Who can sleep with all this $#$^ noise?

-
I woke up this morning at 7:45.  I went to bed at two.

I didn't want to wake up that early.  But who can sleep with all this noise?  

Lark Circle is usually pretty quiet.  Not today.  Here's a sampling of the friendly noises I've heard in the last fifteen minutes:

Cooper, a very large dog that belongs to my neighbors' kids is visiting.  He's currently in the dog run in my neighbor's yard.  Cooper (no joke, the dog's name is "Cooper") doesn't like the dog run and he's letting the neighborhood know it.  Funny story:  Cooper got loose one day and my neighbor is out yelling for him.  I didn't know the dog's name was Cooper.  I was working on my truck and thought he was trying to get my attention.  The look on his face when he figured out what he was saying was priceless...

The young man who I'm letting use my driveway just got here.  He needs a muffler.  He's going to Weber State and apparently parking is an issue.  Not in my driveway, though.  We gots lots of room.

Someone is mowing a lawn this fine morning.  

The traffic on Lark Circle sure has picked up, it seems.  That's probably because school just started again and college kids don't realize that a: you can't park on the street here; and b:  you can't get to the campus from here.  You'd think the dead end signs would clue people in, but no.  

There are good noises, too.  I can hear the clock tower chimes from my yard.  That's kind of neat.  Twice a day it plays songs.  Once it played Billy Joel's "piano man".

Well, that's all I got that I'm gonna share.

Today, I'm going to give up on going back to sleep, go make myself some coffee and enjoy sitting on the patio.  Later on I have some errands to run then it's back to work.  Overtime this weekend, so there went my four days off.  Oh well, the money is a blessing.

Tomorrow, boys and girls, I am going to talk a little about my life and how this mess may hurt me but glorifies God. (It's kind of the theme of the week, and I haven't had a theme for a while).

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...

The Declaration they made.

-
 Tomorrow is Independence Day.  It's the day we celebrate the birthplace of the idea of the United States of America.  Constitution Day comes later this year.  On the 4th, we celebrate the document signed that signified that Americans wanted to be a free people, under self-rule and free from the tyranny of their king. In the opening salvo of the document, they clearly point out that the rights they believe all men should have are given by their Creator.  According to the law of non-contradiction, the truths they hold to be "self-evident" (great words, are they not?) about how the Creator of the Universe blessed them with being created equal, says that for these words to be actually true, the Creator must be.  He cannot not be and have the Declaration of Independence be a truthful document. Our freedoms in America hinge on that document.  The people then fought a war over it.  We've been fighting wars ever since to keep and protect those freedoms....
