Frogs

Yesterday was pretty hot and sunny. The benefit being I got lots of laundry done. For dinner we had leftover pizza, which was relatively easy. I didn't want to put anything in the oven, so I made some Frogs which were super. And sugary. They helped me stay up to finish the book I was reading "Strange Fits of Passion" which had different peoples perspectives of and reactions to a domestic abuse situation.

I had an interesting conversation with Henri at Church and then came home and read on Awareness' blog this fable which seemed to connect to my conversation:
A fable of the Arab mystic Sa'di: A man walking through the forest saw a fox had lost its legs and wondered how it survived. Then he saw a tiger come in with its game in its mouth. The tiger had his fill and left the rest of the meat for the fox. The next day God fed the fox by means of the same tiger. The man began to wonder at God's great goodness said to himself, "I too shall just rest in a corner with full trust in the Lord and he will provide me all I need." He did this for many days, but nothing happened and poor fellow was almost at death's door when he heard a voice say, "O you who are in the path of error, open your eyes to the Truth! Follow the example of the tiger and stop imitating the disabled fox."

My parents should be on their way home from Eliott lake now, assuming they weren't eaten by bears.

James wants to use the computer to do his google maps again. This week he's going to Vacation Bible School a block away in the mornings and I will only be working mornings, so that's kind of vacation-y. Kim and Rachel are coming for lunch on Wed. and Kim is also coming for dinner the same day. I'm working on planning a menu.
