Lessons I Learned While Sick

I recently had a pretty bad upper respiratory infection that knocked me out of normal commission for a few days. Here are some things I learned:

  1. There's a lot of junk online.
  2. There's a lot of good stuff online.
  3. It's easy to become one of those people on Facebook who hog your screen with  47 updates.
  4. It is true that you can have 120 channels and on demand and a dvr and still have nothing to watch on tv. Especially true for daytime television
  5. Coffee tastes horrible when you feel like crap but you better drink it anyway or you'll add a caffeine withdrawal headache to your woes.
  6. Sleep is underrated.
  7. When you feel like watermelons are growing in your throat it's hard to swallow.
  8. If you're prepared you will have non-expired medicines on hand and know where the thermometer is.
  9. You can make this sick thing your hobby but it would probably annoy the crap out of your friends and family.
  10. The work piles up when you don't work.
So here's to good health.  I'm finally there and I can get back to being human again and doing productive things. But I'm going to miss this online addiction.

Recent Trip to Rehoboth

A few weeks ago I was blessed to spend a wonderful long weekend with my sister and my friends in Rehoboth Beach Delaware. We had a grand time and returned home with memories, stories, a few extra pounds, souvenirs, and of course pictures. Click on the video to view.

Nothing OT

I belong to some online groups that are designed to share special interests like reading, cooking, travel, etc. Often replies to a post will get off on a tangent and before you know it, the subject is changed to begin with "OT" for "off topic". In some groups members or moderators will try to abolish off topic posts in order to keep down volume and to keep the posts related to the subject of the mail group. But it's comforting to know that nothing is OT with God. We can go to Him in prayer and pour out our hearts. We can approach Him about anything and everything in our lives and He listens. We don't have to have a religious formula for prayer. If we read something from a prayer book that's okay too if it expresses our hearts. But if the prayer is "HELP" or "God, I can't go on" or even if we lash out in fear or anger, it's okay. It doesn't change the way He feels about us. He loves us unconditionally. He is looking for us ...
