olde_fashionedWell, here I go cluttering up everyone's flist again, but I feel like yakking, so there. *nyah*
I finished reading The Last of the Mohicans last night! Gosh, I can't remember ever being so glad to be done with a book in my life. Now, to start Wuthering Heights as planned, or Georgette Heyer... ;-)
I feel better today, so hopefully that means I'm not getting sick. *points to crossed fingers* If I must get sick, it'd have to be delayed to Friday night, because it's just plain in convenient to get sick before then. ;-P
Last night was filled with strange dreams, about volcanic eruptions and getting chased on a motorcycle. (not at the same time - two separate dreams!) None of the cowboys or costume balls that I was hoping for, drat!
I think most of you know my feelings on the subject of our new president, but I've been doing some thinking the past few days. No matter what Obama's platform, politics, and policies, God is still in control. God allowed him to become president, and even what is intended for evil, He can turn for good, so I'm going to try and be less worried about stuff that I can't directly control. (i.e., pretty much nothing!) If God cares about a little sparrow that falls, and if he can take what Joseph's brothers did by selling him into slavery and turn that into something good, then he can certainly use someone like Obama.
I think that we should all pray for Obama and his cabinet, (in addition to our senators and representatives) - not that "Obama saves the world" or whatever, but that God uses Obama & Co. for what He deems fit.
"Moreover let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patience and unswerving endurance..." (Rom. 5:3)
