Watch out for 'particles'

I've been sneezing so much today, it's unreal. These allergies are driving me nuts. But there ARE positive sides to this experience:

1. You become holy. At least I feel that way, considering the number of 'God bless you's I've received.
2. When your nose turns red, you almost feel like Rudolph...without the fur...or the ability to fly...
3. Snot makes a great hand lotion.
4. I get to be the ONE guy who gets to say "I hate spring" when everyone else loves it.
5. You get to test just how well a human being could function if they had only one functioning nostril.
6. Sneezing is a great way to get out of unwanted conversations.
7. It gives people living in Decatur something to blog about when there's nothing worth blogging about...

Well, actually, this was a good weekend, mainly this morning at church. Had a good crowd. We shook the band up a bit by subbing in Jeremy on drums and his wife, Allison, on vocals. Music felt pretty powerful this morning, too. The hair on the back of my neck actually stood out during a cool transition to the part that goes "Lord, I feel like dancing..." in the song "I Could Sing of Your Love Forever." Pretty powerful moment of feeling God's presence there. It's hard to explain...you're just worshipping, then suddenly, you 'connect.' Very cool.

After church, we headed to Ruby Tuesday's for some grub, then to Lowe's, then we came home, where Stacey and I did a CRAPLOAD of cleaning for small group...

...Which was, 'small,' to say the least...only J-mo, Eli, Stacey, and myself. Everyone else, well, YOU GUYS ALL DISSED US! No good bums... (did I actually type that?). Heh, just kidding. It was still a good night of chilling out after a busy weekend.

Uh oh...gotta go sneeze...again...

QUOTES OF THE DAY:

Me: "Eric said Wendy was home b/c one of the kids was sick, but I don't think he really thinks they're sick."
Jeremy: "Does Eric EVER really believe his kids are actually sick? I think he's like, 'You're not sick. Get up!'" (Hehe).
