I was going to write about some of the good things that are taking place all around me:
- the Sublett life group is kicking! Some great new friends, stimulating conversation, good eats…developing a sense of community and connectedness.
- Levi and I are headed to the Dominican Republic in a few days. We love going to visit our friends at the Rose of Sharon orphanage, investing in the lives of the young people who live there. Our experiences there have changed our family forever.
- the city church has been invited by the State College police to be a friendly and sober presence downtown during this weekend’s fake holiday, State Patty’s Day. We’ll be downtown praying and walking.
But instead of dwelling on the positive (who wants to hear that?) let me issue a warning: watch your step when you must cross the ice that forms as the snow melts out of the back of my truck. If you’re not careful, you’ll find yourself sprawled out on the driveway, knee all scratched up and bleeding, wrist pounding from the landing, with an ego-bruise to boot. My brother-in-law calls that special move “doing the duff.”
I nailed it today. Right as the grad student tutor was backing out of the driveway. Nice way to finish of what had been a good run at the YMCA.
Oh well, that’s the way it goes sometimes. I’m think I’m going to stick to the positives, and maybe get a bandaid or 2.
