Tracey worked a split shift again yesterday so we had lunch together at Applebee’s. It was a really long day for her as she opened at 5 a.m. and then closed at around 9:30 p.m. Ben & Aaron came home early from school ... some kind of teachers institute day or some nonsense ... they get Monday off too so it won’t be quiet around here for a while. I don’t mind happy noise but it gets too angry sometimes. Noah went with Denise and her Mom to visit with Denise’s Grandma in St. Louis. They won’t be back probably until late Sunday. We don’t see much of Noah & Denise anymore as they are always out and about. As is perfectly natural for two young people at their age!
I spent probably two hours late last night fussing with my DVD burner. I can’t seem to get it to burn a disc properly and I can’t figure out why. I am beginning to suspect I have some bad discs but I will have to fool with it some more to figure it out. I really hate technical difficulties. I am impatient on my best day and lately ... well let’s just say I have not been happy. :-(
Tough Request A biker was riding along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, “Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.”
The biker pulled over and said, “Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want.”
The Lord said, “Your request is materialistic, think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that would honor and glorify me.”
The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, “Lord, I wish that I could understand my wife. I want to know how she feels inside, what she’s thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing’s wrong, and how I can make a woman truly happy.”
The Lord replied, “You want two lanes or four on that bridge?”
