I am maybe not a concert person. Last night I went out on the town with a girlfriend, and we saw the David Crowder Band. I like them.
But the funnest part of the evening was looking forward to going out, and then the preliminary activities.
We went to this store downtown and tried on clothes. Everything was fabulous, mostly because the sizes ran large. This means that Kara was trying on XS and though I was trying on M, I found them all too big. Who am I kidding? Kara always wears XS. Anyway, expensive clothes always work to best advantage.
Some day if I am ever rich, I will buy clothes there. Then I will have an outfit worthy of my hand-me-down Coach handbags.
Then we went to this little wine bar were we ordered baked brie and calamari. Oh, and also a bottle of wine. We had a view of the rather impressive line of folks waiting to be admitted to the concert house. We sat there very self satisfied as they waited in line, and we sipped Tempranillo.
On to other things:
It is entirely possible that I will not pass my black belt test. Honestly, I have been so occupied with other thoughts and activities, that I have hardly considered the thing. It begins this coming weekend. Hospitalization is not unheard of as a result of such an undertaking...Perhaps that's where the term Undertaker comes from?
And the whole moving thing? My house is half in boxes, yet I may not move after all. It may work out that I can stay here, and it may not. I am living without lace, and books, and knick-knacks until I know it's safe to unpack.
Meanwhile, I have to educate my children, and go to the grocery store.
You see, I don't really have time to face into a crisis. My schedule does not permit. It's a cheater's Faith. I say "cheater" because I rely on God simply because I have no resources of my own. I can't really worry, because I haven't the time. It makes the whole faith thing much more simple than it could be.

Kelly, I hope for your sake that you do not have to move. That would be such a relief, I'm sure. As for your black belt test, lots of people fail on their first tries. Actually, it's quite common. So don't feel bad if you do because you have a legitimate excuse, what with your hectic life. But please don't go to the hospital.
When you rely on God, because that is all that is left to rely on - God has you exactly where you should be and where he wants you! Nothing "cheating" about it. It also means that now you are usable to HIM and teachable.
How exciting!
And do stay out of the hospital! No fun in there...
Hey, don't short change yourself. Jail-house conversions are the only real kind,and true faith is the faith that is desperate with no other way out.
So, I agree with KJP!
