A rare serious moment
I'm rarely serious in public (I know that fact has escaped you all until this disclosure). But, here's a rare moment in time for you. My new roomie and I sat on the ole red couch and shared a couple tears pretty late last night(which made me late to work btw). You know I thought it might be possible that she and I had completely opposite characteristics in about every way, except our sincere and honest love for our Lord. I've told Jeannie, that the first time I met her (in Pete's van on the way to AiG), I was thinking to myself (as she continued a very disturbing diatribe of a story that I won't share): GOOD GRIEF! If this continues, I don't think we'll make it to Cincinatti before Pete will have to find the nearest 5-0 so I can turn myself in, for my most recent crime against humanity! Since then, I've realized we ironically have quite a lot in common. Namely, our love for friends/believers and our desparate desire to serve them and see them grow in their own love for the Lord. So, I woke up this morning thinking - I've been riffin' her pretty hard lately (which is my warped way of showing I care),and I should just let her know, that despite the jokes, I'm glad God purposed us to meet (although, He had to be laughing that day in the van) . And, since we're all her friends here on The Red Couch, I knew you'd agree, so I decided to share. Ok, so get a kleenex and don't expect this to happen again, at least for awhile.

Friend-affirmation is harder than it should be and doesn't happen as often as it should. Well said, Melissa.
Rejoice in your differences!
Monica,
The RED COUCH chat last night was really good. I'm sure people kept asking you if you wanted to room with "Crazy Phebs", but I'm glad you rolled the dice and let me move in. If our only commonality is Christ and we're both aiming to please Him, I think we'll only have a few major catastrophes along the way.
Oh and PS re: the conversation in Pete's van - I found this on Wikipedia:
Those who advocate placentophagy in humans, mostly in modern America and Europe, Hawaii and the Pacific Islands believe that eating the placenta prevents postpartum depression and other pregnancy complications. Human placenta tastes very similar to beef, with a springy texture similar to the heart.
sicko
just the facts, ma'am.
will anyone back me up here - this is vulgar, despite the fact it is medically unfounded, is it not? I SO wasn't going to bring it up again, but come on now folks - lets call a spade a spade.
Vulgar and disgusting and weird, yes. Eww.
Whatever - Mup - you know a person who did this.
...!
That doesn't make it any less weird. In fact, it might make it weirder.
I don't know who you're talking about, and I don't think I *want* to know.
ignorance, in this particular instance is such bliss! I must agree with the man. Thanks for backing me up Ray. Hope you're feeling better today!
Very sweet Melissa. I'm sure G-knee appreciates the sentiment. It sounds like there is a lot of fun going on over there!!! I wish my roomie talked to me. LOL
Dana - in due time...and then will come that stage you'll wish he couldn't talk - when they reach Jr. High, for instance. Love those Jr Highers!
Dana....come on over any time...and bring the little fry-guy.
I was in the van for that converstion! I do recall laughing alot and eating gooood cookies!!! Michelle
Just when I forget about that "wonderful" story, it gets brought up again. That was an interesting ride for sure.
