Happy Things

Happy things now (from Tiffany and me) . . .

• Abram's Atrocious Aggregation
• Finishing meal preps 20 minutes early and being dismissed
• Babysitting a 6-month-old
• 5-Day clubs!
• Watching a baseball game with Jill
• Being called "Mom"
• Kimberly S. knowing about the Green Monster, even though she didn't know what it was
• Kimberly S. not knowing what the "KissCam" and "FlexCam" were
• Rev. Pokone's Sunday School lessons and truths about joy strength, suffering well, and returning to joy running through my heart
• That I have a number of "return to joy" people (people who help me do it) in my life
• Getting very wet on the bumper boats at Great Times
• Not needing a dictionary to check words when playing "Draw One" with the Kus (even though they wouldn't accept Alison's using "fatso." They didn't know the meaning of "jive," so they couldn't forbid that.)
• Frisbee golf
• Liking sugar less and less
• Ideas from God
• The thought of Tiffany and Micah being Joel's leaders
• Micah telling Tabitha, "If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit" as he questioned her media choices, and her shooting back, "But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law!"
• Table team sharing: "I read in November . . . uh, no -- Numbers!
• Water balloon fights . . . & more!
• Ashia: "Cynthia just looks innocent so everyone feels sorry for her, but she's really not."
• A rainy day
• Tessa sharing why she didn't have devotions: "And then I fell back asleep and dreamed about Andy Griffith."
  Someone else: "That was a good devotional."
• "It just gets worse and worse!" --Tina C., after someone suggested that Mr. Gergeni be the EQUIP graduation speaker, during a heated discussion in girls' leaders' meeting
  (To clarify, Tina was referring to the lack of decision making ability the group was showing at the moment, not to an opinion of Mr. Gergeni's worth as a speaker. But it sure was comical!)
