A Prayer

I got this prayer in an e-mail a few months ago.
It's a good prayer.
After my earlier post about Bush, I read this Prayer.
I'd like to live my life like this.
Good Goal!


Dear Lord, I thank You for this day.
I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning.
I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you.
I ask now for Your forgiveness.
Please keep me safe from all danger and harm.
Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.
Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.
Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.
Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over.
Let me continue to see sin through God's eyes and acknowledge it as evil.
And when I sin,
let me repent, and confess with my mouth my wrongdoing,
and receive the forgiveness of God.
And when this world closes in on me,
let me remember Jesus' example -
to slip away and find a quiet place to pray.
It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.
I know that when I can't pray,
You listen to my heart.
Continue to use me to do Your will.
Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.
Keep me strong that I may help the weak.
Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others.
I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way.
I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood.
I pray for those who don't know You intimately.
I pray for those that don't believe.
But I thank you that I believe.
I believe that God changes people and God changes things.
I pray for all my sisters and brothers.
For each and every family member in their households.
I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met.
I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God.
Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly.
This is my prayer.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Bush Bites, Rosie Rocks!

Yep you read that right.
Bush Bites, Rosie Rocks!
Mr. President makes me sick!
To my friends, this is no surprise.
I've disliked him since the first time he ran.
Hanging chads, my butt.
Do we truly live in the "land of the free?"
If we do,
Why does he think it's OK,
to tell people who they can or can't marry.
Balls, huge balls!
Tonight I'm unhappy with him for interrupting my Thursday night TV!
I'd have no problem with it
IF he had something important
OR true to say.
I feel my blood pressure beginning to rise.
I should stop here.

Rosie on the other hand,
makes me totally happy.
I got to see her on Leno last night. Happy!
I got to see her on Tony Danza today. Happy!
I get to see her on Craig Ferguson tonight. Happy!
I get to watch her Hallmark movie on Sunday! Happy!
The very best thing is I get to read her blog everyday!
I'm also excited about a new website
a very cool fellow Rosie fan has started.
It's a great forum.
On Monday we're going to go and chat live.
I'm very excited about this.

Well, I better go.
I want to watch the part of my Thursday TV that's not ruined.

Happy Tuesday!

Hello Everyone!
Nothing too exciting to write about. Today has been good but, not overly productive. I got up this morning and goofed off watching TV, reading blogs, writting e-mails. I have a ton of things I should be doing. Maybe they'll get done this afternoon.
I need to call Chihowa and set up the yearly retreat that some of my old camp friends and I go on for a weekend in the fall. I need to reserve it now so, we can begin making the plans.
I should probably try to do some packing (to prepare for my move in three weeks) & look for a summer job since I'm not going to teach summer school. Wow, thinking about all of the things I need to get done is making me tired. Maybe a nap would be good. I do need to rest up for Poker tonight ;)
Well, I guess I better sign off and go make a to do list.

So much to say...

There's so much to say but, no energy to type it.
I have great intentions. Plans to make a post everyday.
It seems to happen only 1-2 times a month.
I hoping to work on that.

A lot has happened since my last post.
Thad & I broke up.
I supose that's the biggest news.
Probably the most important too.
It hasn't been near as hard as I'd though it would be.
12 years. Wow. How can it be over?
Not sure I'll ever fully understand.

I'm moving. My time here at the Eaton is over.
It's time for a change. Time for me to get a bigger place.
I'm excited about my new home.
Hate to move but, I think it'll be worth it.
My new place is bigger & in a cute modest neighborhood.

I've been spending a lot of time reading.
Several great Blogs, and a few great books.
I'm loving having my daily dose of Rosie back.
I love her blog and have borrowed a part of her style.
It makes blogging more fun!
Thanks Rosie.

Well, one of my good friends just called so I need to run.
Until next time.
