wonderful weekend

saturday i had some of my cousins over for lunch. then we hung out and played some wii. bowling went pretty well...but not so much the golf.










sunday morning i missed a call. upon checking the voicemail it was someone speaking to me in spanish. listening a little more i found that is was spanish prof from college, her ministry team, the wadi walkers, were performing in manhattan at 11. so i went. it brought back some good college memories. and i got to see one of the girls i often hung out with last year. it was a small but friendly church and the performance was great. yay central!



then i went ice skating with some people from my life group. it had been awhile since i last went, but i did pretty well. didn't fall. i think my favorite part was a kid who kept skating full speed into the sides. he looked up and said, "i can't stop very well".

lights meeting on the road

for several days now i've been wanting to write about this.

when i first started driving i particularly enjoyed driving at night uphill approaching someone. because when i did sometimes i would see what i call the lights meeting on the road. this is when you can clearly see where your lights end on the road and where the approaching cars lights end on the road. and between these two points there is darkness. and suddenly you can see the lights come together. the darkness disappears. i find this so cool.

i tell many people about this while riding with them, but few actually see it. so next time you're driving at night uphill and approaching a car see if you can see it. it's pretty cool. and i hope the small things in life bring you joy.

ground hog day

so every year on this day people look to a little furry animal to find out if spring will soon arrive. a ground hog has everyone's attention. however, if ya think about it, we're in kansas, and it's febraury, that means spring isn't coming soon. it doesn't matter what the ground hog sees or doesn't see, the weather will never be predictable here. but i'm glad we have a ground hog to tell us, aren't you?
