My brain...

Several random thoughts:

Jen Scheft has had plenty of attractive, sincere, successful proposing bachelors to choose from the past 2 years. I echo the words of one audience member, ‘What’s it going to take?’ That’s all I’m going to say about that for now.

I have eaten more cough drops in the past 4 days than one person should in their entire lifetime. My sister Lacey once fell asleep with a cough drop in her mouth and (prepare yourself, this is kinda sick), for about a week after, lost whole sections of taste buds… they just stripped off. Gross, I know. And since I’m talking about really gross things, it IS possible to wake up and have your nose running down the side of your face like drool… I mean, not that something so sick has ever happened to me, I’m just saying…

Apparently I had a pet pig when I was three. I didn’t know anything about this until my dad was recounting to me the story of Snorkel the Pig this morning (My dad named him). I guess we bought as a little piglet and raised him for meat. As the story goes, we had him until late fall and then he was slaughtered. My dad said that when he opened the freezer, he expected me to get upset. Instead I excitedly said ‘Hey, there’s Snorkel!’ To this my dad said he thought to himself ‘Blood thirsty kid…’ I seem to have a history with not minding about pets being eaten. I had a duck in middle school that I named Laettner after my favorite Minnesota Timberwolf (Of course, this was the extent of my knowledge of college basketball, I had a crush on him and they won March Madness that year). We ate him too. (Sorry PETA).

I recently added the movie ‘Luther’ (as in Martin Luther and the Reformation) to my personal DVD collection. I highly recommend this movie to anyone. It truly changed my life. It came out in select theatres shortly before the Passion of the Christ, and didn’t get nearly as much press. Granted, it didn’t carry quite the significance or spiritual weight of the Passion, but it affected my life in a huge way and incited in me to be more bold and unapologetic in my faith. Plus, it’s important for us to understand the heritage of faith that we come from. A must see.
