bling.

i get compliments on my diamonds all the time. they ARE quite beautiful, if i do say so myself, and it pays to be a left-handed journalist. your hand is sparkling every time you take notes.

this week has been a particularly copious, not to mention diverse, one in the compliment department.

mira:

"those are some serious rocks. have you had those the whole time you've been married?" -a sweet 10th-grader in our youth group while i was taking prayer requests in small group wednesday

..and..

"nice rings. tell your husband he did a good job." -a large, black man with dreads, a defensive back for the san angelo stampede-express football team while i was interviewing him tonight after the game.

love it!
