i finally got to go strawberry picking!!

beck and i went up to her cottage this weekend, and managed to make it to a strawberry place up near ardoch that was open. the strawberries were small, and sparse, but we managed to get almost a whole basket.

this afternoon i took my canoe chair and sat in the grass across the street from my house. the sun was warm and my chair was cozy. i sat writing my sermon for an hour and a half. it was a beautiful afternoon and i so enjoyed sitting in the grass.

err... yes... i'm preaching next sunday :S it's my first sermon ever. my initial reaction when asked was "no way", but then i thought "it's something i've never done before, so maybe i should try it". so i agreed. i've actually quite enjoyed thinking about the topic, hashing it out in my brain. i'm the kind of person who needs something to challenge my mind or else i get worked up about trivial matters. i didn't really plan to write it all out, but i ended up finding that the easiest way to sort out my thoughts. i wanted to organize it so that it went from A to B to C to D, instead of leaving it scattered like a game of pick-up sticks. i feel ok about it. i do hope it goes well.

i read a great line in my book this week (i'm reading 'the fifth business' by robertson davies)....
"i was afraid and i didn't know what i feared, which is the worst kind of fear". man, i love words. i love lyrics. i know when a song or book is well written when i wish i'd written it.

i should get into bed but i've just started putting together a photo album on facebook :S

i can't help but wonder what's gone wrong.
