He said it, I get it...

Our Daily Bread
We all have times in our lives when we need to feel God's presence or assurance a little (OK, A LOT) more than usual.  The past few weeks have been such a period for me.  God has been working in my life through a recent epiphany, and then the subsequent follow up lessons about being disciplined in my thoughts and deeds.  It has been a difficult time.  It has been an exciting time.  God is answering my prayers in ways I couldn't have imagined.  Praise God!

The devotional today is another example of God reassuring me of his promises.  He reminded me of the promises he made to me as I read about the promises he made to David and the way he fulfilled those promises.  How amazing!  How amazing that he still continues to promise good things to his people today!

What has God promised you?  Are you resting in his promises, believing that he will answer your prayers?  I know it is hard.  I know I ache for the answers to my prayers sometimes.  God knows the right timing for all things.  Being patient only makes us appreciate things even more!

Lord, thank you for your promises to me and to each of us.  I want to put my faith and hope in you.

Technology Thursday
Still not much going on in the technology world right now.  How boring!  Here are a few headlines that might be of interest.

IBM working on a chip that acts like the human mind  Great, a chip that sits in front of the TV eating chips and surfs porn sites too much...

Earth's moon may be 200 million years younger than previously thought  With a birthday coming up on Saturday, this makes me wonder why I can't be younger than previously thought!  Also, does the moon use some kind of aging cream to look 200 million years younger?  hehehe

Google-Motorola deal emphasizes the patent race  It appears that most of the money in the technology world is being spent on patent suits instead of innovation.  How lame...

Other Stuff
I had a nice dinner with my hero last night at Zydeco.  It is a Cajun restaurant south of I70 on High Street.  The atmosphere was a little odd (no AC), but the food was wonderful.  My hero had the paella.  I had the Cajun Chicken puff pastry dish.  Very tasty.  We also had a great talk about stuff in our lives.  I really appreciate her friendship!

I got some things done around the house after I got home.  I also planned the rest of the week since I have some things I need to do at certain times, like make a breakfast casserole for Saturday morning.  I also had some nice phone conversations with my mother and some close friends.  I am so fortunate to be so loved.

I am going to the gym after work tonight, and then on to a meeting at church.

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