highlights, part four.

Today seems like a really odd time to re-visit this ghost of a blog, but whatever. Today just felt like the heights of a pace that I can’t maintain and that I was literally stopped in my tracks. Oh well. I think all would agree that life truly is a roller-coaster ride (and sometimes it’s a bit too much like the Incredible Hulk).

Anyway, I could use another freshly baked batch of highlights, served wonderfully warm and with fresh cold milk. Mmmm, comforting, chocolate-y blog.

- Today’s weather. Wow!!! I absolutely needed bright, warm sunshine to wake me up a bit.

- The Thorn! I got to see it again last night, and man oh man, I love every minute of it. Whether it’s the acrobatics, fire twirling, the heel-kick of a 95-year-old man, or conceptualizing Jesus in a way that is up close and personal–I can’t get enough.

- Ephesians. My small group has been studying this book for a few weeks now, and no matter how trying my week was, I walk away from our group discussion feeling super encouraged.

- Seeing or hanging out with my hubby. These moments are rare over the past few weeks (that will change after Easter!), but I love, love, LOVE how he makes me feel more like myself than anyone else in the world.

- Bella. She’s crazy, she’s cute, she’s so stinkin adorable, and I love our newest (and furriest) member of the Russo family.

- The pictures that Nathaniel and Ella drew of themselves (which are now hanging on our fridge). They are such sweet little self-portraits, and I love seeing Nathaniel’s 4-year-old writing that says “I -heart- you”.

- Also, I love the homemade tortilla chips I make. They’re pretty wonderful.
