Bugs, Mugs and Hugs!

Three things plaguing me at the moment- bugs that decide you face is a great place to hang out when you are trying to sleep, mugs that go missing throughout the year and fail to be found ever again, and hugs- or rather the lack there of.

Today was a beautiful day. The intense heat would make you think the earth has gone crazy and thought itself stuck in summer! But the beautiful flowers, melodious chirping birds and bellowing breezes let you know that it is still spring... its just having some fun of the celsious kind.

Lately, I have been finding that quite often - when I want to deepen the conversation with the person I'm talking to - I revert to the trusty old:

"What has God been teaching you recently?".

There are a two reasons I really like asking this question: One, it asks for honesty and deeper relationships, Two, I helps me get a picture of where the person is at and how I can pray for them. But there is another good thing about asking this question I have recently discovered... it forces me to think about what God has been teaching me!
( In otherwords what i have learnt it: If you ask a question, expect it to get asked back and be ready!)
