Got bored last night and started to look around our room. Here are a few things I hadn't noticed before...

• Our Gideon's Bible was placed by The Gideons International in India Madras South Camp. If you are ever looking for an outreach ministry to support--send your money toward the Gideons... they are all Bibles, all the time... it doesn't get much better than that!
• In our bathroom are two little jars. One is labeled "Soap Sud"... it has what looks like crushed peppermint candies in it. I'm not sure if it bath salts... toothpaste... or something else... The other is labeld "Cotton Wool"... am I dense (don't answer that!)... what kind of sheep does this material come from... or is it a crop picked in the south... I am so confused...
• In the desk drawer was an "Executive Kit" containing everything the traveling executive might need: four rubberbands, three paperclips, and three nails... I guess, if you can't band it or clip it together, you just pound it into the guy you are meeting...
• When we arrived, the floor lamp in our room didn't work, so maintenance came and fixed it. Now, in India, you have to place your room key in a slot in the room to activate all the lights and the air conditioner (a pretty good way to regulate electricity and people [like me and Tom Bodet] who always leave the lights on). Ever since he fixed it, when we put the card in... all the lights in the room come on... except that one... but when we take the card out... and all the other lights in the room go dark... that one comes on... just another example of the wiring issues over here... that email you have seen is more true than you realize!
