you locked me in the cellar and fed me PINS !!

A couple readers (and I shall forever be perplexed by this) continue to check in on me when I don't post for a while, so I shall bestow upon y'all a general update.

The amazingly talented Tempest has sent me two little dragons, and a tiny rainbow spekkoek.

I put them on my desk at work. 

She traded the dragons for a Tiny Kingdom, which was well received by more tiny dragons.

This is the 3rd tiny kingdom, and possible the best one yet.

In other news....

My good friend recently received a shipment of homeless kittens and their momma.

I'd had plans for Saturday evening. Naturally, all of them were derailed because kittens.

Lord Byron, the only one who isn't all black.

Momma is still adjusting and can be a bit growly, but so far she and all 4 kittens are doing well. 

Saturday, I get to go see The Legendary Shack Shakers. I am SUPER EXCITED. Their last album, The Southern Surreal, was hands down the best music released last year. 

Sunday I go see an apartment. Fingers crossed it's The One. 

A is for Abraham

(A is also for the only post I actually managed to finish, so this will probably be the only A-Z Challenge for 2016...)

Most of you probably know the story of Abraham and Isaac. (If not, brief summary: God promised Abraham he'd be the father of his peoples, but Abraham had no kids. But then MIRACLE, even though Abe and his wife Sarah are like 100 years old, Sarah has a son and they call him Isaac.

Some years letter, to test Abraham's faith, God tells Abe to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice. So Abraham sets off on a camping trip with his son and when they get to the campsite, he prepares to murder Isaac and offer him as a sacrifice to God. Thankfully, God sends an angel to stop him at the last minute and congratulate him on his faithfulness.

I always wonder about their trip back home.

It must have been kind of awkward....

Have a good weekend, y'all!
