It's a small world....

-
I think there's a little life lesson to be learned in this story, and it's this:  You think you know people, but what you know is kinda just what you see.  And what you see at work,

OK, we interrupt this blog post for an important update:  The SNL skit on right now is a parody of Californians.  The guy is on a date with this girl and brings her home.  His friend is there and his date is married to his friend.  They've been separated eleven years.

I can't make this stuff up.  ..Wow...Just wow!

Anyway, no reading between the lines on this one.  I thought it was funny and thought y'all might too.

My first supervisor at Hill asked me one day if I knew someone at the Guard.  I said I did and he told me about how he knew that person.  Small world, I thought...

Today, I asked a guy I go to church with if he was related to the guy from the Guard.  He told me he was and it turns out that the three of them kinda sorta have their lives a bit intertwined.  It really is a very small world.

My other story is one you already know:  One of the guys I used to work with is related by marriage to one of my neighbors.  They were step-brother and sister.  The guy from church and the guy from the Guard are also related by marriage.  The third guy at Hill was also related by marriage but not anymore.

Small world.

As the conversation bounced around at church today, it turns out that a couple of other people I go to church with know the former occupants of my house.  It's easy for me to explain where I live because it seems everybody either knows the retired dentist from down the street or the family that built and owned my house.  They mention they know this or that member of the Ray family and I tell them I bought the Rays' house.  Then they know exactly where I live.

It's kinda funny to me that today was "Small world" Saturday and then see a parody of part of my own little existence on SNL.  Guys, I get that it's a small world, but it just ain't that small.

So what does it all mean?  I dunno.  Maybe nothing.  Maybe something.  Maybe I'm gonna win a trip to Disneyland.  At this point, anything is possible.

Today was an odd day.  Tomorrow is a day for celebration!  Jesus overcame death!  He is Risen!  With God, all things are possible and I can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring!

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...

not that guy today!

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...
