Well two important dates are upcoming: Thanksgiving and my brother’s wedding!
First of all, I hope everyone has a very happy Thanksgiving. Each Thanksgiving I always find some reason to be thankful for the good things in my life, and this Thanksgiving, I urge everyone else to do the same. And not to be a hypocrite, here is a few reasons I am thankful for all God has blessed me with in my life.
I have been blessed with my good friends I have, especially Jennifer. I am also thankful for my job, for my health, and my family.
No matter what we may be going through, we can always find a reason to be happy and thankful.
So my brother is getting married this Saturday at 2 pm; Jennifer and myself are going to pick my tux up tomorrow. I don’t normally dress up in a penguin suit, but special occasions though are cool I suppose. I’ll be sure to upload some pictures after the wedding for everyone to see.
But everyone have a happy Thanksgiving and a good rest of your week. As my buddy at work says, LOVE PEACE AND CHICKEN GREASE!
Well as most of us figured, Barack Obama has made history by being elected President of the United States of America.
I went to bed around 8:45 pm last night, very fatigued after only getting two hours of sleep that day. I woke up this morning and heard on the radio, “current time is 7:49 am, maybe Sarah Palin will have another bid at the White House in four years. If you haven’t heard, Barack Obama is the President-Elect, willing after a landslide last night.”
So say a prayer, because I have a gut feeling that the next four years will be as bad as the last four years, if not worse. “God bless America”, we need a blessing.
Ever heard the song “My Beautiful Rescue”? I was watching music videos on youtube.com and stumbled upon it. I’ve never heard the song on any radio stations, but none-the-less, it’s still rather good. Just go to youtube.com and search “My Beautiful Rescue”.
Ever met people who remind you of someone else, of another place and time? I was talking to a friend of mine and we got to talking about illnesses. She told me she had lupus, and some of the problems that occur with that particular illness, and it reminded me of Michelle.
I don’t talk about Michelle much, some of you all may know of her. She was my best friend, and girl friend, who passed away a few years ago form lupus. I knew my friend had told me about being sick off and on, but when she told me it was lupus, it just kind of shocked me. I didn’t know that anyone else I knew was afflicted by that illness.
It briefly took me to a flashback of the past, to another place in time, with Michelle. Sometimes it’s smells, music, movies, little things that remind me of her. Other times it is people, but I have yet to meet someone else who had her illness. It saddens me that my friend has this illness, but I can relate to this person, maybe that is one of the many reasons I met Michelle.
I think about her often, her family and I still talk, I wonder from time to time if she thinks about me in Heaven. I bet she’s probably still taking it all in. Just imagine the beauty of Heaven, meeting Jesus face to face, how wonderful, amazing, that would be. Someone once write in a song, “only the good die young”, I believe it.
On another note, made it home from Pittsburgh, PA safely. Got lost in a WV coal mining town at like 4 am... It was spooky. Also the yankees up there have no idea what okra is... yeah. Needless to say if I never visit that town again I won't lose any sleep.
Well I believe I've told y'all about Jennifer (see post a few back). Well I took her to church last Wednesday. She really enjoyed it, and everyone there enjoyed having her there, too. ha ha, after church was over I had to run to the back for a minute and as she says, I left her to fend for herself as everyone came to meet her. Oh well, meeting new people never hurt anyone I guess. :-P LOL.
She said she wants to go back, so we will see how that goes. Also glad to know everyone liked her too.
