My son, keep my words, and treasure my commands within you. Keep my commands and live, and my law as the apple of your eye. Bind then on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. Say to wisdom, "you are my sister," and call understanding your nearest kin. (Proverbs 7:1-4)

I scared my mailman today. I was waiting for mom to finish up a letter so I could run out to the mailbox. Well by the time I got outside, the mailman was already next door. So I ran over there and caught him reading an advertisement thing. So I said hello, but he was so intrigued with whatever he was reading that he didn't hear me come from behind. And so he jumped. Poor mailman. Guess what? Today is the first day in all my sixteen years of living, that my grits turned out pretty decent. They're usually not done or all clumpy. But today, they were perfect. My new bedspread arrived a few days ago. I like it very much! Now I'm thinking about getting new curtains. That probably won't happen for a few months though. A huge THANKS to M.I.W. who commented on my last blog.
