcoleptic just by staying up late too many times?

-What if in stressful situations, you could only sing opera?

-What if everyone had their own theme song that played whenever they walked into a room or their name was said?

-What if mold grew in your ear instead of ear wax?

-What if your muscles popped out if you swallowed big gulps of air?

-What if there was a certain kind of cannibal that only ate boobs?

Got any more deep thoughts to share or am I the only crazy around these parts? 😉
