2 for 1

Well, this is my second post today. Only because I didn't, actually, write the first one. I just copied and pasted it. It is something to think about, though. I know I waste far too much time and it goes by so quickly.

I missed not being able to post while we were away but enjoyed the time with my lovely wife. We had a great time. On Sunday night we had a rather unique dining experience. We went to a restaurant and everything was served family style. What's so unique about that you may ask. Well, when they seated us they took us to a table that seated about ten. There was, already, a family of four sitting there so my wife and I figured that we were going to be seated at the other end of the table. When the waitress sat our plates down right next to the other family, we were a bit surprised. Since we had to pass the food back and forth we began to talk. They were from Southern California and turned out to be very nice. We ended up having our faith in common, they were, also, Christians. We talked beyond closing time and then walked out together. We said our goodbyes and went our separate ways. It was fun and, as I said, unique. Maybe it would be good if this kind of thing were done more frequently. Think of the possibilities. While, it is true, you may end up beside someone with whom it is hard to get along, you may get a witnessing opportunity. I would not have chosen to sit there but it is these types of incidences (is that a word?) that remind me that God is in control and I am not. It is a good thing, too, because if I were Him I wouldn't want anything to do with me. I am glad He is gracious and merciful.

Oh well, I have to shave and get ready for class. Maybe I'll post tonight, we'll see. Until next time, have a good one.

And the quote for today is: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
Thomas Jefferson to William Stevens Smith, 1787
