All the time, something little will happen and I think, “I should blog about that!” But then I realize that it would make a lame 2-sentence blog post. So I am instituting a new tradition: Friday Five, a compilation of five of those little things throughout the week that really aren’t worth sharing. Enjoy!

I am taking a seminary class, and my prof reminds me very much of Bill Murray, both in looks and personality. He ended the first class with this: “Does anyone have any questions? No? Well, it looks like I taught another one of those perfect lectures.” It was that perfect dry Bill Murray humor that I so enjoy.

My favorite word is vehicle. I have known this for a long time. The word “hick” is in the middle of it! For some reason, I find that hilarious.

Now, I have discovered my favorite sentence.

He edited it. Say it fast. “ed-it-ed-it” Seriously, say it out loud or it won’t be as funny. A student and I repeated that sentence over and over this week until we dissolved into laughter. It was great.

LeCrae has this song called “Identity”, and one line from this song has been on my mind all week:

“Her beauty is her godliness, and she ain’t gotta flaunt it ’cause it’s obvious.”

What a good reminder.

The week that I made a resolution to drink more water, the faculty restroom is out of order. Ironic? Or a sign from God that drinking water really is overrated?

Okay, fine I know it is good for me. So I’m being stubborn and sticking to it, even though I don’t like it. I will become a water drinker.  I will.

Remember the student with the blue blocks? On Wednesday he was disrespectful, so I took away his word-find. He kept being disrespectful, so I tore it up and threw it in the trash.

Instantly, tears sprung to his eyes, and he yelled, “I REALLY DON’T LIKE YOU!” It was very obviously the meanest possible insult he could muster. I almost didn’t laugh.

Wouldn’t the world be a wonderful place if that was the meanest thing you could think to say?
