Best time spent is with God

After work yesterday, I spent some time outdoors, landscaping and cleaning. Afterwards, I wanted to relax, and so I thought about reading the Bible and spending time in prayer, and I also thought about watching "Survivor Man". I decided to read the Bible later, and so, I grabbed some snacks, and grabbed the remote.

For an hour, I watched the show, which was quite interesting, teaching about tips and techniques on survival in the arctic circle. But once the show ended, I changed the channel and watched a politics show on PBS for another one half hour, from which I did not take anything; that is, I feel I learned nothing useful. I turned off the tv set at the end of that show.

At bed time, when I took time to at last, pray and reflect, I realized I have made a mistake. The FIRST I ought to have done to relax was to be still, reflect and pray. Doing this, I know, would have set me straight. It's also very relaxing!

Until next time, peace :)

God's awesome, wonderful work!

Here is an excerpt from an email that a co-worker has sent to me:   “ What church do you and your wife go to? I have been thinking alot lately about going to church. I have never really attended church and don't know much about the bible. But I have a desire to know. I feel strange just waltzing into a church and being lost.”   How awesome is the work of the Lord! And that we can take part in it! Woah! Alleluja!
Amazing! We came to church today, and Jessica was feeling down. During the sermon, which was about faith, a statement was said by the pastor about not dwelling on the past, nor "what if's". In this statement, God had put on the pastor's heart to say a series of "if we had only..." statements, and one of them was "Do not say, 'if we had only stayed in Texas, things would be different'..." As the pastor said this, Jessica and I looked at each other, as we could relate :) Allow Peace and Love to dwell in you!

To work on time

I had the intention of leaving to work on time this morning, but I left late because the freezing rain last night froze my door shut, and windows required heavy scraping. I was able to get in the car after some prying, and scraped a "hole" big enough to see ahead of me through the windshield (not best practice). After asking the Lord for help in getting to work on time, I arrived safely, and with a minute to spare :) Praise God!
