There Has to Be A Cloak Somewhere…
Umm… LORD?
Jen!Â? You’re in Salt Lake City and you didn’t fall prey to the missionaries at the temple!Â? Congratulations on resisting the temptation to do all those things you were threatening to do last night.
OK LORD, you’ve known me for like how long?Â? You know that I wouldn’t bring a frappucino onto the temple grounds and ask one of the hot elders to hold it.Â? Then again, you also made it so that all the missionaries on duty today were sisters.
There is a method to my madness.Â? Now what’s this about you needing a cloak to touch?
Well… you know I’m having this problem where it’s week 3 of my period and I’m bleeding severely.
Jen, the woman you’re thinking of suffered with this kind of thing for 12 years!Â? You can deal with a couple weeks of discomfort.
And what about the damage this is doing to my body?
You know that I have my plans for yo-
I know… to prosper and all that jazz.Â? Could we maybe amend the plans so that they don’t involve me fainting from loss of blood or getting majorly anemic?
I’ll see what I can do.Â? Meanwhile, keep up the protein and avoid salt and caffeine.Â? This means no $tarbuck$ or other satanic corporate foods until the problem is resolved.
What if what I get doesn’t have caffeine?
Stop finding loopholes and go take some Pamprin!
Thy will be done LORD.Â? Amen.Â? Over and out!

Prayer Request
OK… I’m currently in Vegas and having some health issues.Â? Could y’all pray that they either resolve themselves or that the nice doctors at Urgent Care can figure out what’s up tomorrow?
Friday Night TV and Other Things
“Men In Trees” was lovely — the Anne Heche character tells her philandering ex to kiss off after he claims that she wouldn’t sleep with another man… and everyone in the bar claims to have slept with her. (It was cute and no, she didn’t sleep with any of them.) And duuuuuude… the raccoon has adopted her!!!!!!!!!
On “Countdown”, Keith replayed his “special comment” from Monday night. It was very awe-filled. Read it here.
To Pisco: thanks for coming on and chatting and making me laugh and all that. You totally and completely rock our (Jon’s and my) world.
To God: thanks for the rain and the wind. Just hold off the snow until after the burial tomorrow, OK?
To the Biaxin: could we stop with the icky taste in the mouth and the making me feel rundown? I kind of have a life I need to live, m’kay?
The podcast is being put together and will probably debut around 10/15.
That is all.
Hear the Words of Lauren Winner…
In the spirit of Dreama’s post today, hear this passage from Mudhouse Sabbath:
… the shopping expedition [where she finds that she can’t fit into a medium dress] was good proof that, though I believe God has something to say about human bodies, I generally tune God out and listen to Cosmopolitan instead.Â? I’m pretty sure that God, if he called to chat about my body, would say things like, “I like your body.Â? I created your body, and if you have read the first chapter of Genesis lately, you might recall that I called Creation good.” (pp.66-67)
I dunno… the quote just came to me while reading the post.Â? And duuuuude, I want the scale from the article that she cites.
(Oh yes… this book needs to be on the wishlist of a certain Episcopalian I know.)
