So today’s anniversary numero siete, and it’s getting close to 3 p.m. What’s a guy to do? I need to come up with something quick. I think we might try this new restaurant that’s opening today. I’ve got my eye on a 32 oz. Porterhouse. Medium. Ummm… I guess we should put on something nice since it’s our anniversary and all. Now to get rid of the kids for a couple of hours. Mother-in-law? Ashley? Summer? Mr. B? Tom? Rebecca? *crickets* No matter – we’ll dump ‘em somewhere.
14 days till the Feast of Tabernacles! 4.5 hours till Trumpets! I guess I should go prepare. See ya!
Addendum: I just accidentally replaced the previous post with this one. I hate it when that happens.

You're probably not as stagnated in areas as you think. Of course, that you question yourself this way shows that you're staying in a proper attitude and not ignoring a potential problem.
I'm amazed at the different ways God can cause growth in us. Many feel that growth only comes from Bible study, prayer, fasting and consciously applying what we've learned to our daily lives. This is true for the most part! However, I have found myself at times feeling like I'm making no progress or possibly even going backwards, when suddenly out of nowhere I realize that I have actually been unknowingly tested or a deeper understanding of God's truth hits me. God knows when & where to plant those seeds and when they blossom, it can be astounding. Especially when we've not been consciously working in that area. Just as we need to be aware of the different directions Satan can trip us up, God has multiple ways to further our understanding.
The past 18 months have not only been the start of a new life for me, but they have also opened many new areas of testing. I've always looked at trials as if I'm in a tunnel and I try to stay focused on tht light at the end of that tunnel (hoping it's not a train coming the other way). Mentally projecting myself to that end, I've usually been able to stay more open minded to see more of what God may be showing me. Then, it is merely the act of waiting for the physical to catch up. I'm in a tunnel now and have been for some time. I'm trying to stay focused, but this tunnel seems to be under construction and getting longer each day. However, I know it has an end and will continue to seek God's help to make it through.
It is good to occassionaly step back and look at ourselves to make sure we haven't lost that first love. You've brought up a good point for those around you to be watchful. Keep enduring to the end and you may want to buy an umbrella along the way.
90's? The night time lows have gotten down to 40 already.
As for stagnating, I agree with points made by T. Being aware and cautious shows concern. It is good to desire improvement, to strive for it. At times I get frustrated with myself, but we must always continue on. Pray, study, and occasionally fast. Not like I'm telling you anything new, but sometimes it's still good to hear. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go eat my words.
Siiiiiiiiiingin' in the rain, just sinnngin' in the rain...
Happy Anniversary!! We celebrated our 7th in September. Getting dressed up and eating a good meal is always a good way to celebrate.
Happy Anniversary! How'd it go? The new restaurant any good?
I'd babysit, but I'm in Florida - and a few days too late.
