It's been awhile

Well, it has been the better half of a month since I have posted. I have just been so ^##*&*&% busy, that I haven't had the time. When I had the time, I was sick. I started writing something the other night, but in the middle of it just said, "what's the point." Sometimes I feel that I have so much to say, but when I start typing it comes out as just mindless rambling. Who wants to read that? Who wants to read any of it?

After 2 months of sickness in the family, I had a flip out the other night. I was washing most of my work clothes for the week, and when I got them out of the dryer, there was ink spots over everything. Evidently, I had missed a pen in my pocket. It was a good one, too. I mean it was one of those that you get at the local drug store, but the ink wasn't coming out of anything. GREAT! My wife suggested that I go to the store and buy some alcohol because that had gotten? the ink out of some other clothes that I had washed (see a pattern here)? Well, I got into my truck and sped off to the local Walgreens (they have everything). On the way, I couldn't take it anymore so I thought that I would rant and rave to God. Oh yeah, it was a pretty good rant, too. I told Him how I didn't understand why all of this was happening to me. Afterall, I had been faithful in serving the church, giving, etc. etc. I asked Him, "when is it going to be my turn for things to go my way." I was mad as hell and wasn't taking it anymore. Later on, after I calmed down (next morning), I thought about it and then thought that he must have gotten a pretty good laugh out of me. Then I, got a pretty good laugh out of it. I was reminded that there is food in the house and that I could afford to go and get new clothes without any financial set back. Everyone in the house was now healthy and my youngest daughter just turned 1.

Moral of the story? I don't know, but maybe it is: don't go demanding answers from God when using self-righteousness as an argument.

All in all, it is a good life. Other than having a petty boss, but that is a different story.

Later...
