This blog post is dedicated to my favorite student, thus far, and most likely of all time...Kate
Five years ago today I experienced the most horrendous Valentine's Day you can possible imagine. Personally, I would take flowers and chocolates over ensuing divorce papers, but I didn't really get to choose. As a result, I decided to boycott this Hallmark holiday and deem it unncessary to celebrate.
Here enters Kate...a student and soon to be very dear friend with a gift for cheering up disheartened souls. In an attempt to boost my spirits, and "get my back," Kate decided to take it upon herselft to bring judgement upon my soon-to-be ex spouse. It took many hours, and even days, to convince her that egging his car and house would NOT be a wise course of action. Trying to set a positive example and act as the adult mentor I had become, I told her it was not Christ-like to egg someone's house, car, or own body in attempt to gain revenge. It is the Lord's place to bring judgement on those he deems deserving, it is only our place to forgive.
In a classic Kate-manner, she delivered her response, "Fine, I will write scripture on the eggs and THEN throw them!!"
So...Happy Egg Day to all of you who have refrained from the physical act but have mentally engaged in battle with those who have put the rocks in your roads.
