It seems I was mistaken. Shurby did not confront everything Saturday night. He told me Wednesday that we would. Most of the junk that I wrote about on Thursday has blown over, but some of it is still going on.
I’m not going to finish writing about it though. It is in the past and I don’t want to get into it, but I will sum it up:
Scott got into Cheryl and Marcus’s business and assumed wrongly in some areas and talked to everyone else about it besides Marcus. They have talked it out though. Everything is okay. I think.
I had a rough night Friday at work. I’m sick of seeing those french fries.
Saturday itself was physically wet, rainy, and muddy, but emotionally and spiritually it was as bright and as warm as could be. It is always so hard to describe every Saturday and Sunday to you because so much happens and I can’t really explain it in words, but I’ll do my best.
There was band practice and then skit practice. In skit practice, Pastor Steve told me to direct the skit. I thought that was weird. I was just sitting there. There were only five of us there. He told me what he would like to see, but he had to rehearse for the Missionettes crowning ceremony, so he just put the whole thing in my hands. In my spirit, I heard a voice say, “Get used to this Jacob. It will happen a lot.”
So I did.
We are performing the skit next Sunday. It is about the end times.
After that, Marcus and I went to Fayetteville to pick Kevin up. He wanted to come back for the weekend. We got there and then the three of us went to the mall. We walked around and then left. It turns out they just wanted to go look at girls.
We then went to Cameron to Jenna and Tenielle’s house. We played basketball and I played on their keyboard. One time though, I was alone with Jenna in her room. She was a little shy, but I like it when she is that way.
I kept waiting for her to ask me about my alphabet line, but she never did. When the time came, we all went to youth group. Kevin and Marcus set it up to where Jenna sat up front with me on the way there.
Youth group was great. Shurby preached the word and said nothing off-color.
Afterwards, I had to take Wayne home and I did. Kevin and Marcus went in to see everyone so Jenna and I plus Tenielle and Wayne drove down the block to the park.
We just walked around in the dark and talked. Jenna was holding onto my arm. I wanted so badly to reach down and hold her hand, but I didn’t.
Wayne and I used to go to that park a lot when I was a Freshman and Sophomore. We would pretend we were Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
We drove back up the block, got Kevin and Marcus, and then I drove to Cameron. When we got to their house, we all jumped on the trampoline again.
Before I left, Jenna gave me a letter.
I read it when I got home and in it she asked about my alphabet line. She didn’t get it. She didn’t get it at all. I wrote her back saying it was simple, you just had to look closely at it. I gave her the letter this morning.
Henry took Kevin back to college after church. I didn’t want to go so Marcus and I went to Wayne’s house. Jenna knew I was going over there. After I had been there for 40 minutes, Jenna calls asking for me. She is asking about my alphabet line and it turns out that she is at a pay phone at Winn-Dixie. Her mom’s friend, who brings them to church, had to do some shopping so she never figured it out.
After they got home, she called me two more times asking me to give her hints. I gave her a few, but she still didn’t get it. That night at the Missionettes Crowning Ceremony, she kept bugging me for more hints. In fact, everyone kept bugging me, Sunny, Tenielle, Wayne, Shane, Shar, everyone.
She left church not knowing.
It’s simple right?

If I had my way, this is the way the alphabet would be

You guys get it don’t you?
