*HEADACHE*

But other than that, I worked in the morning and , WOW on the way to work it was awesome in more ways than one.. first it was awesome that God protected us from being involved in an accident and then it was awesome the reaction and the driving skills that I displayed. Quite proud of that. Some guy was stopped in the driving lane with his right turn signal on.. I was going about 40mph andjust as I went ot pass him on the left.. he put on his left turn signal and turned. I couldnt stop so i swerved to the other side of the street and he kept turning and then whipped the wheel back.. i think i did a squealing two wheeler.. when I looked at the other car right before I whipped the wheel back.. i could have swore that he was hitting me !! As soon as I swerved back and were clear.. Phil and I looked at each other and said "That was awesome, whooooo" !!! and Hi fived !!!!!

work was uneventful

stopped at Checkers on the way home... mmmm chili N cheese fries !!

went to Home Depot (love that place) and got a pond liner to replace the bad one.. then I couldnt resist some plants.. so i got 12 tomatoe plants 6 pepper plants and 6 egg plant .. hmmm now just where to put them... I actually pulled out my Kiwi plants to make room for 6 of the tomatoes and the peppers... Betsy got some flowers too but i forget what they are called.. I think I might get lettuce to plant in from of the peppers for a border. can't wait till next year when we renovate the whole yard into (well half the yard) into a garden and a pond for fishing... if anyone was wondering.. yes i do live in the city and yes my yard is kinda smal..but that wont stop me. !!!! Anyway..

Question of the Day: If you generalize and someone takes serious offense to it, does that mean that they feel guilty about the generalzation that you made?

Each person has the power of choice, no one can take that away, not even God (contrary to some beliefs).


Two things that are true:

1. Our most valuable possesion that we could ever have is our eternal soul. (which will spend an eternity in one of two places, Heaven or Hell) [[rethink your beliefs to be sure]]

2.No one can ever take from us, our power of choice. It is our choice to follow God or to 'fall away' from the faith !!

Day 3 and going strong with the mercy of God !!

Rethought my plans for the yard next spring! Took 191 pics of my fish,, about 40 turned out! Digital of course. Now all i have to do is get them on the web.. oh nevermind.. if you want to see them, come over and check them out.. its a standing invitation.. just let me know you'll be here !!

surf N turf for dinner tomorrow night !M MMMM


Good lookin out for the Phillies ticket Seth, but I had plans for dinner !! I got a date and I cant be late.. if ionly i wasnt typin, i woulda danced while saying that !

God is great and has been wonderful that last three days.

Some oriental ppl looked at our house tonight.. they seemed like they were really interested in it!

I was told that once you accept Christ into your heart, you are forgiven for all your past, present and FUTURE sins.. even if you do not repent of them.. although Jesus clearly said that IF>> IF we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins.. Geez, ppl just want an easy life and a lazy life to Heaven, little do they know that they have to have continuing faith in Christ to inherit the free gift of eternal life! ! If I was to turn my back on God, why would he still save me,, thats right.. he wouldn't !! God is a kind and loving God, but he is also a jealous God !! So stop being so stupid and get on the straight and narrow road of continuing full faith in God.. Not just what suits your current life style.. I heard recently.. that alot of ppl who call themselves Christians just do so because it is what their friends/peers do, and they go through the motions to be accepted. How sad!

Pizza time

Sigh!

Long busy days at work make time fly. And that's what its been like!

Shauna, thank you for the Birthday wishes!! Yes, it was a good birthday although the party was Friday and my birthday dinner was on Sunday, it was almost all over by Monday!! But it was good!

