  • I was just sitting here thinking. I know that I have not been back to Church in a while. Not really because I don’t want to worship Christ. But, because of my job and because I always have been Introverted. I don’t like being around people. Especially, strangers. It takes a while to get to know people and once I am comfortable with people I am fine. So, this is one reason that I do not attend Church. There are a couple of more. Also, due to my job, when I am off it is down time for me and I have to admit I like to be lazy which links back to reason one getting to know people takes a lot of effort and I have been disappointed on many occasions with people. Which brings me to my third reason. People lie. I don’t mean a little “white” lie like that is a good color when it really is isn’t, but hypocritical lying. I deal with liars on my job all day long. But, then does this mean my love for Christ is any less genuine. I think not. I constantly listen to Christian music and shows while working, via the radio. So, I get my spiritual renewal and food from that source. I read the Internet visiting Christian links to gather information. I read, via e-mail, daily my devotional. So, yes I am being fed. Yes, I know the reason to attend Church is not only to be fed Spiritually but to fellowship with the people bonded by the same things that bond all Christian. The salvation Christ the Lord has given us and we should draw strength in that.

    The reason I bring all this up is I saw Passions for Christ a couple of weeks ago and it was an awesome movie. This movie can spiritually feed you for a while. It had me thinking tonight as every night, but more so tonight, that the suffering Christ submitted and allowed for me was unbelievable. I have to think that if I lived in the days that this happened and I know I would be follower of Christ back then to that I would have intercede somehow, even for a brief moment, to stop the pain and torture Christ had to endure for us. Yes, I know that I would have been killed but you know that would have been fine. Because I know where I am heading upon death. Death, even old age, these things don’t bother me. Pain, torture to me and suffering that Our Christ went through, that bothers me. If you haven’t seen the movie yet go see it. It was amazing to see and hear the audience. No one in the theater talked during the movie after the first 15 minutes. Some teenagers were sitting next to me and were laughing and talking and even making fun of the movies subtitles. But, after 15 minutes. There was absolutely no sound, other than the movie, and no one got up to go to the concession stand or the bathroom. The movie with it’s message is painful but necessary to sit through and really realize what Christ endure for us.

    Well that was on my mind and I had to let it out.

  • Wednesday, it is back to work. Unless, I win the Lottery! Wouldn’t that be great. What would you do if you won the Lottery? I know what I would do!

  • Well, I had to take Henry to the Vet yesterday for an ear infection. It cost me 70 dollars. How and the world does a shot and medicine cost 70 dollars? Seems prices go up faster then by paycheck. Someone please explain that to me. I am off for another 6 days. Take care!

  • I have 3 more days of work and then off for 9 days. YEAH!!!!

  • Went to see the Passion of Christ today and it was an excellent movie. All unbelievers should be made to watch it. Should be mandatory at all schools and universities.

  • I went on a blind date this is probably my fifth or sixth one and all have one thing in common. They were not positive experience. I mean as far as the other company I was with the couple that set it up that was a positive experience. I enjoyed meeting my friend’s wife and enjoyed there company. But as far as the date. We did not talk that much and for a change they talked about their job all the time but not to me but to my friend’s wife. We probably said 2 sentences to each other. We just did not click from the get go. Oh well. But, I definitely think that was the end of blind dates.
    We did go see 50 first dates not a great movie but not bad earlier.
    I did find supposedly a great compatible match from eharmony. But I am not paying the 250 yearly fee or the 49.95 for one month. Oh well, I have decided I am content on being a solitary human. I have Henry my dog he keeps me going with his antics along with my faith. That should be enough.

  • Does anybody even read my blogs? I feel like I am ranting to thin air sometimes! Well, I finally got my hair cut today. I work tomorrow, Thursday and little bit on Friday. I also go on my blind date on Saturday.

    I don’t know if my website is worth it. I mean does anybody even view it?

  • This is incredulous! There is nothing on TV and I have watched everything on my TIVO. This should be criminal!!!! UGHHHHH I am going crazy!!!!

  • I am off tonight and tomorrow then back to the work world for 3 days of fun and money. I had to take Henry to the Eye Vet today. This was just a schedule follow up. But, last night something happened to his left eye while I was at work. I thought the glaucoma was back. His eye was shut up and the lid was swollen. I had fears of spending 1300 bucks just to have his operate on again. But, good news. The Eye Vet said both eyes the pressure was very good. He said that his left eye was inflamed but he did not think it was from anything to do with glaucoma. He said he could not rule out a pressure spike but more than likely since Henry is blind in that eye he either hit it or poke it on something. The Eye Vet gave me an anti inflammatory to use for 10 days. He said that no other medicine is needed in the eye because it is dead and the pressure is not a problem anymore. Henry goes back in 4 months, earlier if any problems. I am very glad because it saves me a lot of money.

  • I am off this weekend but watching my sick niece. I am not well either. I feel fine except my right foot. This is the second time this has happened to me. I went to bed Tuesday night and woke up Wednesday morning and my foot was killing me and it had swollen up. I hurt so bad I was limping Wednesday and Thursday. Thursday I told my supervisor I could not keep walking and limping. So, I came home 5 hours early. I hate to come home from work once there and especially since I was more than half of shift. I have been taking Aleve and it seems to have helped still limping. I am trying to stay off of my right foot.
