"I think I froze the left half of my brain...
...look, I can't move my right arm!" (Charles De Mar, Better Off Dead - GREAT 80s movie)...
Sheesh, it's cold. Very...cold. Probably was stupid to sit outside tonight and watch the meteor shower, too. I can't feel my...extremities. But, it was worth it. Saw several dozen meteors, including some of those big ones that leave long trails across the sky called 'earth grazers,' or something like that. Some of them even changed color (from white to green) as they blazed across the sky. Overall, it was pretty cool to spend time out there and ACTUALLY see meteors...pretty cool testaments to God's creation, IMO.
The weekend, though long, wound up being a really good one. Spent pretty much all day Saturday re-arranging the bonus room. I swapped the location of the computers with the location of the futon/entertainment center. I think it makes better use of our space up there. On the downside, though, my back's been sore as a mother ever since. Had to move all the furniture myself, since pregnant women (like Stacey) aren't supposed to lift heavy objects. D'oh!
On Sunday, Chad came up for church. It was good to see him before he moves to New Orleans... He's been kinda like the last 'remnant' of my old life in Birmingham...the only steady friend I've kept in touch with since my Mountaintop days.
I found his engagement of the worship to be pretty encouraging. Heh, by that, I mean watching people like him and Stacey actually get 'into' the worship experience that morning was a good thing. No baggage. No crap. No 'issues.' Just honest, sincere desires to seek God and worship. No "I had a crappy week" issues. No "something's wrong with the music" issues. -Sigh- Honestly, I think Crosspoint could greatly benefit to see a few people like him get involved...to see people get involved with a passion for God...plain and simple...
Sunday night, Philip, Leslie, Wes, Kim, and (eventually) J-mo made it out to small group. We just chilled out, played some PC games, then got into a viscious match of Mario Kart. Though I pulled out on top in most races, J-mo won one or two and even Philip - once he got the hang of it - became a tough competitor. Sadly, Leslie's "kart skilz" were reminiscent of what it might be like to drive on ice with bald tires. LOL. Still, she had fun, and if we can get Eli back into the game, Leslie would have some fair competition. Heh!
Anyway, going to go boil my hands in hot water or stick my head in the gas fireplace to try to warm up a bit.
Peace...
