We Got Everything We Need Right Here, and Everything We Need is Enough

I have this wonderful dream. Or possibly, vision. The way God works is amazing, but the way God speaks to us is even more amazing. The way God teaches us, is amazing. And what's more amazing is that He knows exactly what I need, and gives me that. If I need hope, He gives me hope. If I need joy, He's right there with thousands of smiles to give me. If I need confidence, He boosts me up. God knows what I need, and has blessed me so much. Just to keep it simple, I have prayed and prayed and prayed, and things are looking up. I'm very happy :)

Breaking Plans

I've been told that if you want to make God laugh, make plans. This apparently is quite true, because many of the plans I have been making have just changed dramatically. I don't want to go into too much detail, but God definitely is making me trust him more than ever before, because I have no idea what is going on, what to do, or where to go. I am so thankful for God's grace and guidance. God, help me through this troublesome time.

Discernment Had Its Hold

Today, I realized, once again, how much I am a sinner. Even more, I realized how much I need Jesus. I don't just need him as my savior, but as my daily revival. As a Christian, life simply cannot function outside the presence of our true beloved Lord. I am sad that I continue to sin, and always will, and I have no words to describe the amazing love, grace, mercy, and peace God gives me, the undeserved, so freely.

Chicken Crisis '09

According to a few news sources there is a huge chicken wing shortage in the U.S. of A. This was, obviously, horrible for this past Sunday's hungry Super Bowl watchers. It is also quite threatening to me, a frequent patron of Buffalo Wild Wings So to say the least, I'm a bit worried.

And to top it off, there was gigantic buffalo sauce spillage in front of Archie Moore's restaurant in Fairfield, New York.

"Nobody was able to cross the road Monday afternoon in front of Archie Moore's restaurant after 200 gallons of chicken wing sauce spilled onto Sanford Street."

"The street was closed several hours after the 1:30 p.m. spill as the state Haz-mat team was dispatched to the scene."

"Meanwhile, four patrons of Saint Tropez restaurant, next to Archie Moore's, couldn't get to their car, which was engulfed by sauce, Perez said."

Stephen Colbert covered the story and had a little talk with the national chicken Spokesman.

(FF to 2:20 to go straight to the chicken part)

//Music of the Month 1-09//

Jason Schwartzman not only happens to be one of my favorite actors, but also has an immense amount of talent when it comes to music. His new album "Davy", from his solo music project Coconut Records, comes out on the 20th and it will be something worth hearing.

There's nothing like some great music to start the year off right.

Day

Today, was a very interesting day,

I had no plans, I had the day off work, and I had nothing to do. So it all begins by getting a call from my number one bike part supplier at 10:30 to wake me from my slumber. My new bottom bracket was in.

So I head over and pick it up. I then head home and prepare to put on my new part, assuming this will take me under an hour. Well it actually only took me two minutes to completely strip the threading on my crankset. This evolved into a series of poundings, beatings, and pryings and led to my personal wounding.



I eventually went to a bike shop where I had a wonderful conversation with the owner, but who, unfortunately, could not fix my dilemma. My simple endeavour eventually turned into a six hour struggle to make something happen, but in the end I put my bike back together the way it was when I started.

Fortunately, my good, not seen very often friend, Danny gave me a text in the day and wanted to ride. This was perfect because I needed to vent off some of the frustration from the day. We did a nice 15 mile loop and finished up the night by 7:30. This was followed by a couple rounds of Aggravation with Mom and Dad, and the most delicious ice-cream in the world.(It's called coyote)

I'd have to say, this day took a turn for the better.

Goodnight everyone.
