Sunday snippets...
The week sped by...last week started with me in Virginia drinking in the time with the Welty's and the new week begins with a glorious day at Covenant of Grace, fellowshiping with friends old and new and hearing the Word preached powerfully. In between, many reasons for giving thanks and praising God, living a life of moment-by-moment gratitude...How to love a liberal (if you really must): Kirsten Powers on the fraud of Planned Parenthood.
My husband surprised me with tulips this weekend--my favorite flower! (And Ava, they're purple!)
Got to hear a fun concert this afternoon with dozens of Broadway tunes. Why don't the shows from post-1970 hold a candle to the ones before that, huh? Seriously, RENT? (And I'd make a snide comment about Cats, which is my least favorite of all time, but some of my kids would make a snide comment about my taste. Happily, the concert bypassed Cats.)
I'm hungry for fish. Just thought you should know.
The Westboro decision this week by SCOTUS was one of those where you don't want to see either side win. Given the importance of freedom of speech I come down on the same side as the eight in the majority, but I so understand the the minority opinion. May God protect the families of fallen servicemen from the likes of the pseudo-Christians who would torment them. And may God bless the selfless veterans/bikers/other heroes who act as shields at the funerals.
This trip: one body scan, one patdown that bordered on sexual assault. Guess which one I would do again?
Still listening to Half the Sky, and still reading Azar Nafisi's excellent Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books. Both books are horrifying, important works on the plight of the world's women. We have no idea how blessed we are.
And now, off to enjoy my Pei Wei Thai Curry and watch the season of premier of Army Wives. Enjoy your week!
