Not Your Typical Wednesday

It was a typical Wednesday afternoon... ok, not really. The whole day was pure serendipity. I knew the day would be fun, but I never dreamed it would be this much fun. I was going over to my friend Lizzie's house because I was going to Awana (a Bible verse club) with her. I was so excited that I probably looked like I had terrible sickness like malaria that was making me go crazy! Of course I didn't, but still it might have looked like it. At the zenith of my excitement, I dreamed of provolone cheese at lunch as I drank my pasturized milk. My tongue burned because the night before, I got it stuck on an ice cube that ripped off some skin.

Lizzie and I hopped on the bus and chatted about our favorite Christian songs and somehow started talking about the story of the Good Samaritan in the Bible. In the story, desperados rob and beat the main character. However, a good Samaritan entered the debacle and showed the man great compassion by treating his wounds and setting him up at a nice inn. This story reminded Lizzie and I of the doctrinaire truth that we are to show love to everyone we meet.
When we arrived at the church, Lizzie served as my liaison, introducing me to all her friends. After we played some games, we researched some verses about the 12 disciples. The leaders of Awana told us to mark our calendars for next week because we were to dress like pilgrims. On the way home, a buck jumped out in front of Lizzie's mom's car. I wondered were he got his license.

I guess being so excited caused fatigue to set in. At the end of the day, I wished that I could have a back massage, macadamia nuts, and a steaming cup of oolong tea. The M&M's that I got that night looked just like a bag of confetti as I daintily popped one after another in my mouth. Ooh they tasted good! The whole evening exceeded my expectations.

(This was a school assignment involving my spelling words... don't think I'm crazy or anything!)
