Ahhhhhhhhh....

Our Daily Bread
We all need refreshment at one time or another. I never really thought about needing mental and spiritual refreshment until I read the devotional today. I have taken "mental health days" off work here and there. I would usually go to the movies or catch up on my DVR recordings. ;-)

The kind of refreshment I need to learn more about is the spiritual refreshment. Frankly, I have been trying to hard to be more Christ-like. What does that mean? I have been doing too much on my own instead of relying on Christ for strength and wholeness. I am not going to say "I am going to work on that". ;-P I am going to say "I will ask Christ to help me trust him more, rely on him more".

Lord, thank you for the refreshing rain of your Spirit and your love.

Technology Thursday
I bought a new toy this week. It is my Christmas present to myself. ;-) It is a Sony bluray player that has built in wireless networking. The wireless networking enables the bluray player to download the play content from the Internet such as Pandora radio, Youtube videos, and NetFlix videos. The player also loads mush faster than my previous player (which is over two years old now). I think I will put the old in my bedroom. I might also give it to a friend. Not sure yet.

There are several new models from Sony, Magnavox, etc. that have this capability. If you are in the market for a bluray player, I recommend you consider this option!

Other Stuff
My knee is feeling a little better, but both of them are still swollen. I try to keep them elevated and iced as I can. I miss walking with my walking buddy. ;-(

The odd relationship issue I mentioned yesterday took a turn for the worse. Apparently, I am supposed to make this person a high priority in my life, but he doesn't think I should be a high priority in his. This is funny to me since we are just friends. This is also funny to me since he told me recently "never make someone a priority when you are only an option." I will follow that advice. It is a bad sign when a person stops talking to you after you try to discuss these types of issues. I am not putting all the blame on him. I could had acted better. We both could have.

Another busy day at work. I hope to have time to stop by Costco tonight. I also want to work on the song I am supposed to sing at the Advent service on Sunday night. I guess I need to figure out what that song will be first! hehehe

Lastly, I am feeling better today even though I am tired and stressed. I can do this.

Hang in there, my friends! I will be upbeat and steady. That is what I do...
