What a good day

Today has been a really good day. This morning, I managed to get the repair man out to the apartment to take a look at the range. Our large burner has been shooting sparks since November 10, and they’ve known since the next day. They admitted it’s not fixable and will be installing a replacement eventually. Also, they cleaned our refrigerator’s coils, so it supposedly should stop leaking.

I called the traffic court and learned that my speeding ticket is a traffic charge and not a criminal charge. It changes my defense, but at least there’s no chance of it going down as a criminal charg (a very Bad Thing).

A quick shopping trip became a shopping marathon, but I had great success. I was able to sell back most of my text books, start acquiring new ones. I found some cold weather shirts that won’t die in the dryer for under $10 each, a polarizing filter for my camera, several months worth of household/cosmetic supplies, and got to play one of my dream digital pianos. Too bad that I still need to find a short bookshelf and a keyboard stand that’s not being held together with duct tape.

Tonight, I get to hear JR Woodward as part of the first e4 project intensive for the year. JR founded my Blacksburg church and is now pastoring a church in inner city LA. He’s an outstanding speaker, and it’s always cool to hear him in an interactive setting. The topic for tonight is the Kingdom of God, and I hope to ask JR some questions about what the Kingdom of God looks like and what that means for movements like vtONE after the intensive. I ran into JR briefly this afternoon, and the notes that I saw him printing tell me that tonight is going to be outstanding.

Oh, it nearly hit 70 degrees today. I did most of my driving with the sunroof open. The weather says it will snow on Saturday. That’s Blacksburg weather for you!

Update:
It may be 40 degrees now, but I just want to let you know that I wore flip flops today. All day!