Happy Birthday to me! Wow I feel special but i guess it is my birthday- I got 18 cards and 2 cakes! One cake from Candace and one from Melissa! Thanks both o you! Nice hearing from Erin D. tonight even tho i didnt get a chance to talk to her! Hmmm I wonder why it is that ppl like her live so far away? Oh well, idk, I guess someday I'll meet the right person. God must really want me to find just the right person if He is makin me wait this long! But I know its only in His time, if it were in mine, i'd screw it up! Not that i havent already or nothin. but anyhow, thanks for all the kind birthday wishes, I needed them, i was needing some encouragement about that time. And i kinda still do, sometime the little bit and little bit of sinking down catches up and sinks deeper. I'm not sure why, but it sneaks up on me and makes me feel worthless, although i know im not and never will be. No matter what anyone thinks! God made me with a specific purpose in mind and I intend with the help of the Holy Spirit to fulfill my calling when He reveals it to me! I thought of my rents today, dont know why, but just did. Maybe its the pic of my dad hangin on the wall at work. Somettime they seem so distant and i stop to remember them. But then sometime its like I'm there again, and I relive the last days. Sometime it really sucks because I feel like there is no one to impress, or whats the word, no one to say "Good Job" or "I'm proud of you". I guess its like whether they say it or not.. when they are there you know they watch what hyou do and are proud of you! Now its just I do it because I do it, there's no one there to get it from. idk, its just weird sometime, like its not supposed to be this way. but knowing that nothing comes my way without God allowing it first, I woould have it no other way! Cleaned out my filthy Oscar tank tonight, man are they dirty fish, and I gave them a new heater.. one that wont fry them! Not that you are interested in my fish or anything. I thought about going fishing tongith in the rain, but no one wanted to go with me! wahh.. oh well.

"Do you feel my heart beating, Do you understand"?


have a swell day.

Every morning when I wake up, I get on my knees and say, "Thank you Lord for letting me wake up one more day"!

I love rain, now if it would only start thunderin it would be great !!

The Prayer Room

I think my favoritest gift is the candy buttons from Lindsay, and hey, why would i give them to my little sis.. I love those things.. brings back memories.. you know I am old now.. I can sit my grand kids on my knee and talk about the good ol days. Back when we used to walk to school with bare feet in the snow up hill both ways, sometime naked, with no lunch, in the scorching heat.. man it was terrible..but we did it..

oh and Shauna, to answer your Q, I guess it's because I haven't talked to you in two months!! haha, yeh its been too long! And you weren't at my birthday party, although thats my sister's fault for not inviting you.. but then you're in LA.

that any help?

So you tell me, why do you rock?

I'm convinced that some parents are just sick in the head and never deserved to get married and be blessed with kids of their own! idk, They should gather all the abusive/neglectful parents up and put them in a big hole to abuse each other. that way no innocent kids are hurt in the process!

Why does AIM only let you have 200 buddies? I was over that limit a year ago. Anyone have any tips?

Too tired, long day and late night! I shall write more later! I promise!

Why is the writing in Shauna's blog so stinkin small?

I like thoughtful people! Lindsay was thoughtful tonight and she bought me some candy buttons !!! I love those things !! I mean hey, if you wanna get on my good side.. get me some candy buttons!!

PPL who rock:
-Lindsay, for the candy buttons
-Kelly for being cool (Although I only just remet her and that could change if i get to know her and she annoys the living stuff outta me and .. and.. ok, I'm JK I doubt that would happen so dont take offense to it.. dont take a gate either
-Tool, for helpin out today with all the stuff
-Ned for washin and vacuumin my van out!
-Aunt Val, for comin to my Bday party!
-Canst for the cool bday cake!!
-My sisters for havin the party!

btw, did I mention I like candy buttons? thanks to Lindsay i got me some now !! mmmm

Ok, so slacking on the book as I usualy do with reading! But I've been fishing.. went Thurs. night and only got a few bass and a catfish. Went all day today, almost 8 hours... Got BURNT!! but had a good time even tho we didnt catch ANYTHING!! But oh well, went back to Ned's and washed my dirty van, inside and out.. what a guy! I wasnt feeling the greatest, thinking about going home and hittin the sack.. but when I walked in the house,,,,,,,, they yelled SURPRISE!!!! Wow, what a surprise!! and I even forgot it was my birthday!! It got me out of my slump but now im beat !! I re-met Kelly tonight who showed up at the party! I like her! She's pretty cool! Not that i've hung around her.. but she seems like a fun person! -- Josh is home from the army for the weekend and stopped in.. all in all alot of ppl were here or just stopped in to say yo! btw, thanks to the ones who had the party.. not exactly sure who all it was.. but THANKS!! Thanks Kelly for stoppin by, nice to see her again! Got candy comin out my ears now.. i got some at work plus some for my bday.. bye bye teeth! I'm tired! The party was nice after seein a black man layin in the street shot! idk. i guess someone didnt like him! but the boy got wasted. It was exciting to see but kinda sad too that he pissed someone off enough to bust a cap in his a a a stomach... Anyway.. I think ill hit the sack now!!
