Okay sorry for the lamest title ever! I just could not come up with anything clever or even remotely interesting. At least it's descriptive...?
One of my favorite things about my family is that we (well, they, since I usually don't live with them) are very hospitable. The house has always been open to people who need a place to crash for a night, and we love hosting friends for a week or weekend or whatever. Sometimes in the summer there are short periods where we move from room to room as various people move in and out. Anyway, all that was just to preface a funny dream my dad had last night that I want to immortalize here. In the dream, he was sleeping in the room that my sister and I used to share, in one of two twin beds against opposite walls. He woke up in the middle of the night to find a large man sleeping on one side of him in the same bed, and on the other side lay a 9-month-old infant. My dad then looked across the room and saw six or seven little girls in the other bed, in the style of these dogs (watch the video, it's really short and cute!). Apparently in the dream he didn't think anything of finding all of these random people in his room and bed; he just figured that they had come by during the night needing a place to stay and my mom let them in. Haha.
Also, I don't think I've posted since I've been home. I was in a friend's wedding the day before I flew home, and it was just beautiful and I was so glad and honored to be a part of it. Since I got home, it's been awesome being with my family. Making music with my dad and sister, and enjoying food with my mom, and just spending time with each other.
Oh, so as a part of my commitment to tent time, I've started reading Joshua. I'm a little ashamed to admit that I've been trying to get through the Old Testament for... two years now? I've read the New Testament tons of times, and a lot of the Old as well, but one of my (nonbelieving) friends once inquired, how can a person be a Christian if they haven't even read the entire Bible? I don't agree with this completely, but for real, I have this whole book of God's word and I haven't even read the whole thing! Something is wrong here. So I'm trying yet again to read the OT, and I'm skipping the Pentateuch (the first five books) because I've read those a few times. But this time, I'm writing a short, 3-4 sentence summary of each chapter as I go through. Not only does habit this make the reading more memorable because I'm writing it down, it also helps motivate me to really think about what it's saying (a necessary task for summarizing). It's been great so far and I think I'll definitely continue this idea as I work through the OT.
One last thing: Last night I took a CPR/BLS (basic life support) class for healthcare providers and not only did I get to use a bag valve mask, I am again certified in CPR and have a card that says Healthcare Provider with my name on it! One step closer... :)
