two days' worth of good stuff

okay this is going to be quick because i'm going to try to spend some time in the word and i'm close to bedtime.

Yesterday's highlight was a quick walk with a fantastic 360 degree view of our valley. the wind was strong and cold, the sky was mostly gray, and thick clouds covered the westerly mountains. there were also portions of clouds that curled back on themselves where they met the blue, and you could tell they were thick. looked like a storm was fast approaching! lots of mustards in bloom right now too. and i saw a fat caterpillar. and a rabbit that was so frightened by me that it all but sheared a rock face. it was amazing. i didn't know they could do that.

Today's highlight was the high school group i help out with through church. i haven't laughed so hard and consistently for a while. i mean, since i'm one of the leaders, i was trying to contain it somewhat, but they were really in top form tonight. one of the boys busted out with "baby got bible" a play on "baby got back" - no more needs to be said. i guess it's an ebomb? the other funny things were some made up words that sound so foul - "scrudel" and "weenis." uh-oh, you say, there goes her sense of humor back to junior high. oh well. i'm laughing. i love their excitement.

there you go.
