On location: Chicago Day 2

Our Daily Bread
I have a silly joke with some friends when looking at a man that I find attractive "I am licking him with my eyes".  ha!  It is my silly way of saying "I am lusting after him".  The devotion today talks about lust and sexual purity.

God convicted me of this many years ago, but I didn't do anything about it until about two years ago.  I trashed the few videos and porn magazines I owned.  I felt pretty good about myself until I realized that God wanted me to remove all the porn and hookup sites from my web browser.  I reluctantly did that next.  Finally God said I had to get rid of the thousands of pictures I had on my computer.  Whew!  I did that as well.  I ran across some computer backups and removed the temptation from there as well.  These simple steps helped me be more sexually pure.  It is not an easy thing,...that is without God's help!  After meeting mi tigre, my attitudes on some other sexual related things have changed as well.  I needed that!

Lord, help us all be willing to submit all parts of our lives to you, even the nauthy parts!

Chicago Stuff
I had a great first day in Chicago!  I was soooo tired by the time I finally got to my hotel room!  I arrived at Midway at 6:30 am CST.  I found the train and took it downtown.  I found my hotel so I could drop off my luggage.  I walked to Michigan Avenue where I took a bus to McCormick Place for the car show.  I was very, very early so I hung out for a while and talked to folks while I was waiting.  The car show finally opened about 10:00 am.  Wow!  I forgot how big it was and how many lights!  hehehe  Since the crowd was light first thing in the morning, I got through my favorite exhibits quickly.

I got some pictures for mi tigre.  That was very cool.  He wanted Silverado and F150 truck pics.  He also wanted a pic of the new Camaro if they had one there.  They did!  He was very excited to see those!  We have a couple of jokes about those pics, but I won't share them here!  hehehe

I found my way back to Michigan Avenue.  I stopped by Garretts to pick up my caramel popcorn and my cheese corn.  Mmmmm!  I ordered a small pizza from Giordanos and walked the few blocks to pick it up.  I walked back to the hotel with my treasures and stayed in the rest of the evening. 

It snowed like heck yesterday afternoon, which was interesting!  I was covered in snow when I arrived in the hotel.

I talked with mi tigre a few times and then passed out for the night.  Whew!

I am exercising this morning, then going to the movies.  It is like 10 degrees here.  Don't want to walk around too much!

Let go, my friends!  God will be there to catch you and hold you in his loving arms!
