grab-bag

- This morning in church, a guest speaker from Brazil gave a mission update. In the midst of it, he said, "A church should be a hospital, not a hotel." I thought that was rather profound, yet simple. Think about it.

- Last night, some friends and I went contra dancing down in our small granola-y town... and after two and a half hours of gypsying and allemande-ing, hot and sweaty, we decided to go through the "open until 2am" drive-thru at a local fast-food joint. Since there were too many of us to fit in one car, we decided to just walk through the drive-thru. Low and behold, they actually call it a "drive-thru" for a reason... apparently, they don't serve two-footed (four would be ok?!) pedestrians. Hypothetically, it violates a fast-food code of conduct (apparently they have those??)...

- And friends, at ninety-four degrees and humid, I think I finally understand why the phrase "hot as h-e-double-hockey-sticks" came into being. I was not made for this heat...
