Today Started Out Ordinary

I'm being completely and totally serious when I say that today started out as nothing special. Today started out as every single other boring old day would. And then things got weird.
My parents were going up to my dad's construction site today to check out the progress on the new building and they asked if we (my brother and I) wanted to come with them. We had nothing better to do, considering it was a plain boring day and so we said yes.
I went to my room to get dressed. This is the climax, are you sure you're ready for this? Proceed with caution.

I got dressed and as I was putting on my usual Keds, the ones I've worn basically every other day for this past year, I noticed something stuck between the tongue and the laces of one of the shoes. I pulled it out and it's this super super old, practically archaic folded up paper with writing all in Arabic. My heart nearly stopped, and I took it outside so my mum could tell me what it was, since she understands Arabic and I don't. Well, believe it or not, this odd piece that miraculously appeared in my shoe is a very very old and very rare page from the bible. They say that if you receive this paper from a holy place or from a priest, it's the best kind of luck you can get and they don't hand them out to just anybody.

Nobody knows where it came from
Nobody knows how it found its way into my shoe
We can only assume that it's some sort of a divine message

Is it a miracle?
I'll leave that to up to you to decide.

Well...

Honestly, I came here today to write out an absolutely fantastic and wonderful and well thought out blog post and then I lost it.
Just gone.
It's been two days now and I've been trying to figure out what I was going to write about.
Nothing even comes to mind.
What.
