i love fridays. hot ones. like tim allen's line in the movie jungle 2 jungle: "what'd they call this place again? the surface of the sun?!?!" (correction to yesterday's blog: that was matchbox 20, not smash mouth)
.
work was nice today, though not much was accomplished. i did get to chat to a good friend and colleague today though. the conversation went from work to god. and when you get two people like us talking about god, we can justify missing a little work for the sake of encouraging one another. but i got to cut out early today too, which was great in and of itself.

sarah and the girls hit a cool little 'splash park' in medina today. neat little concrete pad with water coming out of it. based on the pictures, it looked crowded, but our little socialites took to it well. now if we can start getting them to talk about jesus in those super social situations, others will be all set... for eternity. and as i flipped through sarah's photographic prowess, it reminded me that they are not biologically mine... i hate water.

so i get off work early to come home and mow my acre before pizza and a movie. i'm about 15 minutes from finishing when i double take a friend out of the corner of my eye. i get off the deere to great him. it was a good chat other than making fun of my pink shirt. not long into it, he asks if we still need a weed eater. i say yes, but that another friend of ours had been talking about getting his fixed and bringing it over one day so i can get some trimming done. so herb motions and says, 'come over to the car, i've got something for you.' wouldn't you know it, herb and his wife bought me a weed eater! it's not a life or death situation, but god is good to us. coincidentally, after dinner i notice i have a voicemail on the cell. somehow i missed a call. it was dad. he said he had emailed me at work but didn't know if i had received it... i hadn't b/c i left early. in it, he told me to go ahead and go buy myself a weed wacker and he'd reimburse me. wow... you know it's bad when god's telling you that you need a weed wacker! thank you herb, elaine, mom, and dad. may the lord bless you for your servitude to us!

netflix sent us ratatouille tonight. this was a great flick which i would recommend to everyone. cute, clean, imaginitive... you name it. i'd buy it if i could, just for myself.
.
our house is like neopolitan ice cream... three flavors. the basement feels like air conditioning, the main living floor is hot, and the upstairs is a sauna. i remember growing up sleeping in the boiler. i figure i've done my time... but i still don't want the little ones to have to go through it now. it's hot!
.
and to wrap it up, here's my spiritual rant for the day...
have you ever heard this argument: "if there is no god, then you and i are both in the same boat. however, if there is a god, then what does that mean for you when judgement comes? i know i'm going to heaven b/c i choose to believe god exists." i dislike this. if you're a christian, you shouldn't be saying "if" god exists. he does.

here are two cute pictures of the girls from today's watery extravaganza. sonja's in the blue speedo. alex is in the pink bikini.
