Oh my God, did it sing?
For those who may not know this, my friend Teri is a wonderfully silly person. And I wouldn't have it any other way! It's not every day you find someone who can share in similar obsessions and even surpass you in some of them.
In other fun and fabulous news, I'm doing the Prepare-Enrich pre-marital, marital counseling class tomorrow. For some reason my mother finds this most amusing. I'm also doing the Spiritual Formation Immersion Weekend starting Thursday. My mother finds this also amusing, but for a different reason - one I actually understand.
In preparing for the Immersion Weekend I've been doing some reading. This quote by Frederick Beuchner from one of the books really stood out for me and I thought I'd share.
"We cannot live our lives constantly looking back, listening back, lest we be turned to pillars of longing and regret, but to live life without listening at all is to live deaf to the fullness of the music."
What gorgeous language. One day I'd love to be able to write like that.
