Happy Things

Mostly from me, a couple from Kippany (yeah, guess which . . . I do not thrive on pain, nor do I enjoy meeting with myself)

 

• Ruthie, commending me for my choice to go to bed early instead of cleaning my bathroom: "Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and not your bathroom."
• Tabitha as my new "secretary"
• Meetings with Kendra
• Going to physical therapy . . . I thrive on pain!
• Hearing people's testimonies
• Caleb Murray asking his mom, "Is Mrs. Ritchie Patrick's dad?"
• Matt: "You would make a good reporter for the New York Times." -to Kendra, after she told him she had heard him say something he didn't actually say (well, didn't literally say)
• "My poor bathroom. It was insulted." -LIT, after getting a "Fair" on a room check and having the bathroom identified as a problem
• Math at brunch
• Trying to convince Abbie Norcross that her stuffed pig is real
• Trying to teach Abbie the word "perceptive" (because she insisted that I was the one making oinking noises)
• Megan telling the culinary girls her associations with "There's a New Name Written Down in Glory"
• Being reminded that former EQUIP students are real people with real needs, but so many are seeking to please Jesus and need prayer and encouragement
• Micah popping brown rolls out of his cargo pockets to chew on as he talks
• Josh Shipley and Micah as roommates . . .
  Micah, eyeing his Faith Journal on the bedroom table: "I think I'll leave that there so that I look righteous."
  Josh, reminiscing about a former roommate: "Joshua Wilkes did that, too, but that's because he was righteous."
