Status Report: July

Eating…a roast beef, cheese, and avocado sandwich for lunch. 

Enjoying…summer. It was slow coming this year, and I’m very happy it finally made it. 

Anticipating…picking the first ripe tomatoes from my patio tumbler tomato plant.

Thinking…about the things I want to accomplish this summer. Our summer is so short, and I don’t want to use it all up doing the many chores I can do only in the summer. I’ve already cut way back on the gardening I’m doings. What else can I give up, at least for a year?

Reading… The Question of Canon: Challenging the Status Quo in the New Testament Debate, because I’m finally done with From Heaven He Came and Sought Her. I was afraid The Question of Canon might be a revisitation of Canon Revisited, but it’s not. 

Also reading…The House of Wittgenstein: A Family at War. It’s a whole lot of fun, especially for a book with so much suicide. I chalk this up to the way Alexander Waugh tells the story.

Thanking…God for his many provisions in answer to prayer. We (my family) have had so many lately, and I want to acknowledge them even though I can’t give more details than this.

Laughing…at these. You’ve probably seen them already, but it not, you might enjoy them, too. (I woudn’t have used one of the words included. In case you were wondering.)

Needing…to call a refrigerator repairman. My frost-free is not defrosting and the fan stops working when the ice builds up. 

Thinking…the dog must have fished the half-eaten bean burrito out of the garbage. 

Taking…him out for a walk.

Wishing…you a joyful July. And may you have more fireworks than we did.

Ha. Very prudent to walk the dog that ate a bean burrito... :)
