Yesterday I took a little time off to go see Jesus in the form of Robert, and give him his Christmas present. It's a new backpack containing some essentials for the urban explorer who operates on a completely different mental plane from the rest of the world. I trust he will follow my instructions and be a good boyscout when the time arises to put the tools to their full use. After all, incontinence is a horrible enemy when exploring the streets of Houston.
Robert was all smiles and must have shook my hand a dozen times. Me... I was so glad to be able to do it, to do something for a very real representation of the scripture above.
In parting Robert had to share with me some of his wisdom. He asked, "Do you know why mermaids wear sea shells?"
No, I replied.
"Because A-shells are too small and D-shells are too big."
God Bless you Robert Franklin.
Instead of music this morning, enjoy with me some of Robert's changing looks over the years.
