in case of emergency...

(Sick and tired of being sick and tired.)


On another note, I'm sitting in my office and looked at the bulletin board.

On the board are various lists of numbers - the one I am looking at now

is "Emergency numbers." It gives numbers for everything from the ambulance through poison control and water for the City of Vancouver. However the one that sticks out most fo me is the number for "Earthquake, Flood, Dangerous Goods Spill, Tsunami." The idea of "dangerous goods" makes no sense to me - but what makes me laugh most is that someone is asking me to call a number if there happens to be an earthquake or tsunami. Yes, there will definitely be time to pick up the phone for a call. Definitely.

Pardon me if I become a "fan" and chime in every once in a while. I came across your blog by "chance", looking to see if anyone had transcribed some words from Keith Green's book. I saw your post on that. When I took a cruise around your other articles, something "kindred" seemed apparent about you. Though I've never met you. The coolest thing: you are my sister. I can see that you have trusted in Jesus as your Lord... and that is enough to make us "family"... along with the millions of others in the faith.

Lately I've been in the mood to be more intentional about such things.

Indeed... "dangerous goods" is funny. Total oxymoron. How can something "good" be so dangerous?
