I threw away probably over $100 worth of food. I was already sick to start off my day today, but this act made my heart feel sick. It's such a shame when something like that happens (fuse breaker thing went off in garage at power outlet, making lots of food thaw out over a two-day period or so before discovery).
Had a tough day, working hard in the Texas heat. But it was also rewarding and fun. Got so much done. Tomorrow looks to be busy, too. Tomorrow a Fed Ex truck should pull up with a couple copies of the new issue hot off the press. That'll be exciting.
Am watching Larry King Live tonight, with special guest Steven Curtis Chapman and his family. Wow, what they've been through (with the 17-year-old son accidently backing up over their five-year-old daughter, Maria Sue). Wow. Heart-breaking, touching, sobering, powerful. While not an ounce of arrogance or "look-at-me-ism," this family is profoundly being a witness to the Lord -- with all their shaking and honest vulnerability being shared to all.
Am glad to be "family" members (in a global, body of Christ sense) with these folks.
