GOD ISN'T DONE WITH ME YET

I suck at writing blogs, but then I suck at a lot of other things too. Do I let that get me down? Of course not. I realized a long time ago that I am far from perfect and no one around me is perfect either. I like to say that God isn't done with me yet.
I'm organized yet disorganized and I can be very anal about something. I can get upset over the smallest item and if I don't squash it at that moment it will muster and grow into something that will make me look like a total fool. I guess I've learned that if it doesn't affect my life, health or family directly that it isn't something I need to get my shorts twisted in a knot about. Life is just too short.
Now this may look like I'm trying to be perfect and organized here also with my little words of wisdom or self reflection, I'm not. This is just a check on my own persona.
God has been a big part of my life the past few years though I am not an overly religious man. I'm a recovered alcoholic, going on 14 years now, without God this wouldn't have happened. I tried the first time on my own, didn't work. I lost my first wife from alcoholism and God was there, he kept me sane and sober. God introduced me to my present wife. We met on the internet. She lived on CT and I in ND. She compliments and completes me. Yes, God has a plan for each one of us cause I know there would have been no way that I would have met Debbie on my own. God found my present job, the best job I have ever had, being a teacher. I was supposed to be at the bottom of the list of qualified applicants and the principal read the list wrong , putting me at the top, thereby getting me an interview and consequently my present. Thank you God.
I am now involved more in my religion and church than I have ever been in my life and I have a feeling I will become even more involved in the future. The nice thing about all of this is God isn't pestering me, yet he knows I will be there. My life has been good. No complaints. God isn't done with me yet, I'm waiting.

SPAMMERS' GO AWAY!

As much I want people to read my blog, I don't want to become a billboard. Seems now my blog has become and advertising site. So I now have blocked any comments to added to my blogs for that reason. I don't need to be advertising for some product I know nothing about.

WHERE'S WALDO?

I'll tell you where waldo is...............IN MY HEAD & THROAT!!! This is my first cold of the season and probably the worst I've had in some time. Cannot seem to shake it. I was out from work most of the week before but made it all this week though I still felt like crap. Last night I spent most of the night trying to cough up a lung. Sometimes I think I almost succeeded.

Last year I started my own tradition of naming my colds. Kind of helps me keep track of them. Why? I don't know, just the anal part of me I guess. Anyhow this cold is named Waldo after it's forerunners: Zephyr, Yosemite & Xanadu. Unlike the Hurricane name list I'm starting at the end of the alphabet, the list in continuous from year to year and the list of names is not already prepared. I name them as I come.

Waldo is now three weeks old and counting, how much longer where he hold on is anybodies guess. I'm hoping not too long.
