To complain.

Do everything without grumbling and arguing, so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God who are faultless in a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine like stars in the world. (Philippians 2:14, 15 HCSB)


I know it's been a while since I posted anything, but I tell my students to follow the thumper creed and not say anything if you can't find anything nice to say. And all I've felt like doing this week is complaining. So I've waited.

The last week has been full of delays. The plumbing is taking longer and costing more than I thought. Surprise! So since the water is turned off, I've just been in a holding pattern. I can't paint and can't really work on other things until I know what the plumbing is going to cost. So, I'm just waiting. Again.

I remember Mark Dever talking about how the normal posture of the Christian life is to wait. If only I were waiting as expectantly for Christ's return as I am for the plumbing to get done.

Also, the whole block is getting new sidewalks!


And... The last picture is a reminder that teacher appreciation week means... Bogo burritos!!!!
