In Case You Were Wondering

So I told a story yesterday about my adventure with a bat in our apartment. I was informed today that I forgot the most important part of the message..."what happened to the bat?" I was explaining that I hadn't ridden my bike in 2 weeks because I injured my ankle battling a bat. Here is what I said yesterday:

So I told a story yesterday about my adventure with a bat in our apartment. I was informed today that I forgot the most important part of the message…” what happened to the bat?”

I was explaining that I hadn’t ridden my bike in 2 weeks because I injured my ankle battling a bat. Here is what I said yesterday:

One night a bat got into our apartment.  (I still contend that the rumours of me screaming like an 8-year-old girl are exaggerated, but that’s beside the point.)

I took one of Méabh’s blankets…I’m sure it wasn’t one of the ones any of you gave her.  and tried to throw it over the bat while it flew at me. I missed. tried to dodge the bat as it came towards me, tripped and fell on the coffee table. And most importantly, messed up one of my ankles.  It is still sore and swollen, which means I haven’t ridden my bike in about 2 weeks.

And that was the end of my bat story.

After that, Liz stood by the entryway door to our apartment. The bat kept flying in and out, but she was finally able to slam it shut. Then she noticed that there was a window over the door, so she climbed up on a desk, leaned over and closed the window.

Thankfully the door to the stairway was open.

That’s when we remembered that Hannah was due to come home from work at any time. So we called her and told her to wait.

When the landlord came (one of the nice things we’re enjoying about renting is there is a landlord to take care of random stuff like this) he opened the front door to the building, the bat flew out, and that’s the end of the story.

Thanks again, Liz.

What about Bob?

I grew up in Western New York and have started and led missional church planting efforts for a little over 30 years. As you might gather, I have opinions about the church, and I share some of them here.

Malin Head is a two-hour drive from where we are staying in Donegal, but I have wanted to visit for a while. So, we get to the top of the hill, looking for a place to park, and people start waving at us. There was a thought that perhaps they were signaling that we...

Yesterday Liz left to drive M to dance camp around 9:45 am. I had been on a walk and arrived home around 10:20. I received a text from Liz shortly after saying she was at the store and asking if I needed anything. Soon after I realised I hadn’t seen the dog since I...
