And another thing.....what?....oh, er....Hi.

Took a day off yesterday as these wonderful machines call computers sometimes don't want to co-operate......

Actually this one wasn't the computers fault....I think.

About 4 in the morning, there were the sounds of a cat fight in the front of the house....Didn't pay much attention because with all my cats.....this happens. Came out in the morning and there was my brand new (2 month old) top of the line,19" wide screen HD monitor on the floor.....sheesh.

Sucker will turn on, you get about 3 seconds of beautiful picture...then.....fade to black.....double sheesh.Have got an old monitor hooked up now, the resolution is all wrong, there are blank spots across the screen now and again and I can't' see the tool bar across the bottom.....but am at the computer....

Yesterday was one of those days, you the kind of day i mean....the "Midas touch" in reverse day....where everything you did, tried to do, touched or even thought about turned to something ....er...that belongs in a diaper. Oh well, was really trying to maintain my equilibrium and keep cool about it. Only partial success.

I am reading the Bible at dinner now, have started at the beginning and am reading it straight through, the first time I've read all of the Old Testament. So I served up my (burned) chili, spilled my glass of ice, got back up from the table and got a fork. Asked for grace and opened to my book marker....turned the page for today's new chapter...of course it was the book of Job!

That wasn't thunder you heard yesterday, that was God snickering at his servant! Read the first 3 chapters of Job and before I'd gotten 1 page done I realized I had not the slightest bit of trouble in my life. Wow, what that man went through and never once cursed God, or anything else.

His prayer says it all for me.
And I am paraphrasing this.

"I came unto this world naked,
I will leave this world naked,
I have been blessed so very much,
The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh,
I am so grateful for all my blessings from the Lord.

This was on a day, when he had lost all of his possessions and family. Would that I had that faith and intelligence.

On a side note of a different color, my sister was up to visit on Wednesday and brought up some of the family shrub....ok tree.....will be devouring that and maybe adding it to a future post....Monitor permitting.

So until the next time..............
