that would do for a last evening on the planet
I can't tell you how lovely tonight was. I got to listen to people. And I got to pray. There was one woman who I'd met a few months before when she had been habitually hard and angry, but tonight I got to hear her story of the last little while and see how she is a completely different person, resting in the Lord and in love with God like she never had been before. After the (really good) service she came back to me and thanked me and blessed me with words of encouragement. On the shuttle back to the trains I talked with the driver who I've been getting to know a little over the past 6 months. I got to heard his story of this past year and some things that are weighing him down this week. He's been such a willing and cheerful servant/friend to me and the others who ride the shuttle bus, I've been glad and grateful for it. And I got to tell him so, and pray for him as he embarks on new things. Tonight was precious. It's what it's all about.

hahahahaaa... you're totally right, it sounds like Ryan's aunt and I really do have a lot in common. I could get lost in spreadsheets. I often do, in fact. *sigh* organization. 'tis a beautiful thing. Reconciling is SO satisfying. mmmm. I mean, people are great and all, but I'm definitely an "I" on my Myers-Briggs. Totally. Numbers are sweet. (But... you're still right, I do LOVE a good power trip now and then. That's why I, as an introvert, love theatre and public speaking - the people you're talking to don't talk back.) -Jen
