Storytime....

So there's this annoying woodpecker that comes around at least a few times a week. It likes the house. It always comes in the morning. It seems to think it's my alarm clock. I heard from a friend that wal-mart has these cool dart type things (bigger, they fly really fast, and they are rubber pointed, so they won't hurt) I guess they're only like a dollar each. I was thinking this morning that a few dollars would be a pretty sound investment in the future prevention/discouragement of annoying woodpeckers. Plus it would be kinda funny I have to say. Especially because it came back three or four times this morning and finally went away for good when it heard me coming out the door with a broomstick. : ) That was the highlight of my morning before church.
This is going to sound somewhat funny- but I had quite a surprise tonight. I went and made myself a p.b. &j. sandwich, and an orange for supper. later when I went to peel the orange , well, it looked fine, smelled fine, but the first bit I peeled away had some sort of black stuff- mold or something. It was disgusting. It got thrown into the bin. weird cause I had just gotten those oranges not even a week ago. Anyways, guess appearances can be decieving as to what's on the inside.
Earlier this week I went into a smaller bookstore downtown, got a book - with a big 'boring' title (an anthology of world liturature ) - (unless you're me who happens to like that sort of thing : ) Anyways, it's really cool. Well, first of all it's huge. But it has tons of stuff in there, ancient writings, you know the greeks, tradgedies and comedies, romans, up to a bit more modern stuff, like from the 16 or 17 hundreds. I was reading some stuff written by Marcus Aurelius. And it was pretty cool, he had a lot of wise stuff to say, especially compared to most of the corrupt roman rulers, granted, I don't know if he lived all of what he said, but he still said some amazing stuff. About living morally, getting along with our fellow humans, all kinds of stuff. It's almost like he knew there was a God out there.... it wouldn't make much sense to say the stuff he said about the gods they had. And yet, correct me if I'm wrong (i may very well be) but I've never heard anything saying he was a christian, or really knew much about it. I guess things like that, in all kinds of writings, show people had some sense, knew intuitively that there was a God out there, ..... Anyway, read some of his stuff if you get a chance. all for now. : ) Have a great day!
