Gastropoda

The word snail is a common name for almost all members of the molluscan class Gastropoda that have coiled shells in the adult stage. I was researching snail mail, and this is what Wikipedia gave me! But then I went back, and searched for snail mail, and Wikipedia did indeed have an entry on it!

I love snail mail! But I'm a big e-mailer... it's probably one of the quickest ways to get ahold of me. However, no matter how convenient or easy emailing is, I will always love snail mail. I'm not sure about you, but for me, it is so much more exciting to look in the mailbox and see a hand-written letter from a friend, than it is to log onto your email and see a message in your Inbox. Although emails are great... and quick... they just do not compare, for me, to snail mail. I think a hand-written note, that you took the time to write, seal, stamp, address, and put in your mailbox is so much more fun to receive.

One of my goals in showing gratitude was to write more handwritten letters... to show that I really value my relationships, more than a short email may show. In breaking that goal down into smaller (more manageable!) parts, my goal for this weekend is to hand-write and mail 3 letters and to mail 1 painting with scripture on the back. I have some recipients in mind! I'm going to try to continue that every weekend for a few weeks... and see where that leads me!

Praying for discipline... and the inspiration to be disciplined! And the heart and eyes to see what Jesus does through my obedience.
