Note Taking

In church yesterday I noticed out of the corner of my eye this girl who I thought was taking notes on the sermon but wrote “Have you ever loved someone so much you would have given your arm for them?”  I think she was writing a letter of some sort or at least jotting down her own thoughts and I didn’t want to read much of what may have been a personal journal but she seemed to be writing about this guy she liked.  My mind sorta wandered as I wondered if I ever loved someone so much I would have given my arm for that person.  I know I’ve never had to physically detatch my arm for someone (I have given a jacket which has two sleeves but that probably isn’t as meaningful).  I also noticed she was writing her name over and over again, maybe to practice her penmanship.  Man, I thought no one practiced that these days.
