Let me just start by sharing... I demolished a piece of Trader Joe’s Quintessential Berry Crumble Pie this morning for breakfast. I never buy sweets or junk food… and this is why! Thankfully, I’ll be at the gym later with a friend to share my confession. Should I mention the piece I had last night… I digress.
Speaking of last night, Flip and I lead a Life Community group that meets twice a month to discuss the current sermon series at our church. We love Life Community because our group diversity allows us to enjoy motivating and unique discussions. Occasionally we must re-focus ourselves (Flip is great for re-focusing… go figure) and return to the topic at hand while referencing the Scripture. In our restricted eyes this group is perfect… (in reference to my prior post)… we need each other! This week’s study involved kindness. There is a distinct difference between niceness and kindness. I believe kindness is from the heart and follows through with true love. Sometimes hearing “kill them with kindness” is mistaken for niceness, which could potentially involve pleasantries used to anger “our enemies.” Being nice is certainly not evil… but being kind is sincerely better. Hope you enjoyed the recap of our study (now everyone knows I paid attention!)
However, every time we meet for study there is always a moment (or 2, or 3, or 10) in which I must... want, no need! to express my amusement (at something off-track, random, inappropriate even) by laughing uncontrollably. I’ve managed so far to contain myself… most of the time… but last night Flip was giving a spiel about kindness, and right in the middle of his sentence he used the word: LUBRICANT. My eyes immediately dashed towards the eyes of a friend I knew would share the improper mutual understanding (so to speak) in my mind, and our eyebrows reached for the ceiling :) I left it with a smile and comical expression… but come on Flip, you asked for that one! On the way home we were laughing about it… and Flip said, “Dear, you know that is a normal word used often and in the appropriate context.” Ohhhh Pleeeaaase :) Thankfully, after discussing my gutter mind with the same friend (let’s start calling her Judice) she had this response, “It’s the way God made you, and seriously who uses that word!” Thanks Judice!
Love, Princess Peaches

I knew I was gonna miss out last night!
That is hysterical! I say the next time we have a double date we both try to use the word "lubricant" in a sentence!
Speaking of which...LC Meeting, not Lubricant....I working on getting my book club night changed to Mondays. That way I won't miss LC anymore. Wish me luck.
