Showerheads

Ever seen that Seinfeld where Jerry's apartment building has low water pressure? And Jerry's hair is "flat" as a result. And Kramer buys an illegal showerhead on the "black market" that is supercharged.

That's how I feel this morning :)

There's nothing worse than taking a shower with a showerhead that "dribbles." Well, the angels were singing the hallelujah chorus this morning. We broke down and bought a new showerhead yesterday! Who knows how old that showerhead was? At least nine years since that's how long we've lived in this house. The new one even has criss-crossing jetstreams :) Ah, showerhead technology! Gotta love it.

On a serious note. Since our missions trip to Ethiopia I don't take a hot shower for granted. The simple pleasures we enjoy as Americans would be extravagant luxuries for half the world. So today I'm grateful for something as simple as a new showerhead and a hot shower.

Today (or last night) I was thankful for a comfortable bed! Wow... we've got so much to be thankful for.

Mark - just found your blog... I breifly met you back in June when I visited your Union Station location (I was on a business trip, there from FellowshipChurch in Grapevine, TX).

Keep up the great work and hope to see you again sometime!

I remember meeting John! Great to hear from you. I told you this in person, but we're totally inspired by Fellowship Church!!! Keep on keeping on!
