Mondays
Mondays… It can’t be a bad thing to like Monday’s.
Pris is two weeks into her trip… that means we get her and Angel back in less than two weeks now. Good.
Got into the van to go to work only to discover that one of the drunk girls who came out last night had finally succumbed to the demands of her churning stomach. Ugh… sweet. We load the students into it Friday and Sunday nights. They love it. That last trip must have put the poor kid over the top. 15 years old and drunk… I feel so bad for them.
Helped a neighbor with their dog this arvo. Not a pleasant experience. The dog needed to be put down. A rabid fox attacked it. Interestingly enough, I discovered that if your dog bites someone in Ukraine, the fine is 17 grievny ($2). If you kill someone’s dog, you can get a year in prison! Strike!
We enjoyed Marie’s beef stroganoff for tea! She is going to make some lucky bloke fat someday. :) Between her, Shane, Cheryl and Alexandra, we certainly haven’t suffered a lack of good cooking while Pris has been away.
Tonight, I played a game with the girls and then watched Pride and Prejudice with them. It’s a good old movie. Good? I still enjoy the rather simple plot… with viewing #10 surely coming up soon.
During the movie, I discovered that I’d broken my phone during a drop this morning. (I should never have taken that case off yesterday!) So while I’m typing this, I’m fixing an old phone and transferring all my “stuff”. It is fascinating how tied I am to a phone! Who would have guessed it 10 years ago?
Today at work, I listened to a podcast by a pommie about a debate between some young earth proponents and some old earth yobbos. Interestingly enough, I found myself in sympathy with the Christians who were suggesting that our earth was old and not just created several thousand years ago. I was talking about it with the lads and realized a couple of things. I don’t care what a person believes about the creation of the world as long as they believe that God created it and that Jesus is Lord. The second thing is that a literal seven day creation is a bit of a holy cow for us evangelicals. I find it hard to dispense with believing that God created the world in 6 days. I must say that I felt no compunction to do so and still reckon that’s how He did it, but long-held beliefs are just as hard for us to throw off as for the non-christian. Logic wins some souls, but I’m convinced that finding opportunities to reveal the love of God and then doing it
?
is of far more benefit that superb logic.
Enjoy life!
