This morning we were met with a surprise: someone visited us during the night and toilet-papered our front yard. Dave estimates they used approximately 100 rolls of toilet paper, and one roll of paper towels around the mailbox. I guess it has a certain kind of artistic merit to it.
What I have a much harder time understanding is that next door, where they are remodeling a house, these vandals knocked over a porta-potty. That is a horrendous, unhealthy mess, and stinks to high heaven. We managed to set it up, but oh- the stench! I may be able to overlook the toilet papering, but the porta-potty was just vicious.
After more than an hour of work, using a 10-foot ladder and an apple picker, Dave and I had filled the three toilet paper cases and a huge leaf-bag full, and below is what we cannot reach. It will have to be rained down a little at a time. But I think we got all the rolls out.
What a way to start the day! And yesterday's sermon was on the problem of behaving practical atheists: saying we believe, but that belief making no difference in how we live our lives. So this morning is giving me A chance to practice approaching this day with faith and security in God's providential care...
