I learned today that Rachel has a job editing a blog for a Christian ministry. That sounds like a lot of work. I know how much work it is to blog regularly and to keep up with multiple posts, responses to comments, making sure links work, and everything needed to upkeep a major blog. I’m wishing you the best Rachel!
As I write this, everyone else except my sisters is asleep and the whole house is quiet except for some fans, air conditioners, dogs panting, and pups squealing. The silence gives a guy some room to think… what if? I had seen the most recent version of “The Time Machine”, and the bad guy told the main character (name?) that he had a most serious affliction – he always wanted to know, “What if?” I think it’s pretty good to occasionally wonder, “What if?” I can’t say that my life is falling to pieces right now (although speeding time forward a few months would help) so wondering “What if?” gives mostly sad answers.
Right now, I’m so happy to hear my mom and dad breathing, to see the chair that my Uncle brought for my Grandmother, and smell the pies that friends brought for my dad. I like to remember all of the blessings that I’ve been given and one of the ways I do that is through two rings I wear constantly (“two!” you say. “I’ve only seen one!?”), and although I do occasionally take them off when fidgeting, they stay as a reminder of what I should do in the present. My main guide to what I should do is something I’ve recently started doing more – King David’s discipline – hiding the Word of God in my heart. It is a slow process. I am a very slow memorizer and I often forget, but that is part of the struggle we all have: to remember what we have learned and act upon it.
For all the people who have been blogging - great blogs! I read them within 10 minutes of getting home. :-D
