Good morning. Sometimes my dreams wake me up and I just have to tell myself that it was just a dream, it did not happen, do not worry about it. Up now - can't remember what I dreamed - but dealing with what is real and what is happening is scary enough.
Day 1706 - Living "MNTY" one day at a time. Today, I will remember to accept the things I cannot change and realize that that can only happen as I have the courage to change what I can, my attitude!
Today is MMM (Step Two) and (ugh) work at the FS. I have to work all day so that is all I am going to get done today - even though there is so much I need to do.
Yesterday was a good day. Started moving the men's department at the store - I do not like it but I cannot change it. Not once was I ask what I thought! And I had plenty of thoughts! The roofers began installation of a new metal roof on the house - hope they can finish today. And we had our east side fence row trimmed - paid way too much and was not satisfied with the quality of the work. Should have done it myself. But it is done and I cannot change that either. Went to dinner at Longhorn for my birthday - a gift from Alicia. Saw Denver and his son on the way in and Kathy and John on the way out.
Tomorrow is the start of a new week. And it is my birthday, and I can't change that either. Church and will spend the afternoon getting things ready for Jean and Marv. Cooleys should be at church this morning. They got a king size bed - Marylee is happy, and a lift chair for Ray - Ray is happy!
And the really like the new place. I haven't seen them yet. They have been rally busy their first two day here.
Jean and Marv get here Monday and will be here for two weeks. But I am rarely included in any of their plans and I have to work anyway. So looking forward to being in Haiti the second week of February.
MY RUDDER AND ANCHOR!
Psalm 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Proverbs 10:2 - Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.
The Word, Alive in 1 (Reading Genesis 28 - 30) Eternal treasures are reserved for those who forsake earthly pleasures to do the will of God.
From "Knowing God" by J. I. Packer: Knowledge Applied - Our interest in truth and orthodoxy, in biblical teaching and theology, is not as ends in themselves, but as means to further ends of life and godliness. Our ultimate concern is with the knowledge and service of
the great God whose truth we seek to understand.
MMM - just some thoughts: (1) Step Two - "Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity." (2) Pray for 'moments of clarity' (3) I don't want to be dead long! If I could just kill myself for a couple of day!
Saved by Grace . . . Living by Faith,
Mike

This glorious conjunction of the lion and the lamb shines all the brighter because it corresponds perfectly with our personal weariness and our longing for greatness.
