pet peeves #1-3, update

1. people smoking cigarettes near a window but getting NONE of the smoke out of the window. this is almost comical. don’t you understand fluid dynamics? don’t blow the smoke in my face, even though i appreciate your attempts to be considerate.

2. cat’s purrs–it sound like a helicopter hovering above my face.

3. people leaving the water BOILING HOT coming out of a sink faucet. this hurts my heart and my hands

 

soooOoOOo besides me complaining, i went home for an extended thanksgiving weekend. it was ok. i had some vegan stuffing, gravy, and mashed potatoes!! yum! i got to see all my friends and family, which was great. at the same time, i think getting older is hard. the negative attributes of my family become more and more real every time i go home. i think the most important thing to remember is that ALL OF US are messed up in some way. *i* can’t save anyone, nor can my dad, nor can my sister, nor can my brother. i thank GOD that i am clothed with HIS holy grace, because no matter the state of anyone, this is the only gaurantee and the most precious sate of being.

 

1 Peter 1:8-9

⁸ Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, ⁹ for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
