Happy Things

From Matt or me . . .

• Tyler Slash, when asked what Jesus' last words were: "I'll be back."
• Matt asking me if there were any significance in Todd's going-away DVD being on my bookshelf next to Let Me Be a Woman, then pointing out that it was flanked on the other side by Girl Talk
• Dr. Bechtle marveling over a light fixture hanging down in the second floor hallway: "I walked out of my office, and there it was, hanging in front of my nose, which seldom happens to me."
• Zuleima naming Sara her "fifth mom," Emily and Faith "aunts," Rachel J. "grandma," Jessica "great-aunt" and me "great-grandma!"
• Mary, in Character Suite, praying for snow (because it's hard to watch spring from the window)
• Lauren, on why she doesn't like skirts that button down the front: "When you run, the buttons fly off, and then you're wearing a glorified loin cloth!"
• Autumn imitating someone's accent while witnessing to her
• Victoria showing me "Innyanna" and "Teckas" on the U.S. map
• Watching "Jane Eyre--the Musical" with Faith
• "They must have gotten some extra sleep this morning." --Mrs. Paine's explanation for why Joey and Danny were helping with table set up
• Brian being back
• Tom encouraging guys to come to EQUIP
• Mary, picturing teaching The Prayer of Jabez at the detention center: "Lord, enlarge my borders!"
• Mary recommending that we do choir at the detention center and that I lead warmups: "Why me? Why me? Why me? . . ." (My response: "Because a lot of things.")
