Well, GOD is so Great.........He heard my cries of whoa and has once again pulled me back from the brink of the fault line. As in my fault line......
I'm not the best Christian, I know that I am a perpetual work in progress & that I must frustrate GOD so. Yet there He is every time grabbing hold of me at what I think is the last moment. Yeah, I know some times He must think of me as the special kid that stands to close to the cliffs edge teetering saying why am I falling. When all I had to do was tell Him my issues, or what I see as issues, then listen & wait for Him to lead the way.
We've become to impatient, I have at least, when it comes to life.........We want the quick fix, the hurry up's, the "Get 'R' Done's". We forget to just lay back, relax and listen.
In my last post I was feeling the crunch of to many bills & not enough money. Instead of going to GOD and waiting for an answer I sort of lost it. The job I had was a great one, but only part-time. With the holidays, economy, and rival business moving in, my hours had to be cut back. While I understood this, I needed full-time work. I had applied for another job, but I hadn't heard anything from them and so I started to go a little nuts, thus the last posting.
I am so very happy to report that GOD has once again showed me His Mighty Power. Yesterday, I had decided to rearrange my bedroom and got frustrated when my Brother and I couldn't move some pieces. Our Dad was called and he came right over and helped get the job done, Thanks Again Dad. After he left I got a call from the employer that I had been waiting for-"I GOT THE JOB!!!" I've gone through orientation today and start work tomorrow, which is well before the first of March.
This evening I spent some time in my room, with only a small fragment of light from the kitchen through the open door, laying back on my bed relaxing and just listening to the silence, how peaceful it was. How Awesome the Power of Peace and Quiet.
What a Great GOD I serve.............................................................................................................

ARRRGH!!!!
Okay God, I'm gonna need the remedial class on this one.
WHY! Oh why is it that every time we try to get ahead-and actually seem to be getting some where-that the rug is pulled, violently, out from under us. Just when we think things are looking up and might, just for once, go the right way-"CRASH"!
Well, kido's this might be the last blog post I make, because if things don't change before the first of March, we'll be living on the street.

"AS A MAN THINKITH" or "MEMORIES"
Today I started the day late having slept in. I awoke around 8 a.m. and started my day in the usual way, making the bed, getting dressed and so on. I then jumped onto the World Wide Web, to see what-if anything-was new and to look up a few things. As I suspected there wasn't anything new on the web and, as luck would have it, my brother was at the door asking if I wanted to indulge in an old custom of ours.
When we were kids we would get up early on Saturday mornings grab a bowl of cereal and camp out in front of the T.V. to watch cartoons and other
It got me to thinking about days gone by and about all the good times we had sitting around the T.V. as a family and enjoying the show (and yes, sometimes a meal, mostly snacks though). Kids and families don't do that anymore......................there always seems to be an argument going or everyone is parceled out in other rooms watching something different in each one. Maybe my family is just weird, but some of our best times where when we were all together watching T.V. Now that's not to say that children should spend all their time in doors around the T.V., but maybe if just once in a while the family did something like that the kids would feel more stable in their own skin at other times.
For instance: my nephew said something that hurt my feelings a little bit, over the Christmas break. Eighteen years old, home from College, he tells me that he feels "Damaged". Not in the physical sense, but emotionally/mentally. Now, I quickly told him this wasn't true-that "He Was Not Damaged"-the situation, the family dynamic maybe, but HE was most definitely not. I know I'm not perfect, the family isn't perfect and things around us are not perfect, but then we don't live in perfect. I do know this though, that, for a few brief moments in the lifetime of my memory we were just a family sitting in front of the T.V. watching a world go by, and loving each other. Yeah those were the days when life's melodrama's took a backseat to Family time, when the only discussions were about who was doing what in the show's. Life seemed to stop for those few brief shining moments in time, but I guess that's why they call them memories...what do you remember?
When we were kids we would get up early on Saturday mornings grab a bowl of cereal and camp out in front of the T.V. to watch cartoons and other
various entertaining shows. Well, of course, I said yes and hoped to it. He had found some of the old shows that we used to watch on youtube. The good ones that tried to teach you something...not sell. Shows like the "Banana Splits", "Laugh Olympics", "Space Ghost", "Blue Falcon & Dynomut", "Scoobie Doo", "The Jetsons", "The Flintstones", and so on.
