Long Day

It was rainy today! I had made plans to watch the movie SAW IV and SAW V. My friend Marisa and I were going to watch it, since we have seen all of the movies of SAW up to SAW V. We just wanted to review the fourth one. So, she came over at lunch and we started the movie, then decided we could not eat our lunch while the movie played. It is a really bloody movie. Then I had a counseling session to go to, so we went to that, Marisa was just along for the ride. Then we had dinner plans at the preachers house, and then were going to go back to my house and watch the other movie. TC, things change. The preacher said that there was a program at another church in the area about finding a job in 60 days and it started tonight at 7:00 pm. He tells me this at 5 pm something. I don't have my car because I am with Marisa, so he says I will take you, Marisa will understand if you dump her, you really need to go to the class, since I am looking for a job and all. And the session tonight was called " A Dose of Reality" which I thought we all should be going to at that point. So, I ended up taking the preachers car and driving myself and going to the program. Then back to Norm's and then Norm had to drive me home. What a crazy evening! All in all I got my dose of reality, so I guess all it well now. Or something like that and SAW awaits us tomorrow.

My best friend Teresa and her husband Ryan had their first child today. He was born this evening around 8 pm, Texas time. He weighs 8 lbs. 3 oz. 21 inches long. Teresa's mom called me and all I could hear is Micah crying, kid has strong lungs. I am so excited for them. I can't wait to see pictures, maybe tomorrow I will get some in email. Thank you God for blessing Teresa and Ryan with their first child and watching over them! Mom and baby are doing great, Dad could not be prouder. I think that I can feel Ryan's smile in RI. Congratulations, Guys! I love you!

Full Moon

I love the full moon! There is just something about God's creation of the moon that holds an interest for me. The full moon brings everything into the light and out of the darkness. On the nights there is a full moon and your in the country, out of the city lights, you can see everything by the light of the moon. It gives me a thrill to know that God created such a big, powerful, awesome light to guide us. At those times, I don't feel the darkness, I don't feel the world crushing in on me. I only feel God's marvelous light watching over me.

1 Peter 2:9

⁹But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

I have not really gotten into the whole blog thing, but since I have a computer at my home now, I will give it a try. I love to read others blogs and find out what is up with the people that I am close to or friends with. Some people think that is nosy but why do people put stuff on blogs if they do not want people to read them. If you don't want people to read them don't make a blog!
I just love to keep up with people that I know and care about. This has been a way that I can find to do that. Technology has made all of this a possibility and we can somehow feel like it has taken away our ability to be close to someone. I think it makes me closer to the people I care about because I am reading about their life, because I do care.
Maybe if more of us looked at the technology as a blessing then maybe we could put aside some of the differences and risk ourselves with people and truly come away with some fantastic friends, family and relationships.
