Right then
The weekend was, as I anticipated, quite fabulous. I was reminded of all the reasons that I love my church--fellowship, friendly people, solid teaching, warmth and love in abundance. And all of the reasons that I'm uncertain about it, as well. Why is it that we can be so good with each other on most things, and yet have silly rules? I'm not any less confused that I was before. I'm also very, very tired, even after a night of rest.
But, more importantly, I have new pets! On the way home, I was driving with my three youngest sisters, and we stopped in Columbia City for lunch. In the same shopping area was a little mom-n-pop looking pet store, and my sisters begged for a little look-see. I wasn't in a hurry, so we went in.
And yeah, I ended up buying a couple of adorable little fuzzbutts. Two little rats, one gray and somewhat slender and slightly more high-strung, one brown and quite chubby and very friendly. My sisters came up with names and I picked my favorites--Wallace (brown) and Sebastian (gray). They were very nervous at first, and of course the drive back to Fort Wayne was stressful, but they've warmed up to me very quickly. By the time I was ready to go to bed, Sebastian was sleeping curled up against my neck and Wallace was lounging over my chest. Oh, they're sweet little ratties. I need to get my camera fixed so I can take pictures!
I may ramble more about my church later, or I may not. But I'm pretty sure that I will be talking about my pets. (I missed my mice, too. I can hardly stand being away from them for even two days.)
