It's is snowing in Lake Jackson, Texas. This is an unusual event - on average every 10 years or so. Or at least that used to be the case. The last time it snowed was only 4 years ago so it is coming more frequently. It must be global warming.
OK, I admit it I LOVE hot, humid weather. If you don't break a sweat going to the mailbox it's just not home.
I am curently sitting in Minneapolis where the temperature is 20ish F and they pump all of the moisture out of the air starting in October. I have only been here for slightly over one day and my skin is rebelling at the lack of humidity.
You are in Minneapolis? I am jealous. You can keep your hot humid weather, I prefer where I don't sweat the second I step outside. My apartment sits at 64 degrees and it is wonderful.
Have you ever driven by a business with an informational sign out front with pithy, inspirational, or humorous sayings and read, "The boss said to change the sign, so I did". Another case of following the letter of the law without heeding the spirit of the law. Have you or someone you know been guilty of the same offense?
Oh sure. I think we all at times have done something out of spite. We thought to outselves, "Well if that's what they want me to do then that is exactly how I will do it!" But we have no intention of pleasing them. We plan on going overboard and to such an extreme that the person will be offended by our actions. Then we will be ready with the comeback, "But that is what you TOLD me to do!"
People do it every day in an attempt to circumvent God's law. They use semantics to justify their desires but still be "acceptable". The Pharisees were quite notorious for that I recall.... and so are most teenagers.
We had to come back to LJ before they restored power because school was starting back up after Ike. I led singing Wednesday night so I chose, "There is Power in the Blood" to see if I could hurry things along. snicker, snicker
I called my home (for what seems like the 4000th time) on Thursday evening at 7:30 PM and magically heard my voice as the answering machine answered! "I Have the Power!"
Oh, dude, mollusks make the worst zombies ever. You better keep those little dudes under close observation. If your electricity goes out again, you're going to need a double-barrel shotgun, 25 feet of explosive tripwire and 3 gallons of peanut butter.
We completely understand ... it was quite late. I think I got to bed after 5:30 ... and the phone rang at 7:47 wanting to know if I could sub for the 4th grade ... "uhhh, no!" We, too, look forward to next April!
Hello there! I've gotten disconnected from you guys, but have wondered how you faired in the storm. We only lost two large trees and power for 18 hours. Sounds like y'all really had it rough! Hope things are back to normal now!
Oh, we still have our moments of silliness, but yes they grew up ok and I like the discussions that they can generate on occasion. Don't know how much credit Bubba and I can take, but thanks for the compliment.
