The Lenten worship was lovely. Very Lutheran praying, very Lutheran singing, very Lutheran fellowshipping. I discussed with my pastor what I could give up for Lent - how about getting annoyed at the roommates and the people who only call me when they want something? Ok, sounds good. So I get home to: Downstairs Roommate's baby screaming disconsolately for a long time; Upstairs Roommates' dog crapped all over the kitchen AND living room this time; Upstairs Roommates are washing their python's cage in the bathtub so I can't shower; and someone emailed me a list of things to do for her. Thank you, Lord, for reminding me of what I just said. You're nice like that, buddy.
