Biblical Bliss

We were very happy when our bible study announced they will study the book of James. Last night was our first night to study the actual bible, in a group setting, in a long time. We had a very refreshing, deep, open, wonderful, lively discussion. Everybody in the group participated. I’m very optimistic that this study will be the beginning of many beautiful things.

We really enjoy the company of these friends. I’m sure I’ve said that before - but it’s just so true. Walt asked us what we’ve been up to lately. We told everybody we’d just gone to Yosemite with Kev’s parents. Suddenly Walt and Emily look at each other with ga-ga eyes . . . "Awww . . . that’s where we fell in love with each other. That’s where we experienced that first spark." This charade prompted Tara to make a comment about when she first knew Todd liked her - he tried to impress her by "jumping really high." When Todd heard this, his face turned beet-red. And, of course, Walt wouldn’t stop torturing them until he got the full story - which Todd and Tara obviously didn’t want to tell. The rest of us were on the floor, laughing, after the whole interrogation. The "story" really wasn’t a big deal. It wasn’t even embarrassing. It’s just that people like Walt have the capacity to make everything funny - and everything a big deal.
