Making Fun of Chet


He said,

"Here, you can take my car to work today...

Sorry it's such a mess."





Ohhh, look... it's a water bottle in the front pocket...


...SUCH a mess. Geez Chet.


...But how much fun can we make of him?

Why were you driving Chet's car to work, Emily?

...maybe because I locked my keys in mine.
Where was my spare?
Oh, where you should always keep your spare key... in my purse with my main set.

Awesome prize: me.

Just for comparison's sake, here's what the back seat of the quite possibly slightly ADHD pre-school teacher's car looks like (as opposed to the above pictures of the SOFTWARE ENGINEER's car). Please note the picnic blanket, the finger-painting paper and the colorful, way-educational block toy.


I refuse to consider the possibility that there could be some connection between my spacial dealings in organized chaos, and my propensity to do things like lock my keys in my car. None whatsoever.

Human Needs Global Resources Covenant, 2009

As fellow travelers on this journey, we commit to this covenant before God. Lord, in Your mercy, hear these our prayers:

When confronted with scarcity, need, and inadequacy, may we be nourished by the Bread of Life and the Cup of Salvation. Abundance overflows from Your table, sustaining all who come in faith. Father, help us.

When monotony blurs our vision and dulls our senses, may we encounter others as Christ did, through intentional presence in daily life, submitting as clay to be formed into vessels filled with the Spirit. Christ, guide us.

When wounded by the fractured condition of Your people, may we be united by Your Lordship in faith, hope, and love; seeing, as through the facets of a diamond, the beautiful spectrum of Your light reflected onto Your holy Church joined in praise. Spirit, empower us.

When all Creation groans, afflicted by injustice and driven to despair, may the promise of redemption root us in the hope of Your Kingdom: "Behold, I am making all things new!"

Holy Trinity, send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve You with gladness and singleness of heart.

Amen.
