Because He Is Awesome!

Our neighbors, Rick and Monica, gave Peggi a “Watch It Grow!’ Jesus kit for her birthday. You drop the pint size figure into a glass of water and watch as it increases in size up to 600 percent. Two days in and the little guy was still lying on the bottom of our glass with his arms outstretched. I was skeptical. Of course, I was skeptical of the Resurrection in my Catholic youth. I took this photo a few days ago but this morning he is twice the size and standing up in the glass!

I’ve been following the Jeremy Linsanity story and his quote, “I believe in an all powerful and all-knowing God who does miracles” stuck with me. Mostly because I started singing that song.

Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag

The art changes monthly at the Little Cafe and this month it is the employees who have the spotlight. I particularly liked these photos by one of the projectionists, Alan Charlesworth. Four kind of big guys just standing there in various settings.

Speaking of big guys, we took my parents out to Tony D’s for dinner tonight. We were celebrating my father’s birthday and I tried making reservations but they would only take them for parties of six or more. So we showed up and hung around the bar for about forty five minutes watching sports bloopers. We had a delicious calamari salad and greens and beans and my father picked a surprising spicy set of ingredients for goat cheese pizza. They were cranking the soul music in here. Good Times, Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag, Atomic Dog and Hot Chocolate’s You Sexy Thing all sounded great but it was almost impossible to hear each other and on the way home I noticed my mom was hoarse.
