No, Really, I’m Okay
August 24, 2007 on 4:17 pm | In Uncategorized |Just because I seem to have TOTALLY LOST an orange notebook that I carried around with me all summer and wrote outlines for TWENTY SERMONS in doesn’t mean I’m going to do anything drastic.
Because I’m going to find… it…
*sob*
I’m going to find! it!
*sob*
Even though I’ve looked everywhere for three days and called all my family members to see whether I left it with them and everything doesn’t mean I should lose hope!
But even if it is totally lost forever and ever, I will be okay with that. I will accept that.
The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the –

It’s true that the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away….it’s also true that G-d will never give you more than you can handle. Grace abounds.
Take this as a sign that the Lord has bigger and better plans for those sermons.
But, as someone who is lost without the little black notebook I carry around to write my random thoughts in, I hope you do find your orange one.

This is why it’s recommended that you backup your notebook frequently.
(ouch! I hope you find it soon.)

Something must be in the air. In the last week we’ve lost both sets of our house and car keys, four screwdrivers (they were TOGETHER), and a whole stack of bills. But we did eventually find a pair of keys at the grocery store we shop out. Go figure. Never left anything there before.
I’m still holding out hope for the second set of keys. And your orange notebook. Call the grocery stores and restaurants you frequent; just in case?

PB,
You could always assemble a chorus of UU’s who are former Catholics to lead the praying chant of:
St. Anthony, St. Anthony
Please come ’round
Something is lost
And can’t be found
If that doesn’t work and you don’t find the notebook, and I hope you do, you will have to turn the story of the lost notebook into a cultural legend. Maybe it won’t ever attain the status of Bono losing his notebook containing all his lyrics for what would eventually become U2’s October album, but you never know.
Good luck (and my prayers),
Tony
