It's very noisy around here today.  Noisy is a good thing!  That means that there are people in my basement making things happen.  The old is coming out!

We haven't quite got to the picking things out stage, and I'm thinking that it's probably going to be, at least for me, one of those "Well, what do you suggest?" types of things. I don't really have anyone to help me pick stuff out, so I'm kinda hoping this guy has a feel for what's popular and nice in basements these days.

The contractor is big on pictures and I actually have a camera phone these days, so maybe I'll take some myself of the progress.  I have some before pictures, but they're really pictures of the damage the eeewww did. and I don't want to share them.  As he shares the photos with me, I'll share them with you.

My poor dogs aren't groovin' to the noise, though.  For the life of me, I don't understand why they're not as happy about it as I am.

Yesterday was, well, a day.  I managed to do something I haven't done in a very long time.  I ran out of gas.

I knew I was low, but thought I had enough to make it to breakfast with a friend and then stop on the way back.  I was running late.  I should have remembered and left earlier.  As it would turn out, I missed breakfast and after an unplanned walk, I own a new gas can that I really don't think I need.  I will keep it in the trunk of the car though.  You never know when you'll come across someone else in that unfortunate situation.

I'm just thankful that it didn't happen on the way home from work on Thursday night.  It was cold!


Sometimes, when the good Lord wants you to do something, He'll provide the means to do that something.  It's been that way for us to stay in this house.  He continues to provide, just in time, what we need and we're very thankful.  I got to see the Lord do that for someone else a couple of days ago, and the story is none of my business, so I won't share the details, but it involved the Lord providing some manpower at just the right time for the right thing.

God is so good that way!

Well, that's all for me today.  Gotta get cleaned up and ready for lunch.  Hope y'all have a blessed afternoon!

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....
