It's 11 p.m...I feel like I just woke up and went skydiving.
Oops.
I was at Starbucks tonight to help edit a bible study.
I learned some things about myself:
- I should not drink Chai Tea late in the evening...or in public.
- I should not eat a cupcake after drinking tea. I thought maybe it would be so much sugar that I would crash and want to nap. Not so dear friends. I'm as chatty as a chipmunk and as jittery as a jellyfish..
- I'm one of a handful of people who immediately think of Jean Luc Picard and the whole Star Trek crew when I see or hear the word, "engage".
- I, and everyone else who lives in 1947, think the phrase, "For the birds" means that something is of no worth. It couldn't possibly be referring to real birds...right?
- I have a giant bible. It's the size of a dictionary.
- I find it embarrassing to lug a GIANT bible into a Starbucks.
- I immediately find myself laughing at the fact that I find the WORDS OF GOD that give people LIFE embarrassing, but I'm not ashamed of buying a huge donut. Apparently I'm fine with being profiled as a sugar addict, but not fine with being seen as a Christian.
- I should expect a man to walk up to me five seconds after I decide (after praying for strength) that the bible is a good thing to be seen with. He starts talking to me about GOD!!! Who'd have thunk it.
- I should start carrying my giant bible around with me more (literally and figuratively speaking). Lets talk about Jesus!
