Science (non) Fiction

only to discover that the strains I started growing last night (which is why I came in early - to get them re-started this morning before going to work out) did not grow!!!! Grrrrr… oh well, at least I have tomorrow before I have to talk with my boss…
A few small things…

I’m still in the midst of ‘discussing’ my luggage situation with United - the last person I talked with left me with some hope that they will actually do something, but she had to talk to her boss, so she’s supposed to call me today - we’ll see…

I saw ‘In her shoes’ with Becky late Sat night - and it was quite funny and much better than I expected - I could even tolerate Cameron Diaz in it, and I loved everyone else in it (Toni Collette, Shirley MacLaine, etc) - it was laugh-out-loud funny - but maybe only for girls…

My brother starts a new part-time job today - I called him this morning and he was stuck in traffic on 485 going around Charlotte - good luck today Macks!

My alma mater’s homecoming is this weekend, and while I was planning to attend, I’m still not really caught up from the Seattle trip, so I don’t know that I can justify another weekend away - plus that’s another sub for nursery that I’d have to find, and the beach weekend is the weekend after, so I’m already going to have to find one for that - speaking of nursery though, I got recruited to help out in the 1st grade (well, I think it was 1st grade - maybe kindergarten - they were 5 years old) since one of their teachers was out and we had 4 adults in my nursery room - and it was a nice change of pace, but I definitely like the younger kids (ie 6-18 months) better - I guess they’re not as cute once they can start talking back…

Oh, and congrats to Andie and Chuck on the new baby girl - I don’t know them very well (actually I only barely know Andie and don’t know Chuck at all) but I’ll be praying for y’all!

And I got a new praise/worship CD from Sovereign Grace Ministries - it’s really good and I like this one especially:

This Fathomless Love

Lord what moved Your heart
To love lowly man
Before any star could
Herald Your praise
And why did You come
Abasing Yourself
Veiled in a robe
Of frail human clay
Why would You the pure
Give Your life for the vile
The innocent Seeking the guilty
To be reconciled

Chorus
I can’t comprehend
This fathomless love
I’m gripped and amazed
At what You have done
Why would the Adored
Become the despised
To bear all the furious wrath
That was mine
How awesome this mystery
of Your fathomless love for me

Why would You adopt
And take as Your own
Those who had crushed
Your one precious Son
Why mercy and grace
Towards Your enemies
Your name they have cursed
And Your throne they have shunned
Oh how could You choose
To show kindness to these
The ones who would
Mock You and hate You
The ones just like me
