well, how about that?

So I'm at work and my Internet time (especially on a blogging site) is extremely limited, but I just thought I'd pass this along:

I am able to discuss, at great lengths, very important and soul-plunging topics over text message. And I think I've finally found a man who matches my ability.

This exchange occured around noon yesterday.

J: Someone just made my day ;) [he'd just received the CDs I sent him on Monday]
A: Who would that be?
J: This lovely lady I have in my life.
A: What about her?
J: She’s pretty much stealing my heart. [at this point a rather strong expletive escaped my mouth, I had to put the phone down face down and focus on my breathing for a while]
A: You probably shouldn’t say these things to this lady while she’s at work because it’s kind of hard to concentrate when your heart feels ready to jump out of your chest.
J: Ha! I’m sorry to distract her.
A: It’s the best distraction of my life.
J: Awww!

and then before I went into TJ's last night, I sent him this:
A: So I’ve got this gentleman friend…and during our first conversation he said I sounded like a Yankee. But he makes me laugh and he listens when I speak…And as each day passes I think about him more and more and pray that God guides my path. I've told God I’d be ok if our paths were to become one at some point.
J: He sounds like a good guy.
A: Good guy? Yeah. I think he’s something special.
J: Ah! As well as he might agree!
J: He just might think you are as well!

May your heart be warmed this chilly and dreary December day! And things I'm excited about: tonight is the Rebuilt Family Christmas in Athens. 6 of the 7 artists will be on stage together and that's something pretty special. I got a lot of TJ's goodies too for the "green room"/backstage area and I'm looking forward to that. Also, my dear friend from south of the city is joining me at church on Sunday and I'm looking forward to catching up with her. My trip to Maine is in 26 days and I can't wait! And Jeremy is planning on listening to Voddie on his way to a friend's this afternoon--he's about to be Santa in his friend's city's Christmas parade. Too cute. Seriously. Too cute.

Oh, and I got an opportunity to pray for him over text message today and it was wonderful (he's going through something really horrible at his church)--I'm glad that he shares these things and I'm glad to be able to pray!
