fun at the fair!

Fun at the Fair

The predominant thing I want to do at the fair is eat! I have a few things in mind that are musts such as Saratoga chips, apple french fries, apple dumplings, and root beer. I am very excited and I hope you are too.

I have attached the fair schedule: http://www.ncstatefair.org/2007a/General/10-17-07.htm
Racing pigs could certainly be fun and I always love the fireworks.

Please comment on anything you are getting pumped about too!

What really grinds my gears...MODEST CATTLE EDITION

Do you know what really grinds my gears? The words that come out of my mouth. Let me setup the familiar situation. It's a good ole modest cattle Wednesday night study and we've read this week's passage, and have been asked a somewhat vague question about it. There's a good 30 seconds of silence when one brave sole (I'm rarely this person) comes out with an answer. Our group quickly starts warming up to conversation about the topic, and I decide I wanna contribute something significant to the conversation. After some deep pondering I come up with something that, in my head at least, seems to be very profound.

I thought that once this statement was made, it'd be so profound, that I'd expect everyone's faces to be glowing like Moses' as he came down from Mount Sinai. So after a little pause in the conversation, and a 2 second courtesy wait I speak my profound words of wisdom..."So when Jesus says love your neighbor...I think it means we shouldn't hate our...uh...neighbor"...wait...WHAT?!? What just came out of my mouth?...that was the dumbest thing I could have said...,Sadly though instead of cutting my losses...I keep going. "Um...what I meant was that...ya see...love is good, and hating is...uh...well, Webster defines love as the...um...Lisa, didn't you have something to say?"

Sad to say when it comes to making answers up on the spot...I'm what you'd call the anti-C S Lewis. I'm not always the best with...um...words. However it does remind me of what James says in the Bible about words...or I mean the tongue where when you say something, you can't...um...or your tongue can't take back the...er...I think it has something to do with putting toothpaste back in a tube or...oh boy...

...and that's what really grinds my gears.

Also, I would like to know your thoughts on an idea the ladies have had. I was hoping to start a monthly rotation of random matchups in our group with the intent of getting to know one another better. So you could be matched up with 1-2 other people in the group and meet to hang out grab lunch or coffee. Let me know what you think: jera.mendenhall@gmail.com

If you would like to step up a lead our bible study discussion or lead it with me, let me know. I know you get tired of hearing me talk!

Thanks!
