Thank you, Jean. Back at you! You’re such an encouragement.

Thanks for sharing, Lori. I picked up another watermelon today at the store and it felt soggy in my hands—that problem was easy to address (I put it back and didn’t buy it! ha). I wish all our problems were so easy. 🙂

I’m wishing today that I had another good watermelon. 🙂 I shopped at a different grocery store this weekend and they were all so expensive that I couldn’t bring myself to buy one. I bought grapes instead, but still haven’t washed them so they’re aging in my refrigerator. I guess there’s another lesson in that too: putting healthy things on the shelf doesn’t do us any good if we don’t eat them.

Yes, God often gets my attention best in messy situations too, Mary. My mother taught me young to be uncomfortable with messes. It definitely applies in spiritual matters as well.

I don’t like the sticky part either, Crystal. Not figuratively OR literally. 🙂 Nothing will make me get up quicker to wash my hands than having sticky fingers. Would it be that I’d be so quick with my spiritual messes.

I wish I could you get to pick out watermelons for me, Floyd. I’m not very good at it. ha. My dad always grew watermelons and we’d eat whatever came out of the garden. But choosing them from a big bin in the grocery store is a different matter altogether.
