I admit that I wish I had a wild berry smoothie right now. I admit that I am getting stories of Thing 2's adventures from overseas, little by little. I admit that I am more proud of her than I thought possible. I admit that she told me of a time when her older cousin (19 yr. old male) made some comment about, "Stupid Jesus freaks..." at the television, and she turned it off and said, "Excuse me? What did you just say?" (he repeated himself, not understanding that her looming over him demeanor and line of questioning was strictly rhetorical) I admit that she said, "You need to watch what you say. I'm a Christian, [Thing 1] is a Christian, my dad is one, and so is my mom. So before you go running off at the mouth, you should probably think about what's coming out of it, and who you may hurt because you're being an insensitive jerk!" I admit that Jesus would probably approve of her calling him an insensitive jerk in lieu of turning the other cheek because some folks just witness better that way and their message is heard better. *nods* I admit that she went on to tell him that she went to the vihara (Buddhist temple) with his family and never made any unkind comments about their faith/philosophy so where did he get off making fun of hers? I admit that she said he had a sort of *blink-blink* look on his face when she was through with him. I admit that she is my little Rev. Jesse wrapped in a smaller package. *Preach it, my sista!* I admit that my Mom would have been so proud, and who knows? Maybe she's the one who lit that fire under her?
