Sucks to be a weed.

Yesterday we did yard work @ Meadows Depot, a drug-rehabilitation center/halfway house for women and their children. The man who runs it is very sick w/cancer and can't take care of the facilities anymore, so our church is stepping in. Anyway, after mowing the lawn for too long (it's a big lawn) i switched off to weed-whacker duty, which is MUCH more fun. i think it satisfies some inner, supressed need for violence, because i had a fantastic time doing it, despite very sore thumbs today. And i always said, "If you can safely satisfy a hunger for violence while in the service of the Lord Almighty, do it."

didn't the president use that same logic to justify the invasion of another nation?

i am sure mom would have liked you to figure out this love for weed wacking before you got married and moved out. at least now she knows the flaw in her logic. she used the "because i said so and you love me" when she should have been using the "do it for the Lord" approach. bummer mom, better luck with dad.
