A Procedure

Just got done with my "procedure". I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable at the moment. Ok, a lot bit uncomfortable. Aleric made a running head butt straight for the effected area just like I did at my dad so many years ago. Nice to know that some things never change. I'll let all you thinkers out there figure out what procedure I had done.

A message from my phone about my phone

We just got new phones. They are message phones and everything works as you'd expect. Funny how the blackerry didn't...

An Enlightening Day

Yesterday didn't start out that great but it unrolled in ways I never could have predicted. I got up early so I could go to stand watch at 5 am which is never fun. On my way into work I spoke with God about my life and the direction that it is going. As I prayed for guidance as to which path I should take I decided to allow my prayers to be guided by God. This turned out to be interesting and more fruitful than I imagined possible. It is a little wierd to do this, to open myself up like that. I found that I stopped praying for guidance and felt that the answer to that question had already been given, and instead had started praying for my relationship with my family. I prayed that my children would be healthy, happy and creative individuals and that Holly and I would have the wisdom to raise them right. I also found that I was telling myself that I needed to eliminate video games from my life for now. This is not going to be easy, but I know that it is because I was allowing them to take my attention away from my wife and my family. So for now until I feel that the situation has changed they are all going into the closet. The final thing that I found the need to ask for was that He would guide me toward understanding the true nature of God. I will be writing blogs more on this in the future, but He has already begun to show me His nature. Then I got to work and discovered that I had gotten up early apparently just for the time with God because I didn't have to be at work until 1pm. So the rest of the day unrolled as you might imagine. I went home, slept in, woke up, went to work and eventually came home. So last night Holly and I were talking, it got really late but I was thinking about what I had prayed about in the morning. I remembered thinking about how I never talk to Holly about spiritual matters despite the fact that they are important to me. It occured to me how ridiculous that is. So I broached the subject. As it turns out, she still loves me and in fact I feel that after our talk last night we have never been closer. I was able to say some things that put Holly's mind at ease, even though I had no idea she was stressing about them. We communicated on a level that we never had before and it was amazing. I feel that our relationship has improved so much more in one night than I ever would have thought possible. All of this was because I woke up earlier than I needed to and spent an extra hour alone with God.
