Multitude Monday, Take 293

Thanking God this week for...

5331. the fascinating chemistry of baking: egg whites turning from clear gelatinous goo to stiff, white peaks of fluff
5332. watermelon
5333. dinner with a friend at Panera Bread, her treat
5334. the gift of hearing her recite all of Philippians from memory
5335. His tremendous capacity for compassion and mercy, far beyond my understanding, let alone my own capacity

5336. the story of Hosea
5337. washi tape
5338. answered prayers
5339. Steve flirting with me

Wow, Philippians by memory! I was on my way with the Romans project and then we moved. And they I lost all momentum. Sigh.

Are you doing any scripture memory at present?

I am, actually - after about a year of totally slacking off and not doing anything, I finally got back into it the last couple of months. I worked on Psalm 63 earlier this summer and now I'm tackling 1 Peter. only about 2/3 through chapter 1, but it's been great so far.
