Beautiful things I encountered lately …

…enough change in the car to buy a small dinner at McDonalds when I left my wallet in a different bag.

… a bright full moon on a crazy clear night as I made my way to bed after several hours of delving into the minor prophets.

… rust colored mums popping out.

… the kindness of a classmate who bought me some extra time to finish my paper by allowing me to e-mail it to him so he could print it and hand-deliver it to the professor on the due date.

… the sounds of a referee’s whistle in a preseason football game.

… a young lady in my youth group who I always knew could play, and liked to play, the piano, who played an amazing number for the special music during Sunday’s service in which she played the piano … and sang!

… just how absurd the scene in Numbers 22:21-35 is. I had read this story before, but hearing it read aloud via Bible Gateway made me giggle … and I was at work.

… the excitement of my younger sister at passing the state cosmetology exam. As she puts it, “I am now licensed to carry scissors.”

… Tomlin’s (see previous post) new arrangement of Amazing Grace … more correctly known as Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) … posted below via You Tube.
