The rain falls ever on and on. And the weekend's weather will be iffy at best, which really gets in the way of our picnic plans. Everything will be kind of wait-and-see now. I'm mad because I wanted the CA crew to see how beautiful my city is in the spring, and now they'll forever think of it as rainy and overcast. :( The end of April/beginning of May is always like this, though. I should have thought ahead. One year Kathy, Em and I et al. decided to go to Macaroni Grill for an end-of-semester dinner, but were detained by tornado sirens. The RAs trooped us all to the basement, which was flooding. When we were finally released, the parking lot had turned into a river and it took us forever to drive to the restaurant. Ironically it's one of my favorite dorm memories. :)

icondesperence, which I found through Messa. She's got some great stuff- check it out!
I'm in Genesis again, and I just read Chapter 9, where Noah gets drunk and his youngest son, Ham, is disrespectful about it. (Who says the Bible isn't exciting?) It always reminds me of three years ago when Harris was teaching on the Ten Commandments. He used the story in the Honoring Your Parents talk. Anyway, because of his disrespect, Noah curses Ham's son, Canaan, who later becomes the father of all the nations Israel defeats, like the Hittites and the Amorites. All because Ham called attention to his father's not-so-wise behavior. Kind of makes you think, huh? I know it makes me nervous. Oh, and I'm choosing not to make any Bacon jokes.
I will see Jessica, Jonathan, and Dania TOMORROW! Can you believe it? At any given moment I'm either hyper-excited they're coming, or nervous because I'm so anxious for everything to go well. I'm sure the rest of you will be glad when the trip is over, and you don't have to hear us talk about it anymore. :)
