What Is Saving My Life Today

A List of Things That Are Saving My Life Today:

• My new workout swimsuit, exactly like the old one, except smaller and less beat-up by consistent use.
• The fact that I burn through Serious swimsuits.
• The memory of yesterday–especially little things like overhearing the choir practice the hymns I’d chosen.
• Ditto acolytes in clean white robes, getting coached in the back of the sanctuary by their adult teacher, who carefully went over the order of worship with me at about 9:10 to make things as smooth as possible.
• Also, while we’re on the subject, a liturgist who googled me, and found five things about me on the interwebs that are actually true. And church appropriate.
• A stack of new books to read: this one and this one and this one.
• 98.78%
• Cooler temperatures.
• The softness of this sweater I’m wearing.
• Healthy happy kids and spouse.
• My parents living together in their house–it’s still a miracle, people.
• Psalm 139
• The news that I get to baptize a baby next month–something I feared I’d never get to do again.
