Five or six little birdies

1 Reply

At church today, the kids were all excited about some swallows. A pair of swallows made a nest with three little chicks, cute as can be, just outside the door where everyone can see them. Every minute or two, a parent would come swooping in like a bullet, would hover for a second, depositing food into the chirping mouths of its offspring before rocketing back out for more. It was quite entertaining and a treat to see.

When I was in my car driving away, I started to hear some funny noises. I stopped at the end of the driveway and looked in my back seat, and what do I find, but some other type of bird in my car. I’ve never had a bird trapped in my car before. I don’t know what it was doing there, the windows weren’t cracked much, and it was probably very warm from being parked in the sun all morning. So I opened all the windows and doors and chased it out.

But that got me thinking. God likes talking. He’s always talking. And sometimes he talking in unusual circumstances and coincidences.

So birds, eh?

And just writing this down, I’m remembering that the passage that we read in church today mentioned birds briefly.

So here I am. God, I hear you speaking, I just am trying to figure out what you’re saying.

Ugh…

Full day today.

Went to work early.

Spent my lunch taking care of grown up things. I got a citation the other day for expired inspection of my car. I took care of that fast on Friday, but today I had to get my license and get the citation taken care of. So I went to the DPS and they told me what I need. So I went home, tore my house apart to find my social security card and my registration receipt for my car. Filled out the application. Went to the bank cause they only take cash. Went back to the DPS and now there was a line. Waited, did everything, then left. Then I went to the wrong courthouse. Then I went to the right courthouse. I paid twenty dollars and went back to work.

After work went on a bike ride.

Filmed some bike riding action.

Came home. Cooked. Did laundry. Watched a movie. Made a video. Wrote a blog post. Wrote another blog post.

Now for my favorite part: sleep!

Today was good. Today was really good. Today was really, really good.

Today was the first conference of our school. We had about 40 people there and it just went really well. I got rocked by the speaker and I know others did too. At the end there was some ministry time and I gave my first word in front of a crowd. It’s was nerve racking and good all at the same time.

After that, I went to a friend’s house for a BBQ. And it brought back so many memories. It was full of people who only spoke Spanish and I was reliving mission trips to Mexicali. It just felt so good and so right.

Then to end the night with a phone call to my lovely mother just was the icing on the cake.
