Faboo Friday: A Good Day All Around
Some Fridays are fabulous. But some are just so good that they automatically get bumped up to being a Faboo Friday. Faboo is even better than fabulous. Today is one of those Fridays.
You see Friday is nearly always good because it follows Thursday. I go to my critique group on Thursday evenings, and the writers in that group are just ... well, I just love them. They make me a better writer. But more than that, they're all really good people. So there's the first part of a great Friday. Call it a good mood hangover from crit group.
Then--are you ready for this?--it's 70 degrees on August 1st. In TEXAS. In case you've never been to Texas in August, let me assure you, this almost never happens. It's like a white Christmas. A perfect double rainbow. The Dallas Cowboys winning the Super Bowl. Well ... maybe not quite that rare. But you get the idea. Very unusual, and very welcome.
But the very best part of this Friday is the fact that it's my favorite Friday of the year. Today is the first day of the annual Youth Lectures at Westside church of Christ. This is a weekend of strong, scriptural messages from six different men (and I'm proud to say one of them is my older brother, Rusty). It's several hours, spread over three days, of hundreds of voices raised in song, a capella as in the first century church, singing that can induce chills sometimes--yes, even in the usual August heat.
If you're anywhere near the D/FW area, and you aren't, oh, say, getting married or having open-heart surgery, you should try to make it to at least one of the services. You can find more information here.
So while I normally begrudge a day that might take me away from my writing time (straightening the house for a couple of guests, making desserts for a get-together on Saturday, etc.), this time I don't mind at all. Because today is Youth Lecture Friday, and that is an unbelievably Faboo Friday .
I hope to see some of you this weekend. Now go make the rest of your day as Faboo as mine is shaping up to be.
