Not according to plan

Our Daily Bread
Anyone who knows me realizes that I am a planner.  I don't HAVE to plan everything, but I LIKE to plan everything so there is a better chance of the desired outcome.  I finally figured out that many folks don't have a desired outcome, so planning is useless!  hehehe

It can be very frustrating when you have a desired outcome from a day, a week, a vacation, a date, relationship, etc., only to have it not work out the way you want.  How do you deal with those cases?  With frustration and more than a little disappointment?  I know I don't deal with them well.  I get frustrated and disappointed.  Sometimes hurt and angry.  Sometimes indifferent and uncaring.

The point of the devotional is that God is there when our human plans don't work out to lead us with the things that he knows are best for us.  I am not saying that God has a master plan that we are all predestined to follow.  I am saying that God had some "human life best practices" can give us much better results than doing things our own way!  hehehe

Lord, I want to do things your way.  Make you first in my life.  Love others as I would be loved.

On Location - St Louis
We had a nice afternoon and evening on Thursday.  The weather continued to be very nice so we enjoyed some time outside.  My best friend wanted to look at cars, so we visited some car lots.  I like doing that stuff too.  We had a nice supper and ran some errands.  We missed out on connecting with our buddy.  I am sure we will hang out more today.

We plan to go to the casino closest to my best friend's place today to hang out for a while.  Play some slots.  Come on baby!  Daddy needs a new pair of shoes!  hehehe

Not sure what we will encounter tonight.  We might go out or we might go to a movie.  There is a GLBT movie festival going on this weekend that looked fun.  I am not sure my best friend would care for that very much.  We will see.

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