So, Today I'm Thinking...

...that I can't figure out how Auburn scored 27 points to win their game last night but didn't score an touchdown on offense.
...that when Shelby dances in a performance you can literally see how happy she is. Hours involved & dollars paid & travel time consumed all have a tangible payoff.
...that sanctions against North Korea ultimately won't have the desired effect.
...that it's pretty cool when you find a great Sicilian pizza worth the 40-minute drive in--of all places--an obscure strip mall in Fort Worth.
...that it might be the wisest course of action for parents to teach their children the importance of submission to authority rather than threatening lawsuits over any extracurricular activity.
...that when your daughter has her learner's permit and you're on the city streets, you actually benefit from the driver's education reviews and see where she's picked up your own subtle "driving nuances" (read: "bad habits").
...that the experience of a Texas high school football game is something any sports fan would enjoy. I've been going a couple of times per season for 12 years now and it really is exciting.
...that youth ministers learn a great deal about human nature when it comes to letting teenagers decide who wants to room with who on the middle school fall retreat.
...that youth ministers learn a great deal about human nature when it comes to watching parent volunteers deal with problem solving when teenagers are deciding who wants to room with who on the middle school fall retreat.
...that the families in our neighborhood who get amped up for Halloween create some fun memories for kids with their skulls and ghosts and ghouls and fake tombstones--but the guy with the yard that looks like the last 5 minutes of a horror movie takes the cake.
...that the encouragement our staff is getting from the Body of Christ--from both inside and outside our local gathering--is awfully nice, and helpful on some tough days.
...that the list of stuff that needs to be done for home repairs that I've let slide needs to get more stuff checked-off than added-to. The latter has been the rule rather than the exception.
...that the Dallas Stars are 4-0 to start the season and no one knows about it.
...that my attempt at evening blogging was a failed bit. I think I'm too tired at the end of the day. Plus, I'm definitely a morning person.
...that it's funny to me that I'll stop what I'm doing or run into a room to watch if a Sonic commercial comes on. They all seem to make me laugh.
...that it's supposed to rain pretty solidly for the next three or four days and I've got a stack of books I plan to get after--and/or a nap or two or three to take.
