Sunday Be Done

It's a cold Dallas Day and I wanted comfort food. I am so becoming one with the crock pot. Indeed. I have beef stew crocking. Smells pretty darn yummy! Reminds me of long ago days back in Iowa when my Dad made up a pot. He didn't crock it tho. Nope. It simmered on the stove after he boiled the meat to get its broth. Hate to admit, I cheated--sorta. I bought the beef pieces all ready cut up for the stew. Oh well. And then I realized I'm missing the corn bread. We always had cornbread, Next time.

On with the day. I planned to visit Friendship West Baptist Church, however I wound up going to The Potter's House. It's about a quick 10-15 minute zip down the highway from me. GREAT message. Bishop TD Jakes asked, "What are you going to do this year?" Are we being productive to tap into that plan, that calling God has for us? Are we around the right people or do they drain us? The sermon was a touchdown for me. Unlike what the Dallas Cowboys couldn't get last week. I digress.

Just can't believe the long New Year's Weekend is over. Christmas stuff is marked down to 75%, while the Valentine hearts stare you in the face. Tomorrow it's back to work. But ya know, after Bishop Jakes' sermon today, I am rejuvenated to make the workday count because it's just one more day to the blessing God has instore.

Sounds like a good New Year to me!

The Final Day of 2008

...and where will you be when the final minute ticks and 2009 begins? Will you be at a party where champagne is your new best chum, until your head pounds in the morning? Will you be alone with your significant other-just the two of you, as a toast is made to your future? Or will you be by yourself, perhaps a little melancholy because you're not doing the other two things and then to watch "When Harry Met Sally" for the billionth time makes you cry instead, of your usual smile, during its New Year's scene? Or are you in the place where you should be with the folks you're suppose to be with? As folks left work today, the answer to, "Where you goin' tonight?" was the chorus of "Church." Ha! When did Church become the place to party on New Year's Eve? The chorus sings, "When you know Who gave you the breath, the power, and the light to be blessed to see another year. " And now you're headed to the Watch Night for the New Year's Eve celebration at the Potter's House -aka- Church.

Just the place you oughta be.

Friday And Some Instant Replay

Yesterday Movie Man tells me, "You haven't done a blog entry since you nearly burnt your house down."

And he's right. I tell ya, it's been of those weeks where just to get up and go to work has been a struggle. You're blessed to have a job--yet its not even close to what you want. The owning your own business idea looms so very close. I can hear Movie Man says "Uh-huh."

Moving on, I had a second interview for a different company Tuesday. In these hard days, this company is doing quite well. Seemed to be impressed with my credentials. But then we all feel that at an interview. But it was a second one. I should hear something by early week. One blessing is, they are about three miles from my house--straight down the street.


Dancing With the Stars. I'm all over Warren, yet I think Brooke I really don't know what she does Burke may win. She is quite good. And I've basked in the Dallas Cowboys' win this past week. Nice to a victory after such a hiatus.

Also, on Sunday I visited The Potter's House, and Bishop TD Jakes preached and I do mean PREACHED on "Do Something I've Never Seen Before." Let God do what He needs to do. Powerful stuff. I did do an 8am service, which well--was early--but I made it. Great, great sermon! Felt all of that and then some.

So even tho the week seemed to drag on--I still know each day the Lord has made. Rejoice and be glad in it. Sure, it's hard sometimes--but ya know, we are all blessed. I'm going back to a song I disco'd too, even in Cozumel, Mexico--way back in the day...Instant Replay--which I wouldn't mind the Cowboys do a replay and win this Sunday.

Cue the song:
