My Shabbat Seven: v2010.02.27

These are a few of the more peculiar things for which I've been grateful this week...

Arizona Carpenter Jeans | So I've conceded that I'm no longer even close to 'hip' in terms of fashion. Old Navy used to be my preferred jeans, but they changed their designs every year. Last year I tried to ride the wave of fashion trends and purchased jeans that sit "just below the waist." I tried and I hate them. The search began for a brand of carpenter (I like the little pocket for my cell phone) jeans that still sit "at the waist". I went to JC Penny and eureka! Arizona Jean Company, thank you for remembering the market share that is the older young adult has-beens of the 00's fashion trends like myself. You have my business (until you stop making carpenter jeans that sit at the waist).
Sunshine | O, how I have missed thee / Sunshine, you and me / We belong together / How I ache for warmer weather

Saving Christmas toys | What began as a normal, ho-hum, chilly, February Friday soon turned into a morning of adventure. JT & I opened 2 of the toys we'd put back after Christmas: memory farm animals and the cash register. Both scored as huge hits.

"Where does God live?" | My 3-1/2-year-old has begun his quest for theological sense. An adorable way of keeping this father/pastor on his toes. The follow-up questions included "Why is he up in the air?" and "Where is his house?"

Monopoly Deal | It's a quick version of the classic board game. A couple evenings every week recently have ended with a double round of this card game between Alison & I.
Spring Training | Though all I get is the spots on the 6 o'clock or 10 o'clock news, the fact that the Cardinals are getting ready to play ball is a welcomed onslaught of hope to my I'm-tired-of-winter-ness.

Baptisms | We celebrated the baptism of a young girl in worship this morning. 'Nuff said. Go God!


Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
