| | It was a fairly normal Sunday afternoon late lunch with the family today. Tristan and I met up with Amy following worship for lunch at our favorite Oriental place. Tristan was taking his last lick of his ice cream cone, Amy was finishing up her desert choice and I was taking my last bite of salt and pepper chicken. The owner was cleaning off the table beside us while behind us there was a large family having a good time laughing with each other and in the back corner there was a sweet elderly couple having a calm lunch together. In one unexpected moment I inhaled too much pepper and sneezed! Well, in words I cant quite explain it. I sneezed so quickly and so loudly that the owner jumped off the ground about 12 inches and look straight at me as if I was possesed. The large family behind us froze in their convesation and Tristan said that several of the family members jumped out of their chairs and the elderly couple both through their egg rolls up in the air and let out a little squeek. Time was suspended just for a moment as I opened my eyes from my sneeze to notice everyone looking at me and my family bursting into uncontrollable laughter. Even now as I type this I keep laughing... Emarrassment is good sometimes particularly when it helps provide a good source of deep and meaningful joy that I will be able to share for sometime to come....
