True Confession

Lately i've been enamored with two inanimate objects. Both are tempting me to purchase them. Typically I'm not materialistic enough to be tempted, but lately I can't help but dream about a MacBook laptop and a Honda Fit.

So these are not small items and they do not have small price tags. I did get a nice tax refund so they aren't out of the question. But it seems excessive and like its a big decision. It would also be hard to spend that much money on myself. Why is that?

So does anyone have advice? Should I just do it?

Last friday my adorable niece was born. Its pretty exciting to have a little baby in the family again. She is so tiny and perfect. Her name is Katelyn and she will be called Kate. The flip side is that my nephew Jonathan has an ear infection and is completely miserable.

I spent yesterday afternoon/evening with them trying to help out. All Jonathan wanted to do was sit on daddy's lap. He would sorta smile when I rubbed his feet, but i couldn't get him to smile. It was heart breaking to see him so uncomfortable. I went back out tonight after work and he seemed a bit better, but he was still miserable.

Work is very busy and it seems like there is an exponential amount of stuff to do and little time to complete it. I know things will work out and the important things will get done. It just a matter of how we get through this crazy time.

Biblestudy is going well. Its been nice to have the projector but there are so many poles in the fellowship hall, its hard to come up with a good seating arrangement. We are studying Beth Moore's "A Heart Like His" which focuses on David. In this week's video she told us that the enemy (devil) has a will for our lives just like God does. Its a pretty weird thought. When I think about what my life would be like if I was not a believer and was following the enemy's will for my life it's like an alternate universe. Like its from a Star Trek plot. The scary part is that its so easy to lose our way. It happens in such gradual steps that you might not even realize its happening until you are really far away from God's will.
