Yesterday afternoon, I showed Abby and John Thullbery the best form of cheap entertainment I know. Many of you have seen this, I'm sure, but it never gets old for me.
I had a 2 liter Diet Coke and a package of Mentos (breath mints). Cherilyn had bought me a special contraption just for this purpose at Cracker Barrel. The Mentos are stacked in a test tube like thingamajig and placed over the top of the open Diet Coke. When you pull the string and all of the Mentos fall in the Coke, you get an eruption that seriously tops 12 feet.
Here's a YouTube video of someone doing the same thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3oV4rqjcew
Here's the theological observation: Diet Coke and Mentos, who knew there would be such a reaction? We never know what might react with us today (or what/whom we might react to).
Here's a collect for Grace from the Prayer Book that fits nicely:
Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought us in safety to this new day: Preserve us with your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
