the little things

i think i already said this in my post about this new job, but something that's become one of my favorite things:

the prayer block i bought in england has been used at every dinner and many breakfasts at the house - more than it was ever getting used when i thought the printed prayers would be handy for folks who prefer not to pray out loud. jessica, it's simply a tactile part of the prayer experience - not a nerdy theological statement.

i had some others that are more humorous things, but they both involved bath time - if/when i think of some that don't violate my own interpretation of privacy/confidentiality with my job, i'll let you know. i'm trying to stick with themes that recur, things that lead to my own introspection, and reflections on progress and this field of work, versus stories about the guys. i think that's a good policy, right?
