"There's the Blogger"

Let me preface this story with a few stats.

My first Blog post: March 20, 2008
Rocki's first Blog post: April 10, 2008

My Blog: 60 posts
Rocki's Blog: 10 posts

Today at my mom's church, Rocki and I were sitting beside each other in the front pew. It was greet your neighbor time, so we stood to greet. We greeted a little, then Pastor Tom starts heading straight toward us. Rocki and I both turn, anticipating his greeting. With a few final steps, he gets to us and says, "THERE'S THE BLOGGER." And turns toward . . . Rocki.

I was so taken aback I don't remember if Tom actually said anything to me after that or not. I mean if I would have been standing beside Derry, I would have expected it. But no, this was a person who had done 1/6 of the posts I had done.

You know what else. That little thing that happened in the pew was my favorite thing that happened today. I laughed at myself. Literally, almost laughed out loud three times during the sermon. I'm not sure why it tickled me so much. Maybe it was because after I recovered from the initial shock of the comment, I was SO unsurprised by it. If you know Rocki, you're probably not that surprised either.

Thanks God, for teaching me to be a little more humble in such a funny way. I'm still laughing.
