adopt a Coop?

-
Hi,

How would you like to save a struggling 46 year old man?  For just $1 a day, that's $31 a month, you and 99 of your friends could adopt a Coop.  For your kind donation, you'll receive a photo of Coop (suitable for hanging on your refrigerator door), and a personalized letter.

Your kind donations will ensure that your adopted Coop can do things like not have to work 12 hour days or give up his weekends for overtime.  You'll keep a roof over Coop's & the "immigrant's" head and ensure the immigrant can give up the Wal-mart gig and just spend her days puttering in the flower garden.

You'll also receive updates on Coop, his life, his struggles, his joys and stories about how God works in his life. (um, wait, you already get that for free...).

By now, you know I'm kidding. Things are hard for all of us and I don't want your money.  I still want you to give $31 a month away though, because there are families everywhere that truly need our help.  My problems are temporary and if God wants me where I'm at, He'll show me the way.  He has before, just in time, and I trust He will help again.  If not, then what I have really isn't mine anyway.  It's nice to be at that point where I can accept whatever comes my way with that knowledge, but back to the subject at hand.

I'm gonna list a link to a story about giving because it's important.  Here it is:

And part two....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

As I drove up the circle the other day, I took a good look at my house and I decided I needed to change a few things. For far too long, I've been doing just what I needed to, to get by with keeping the lawn mowed and the garbage picked up, for the most part (except the mess in the back yard), but I saw some things I didn't like. For instance, one of my window screens fell out of the window.  Another was coming out of the frame.  I had a ladder out back I used to pick apricots.  That was in July.  My boat had a flat tire and was kind of starting to be a catch-all for this or that thing. No longer. The ladder is put away for the evening.  Tomorrow I have to get out the 20 footer to fix the other screen.  All of the junk is gone.  ALL of it.  I still have a couple of shelves to clean out and some cupboards to clean out and can do that this weekend.  But the non-working appliances, broken and disgusting furniture, and garbage is removed f...
