Day 11

Nope. I'm not gone. Just late on posting. With all the hurricane hype and angst paired with important church duties, I ended up with very little time to post yesterday. So here's Day 11's...

Thankful in 30:

1. In honor and memory of all those affected by 9-11, I am thankful for: freedom in the U.S., men & women who willingly volunteer themselves to serve our country, and the grace of God that continues to allow blessings on our nation.

2. After staying at the church much past dark last night, I'm thankful for safety. Churches can be scary places when the sun goes down, especially when the door was unlocked when I got there. I'm also praying for continued safety as it appears Hurricane Ike is heading to Paris for a visit. Lord, protect the residents of the Gulf and those in the path of this storm. You are the sovereign God who controls the wind and waves. I trust you.

3. After a chat with a good friend, I am thankful for Sunny D & sugar wafers. (I'll try not to eat a whole package in 2 days again but I'm not making any promises) :)

4. I furthered my way into the 21st century last night by becoming one of the millions that use Skype. A college friend had been begging me to get it for a while and I never had time to sit down with that intention. So last night, I finally did and let me just say that it has got to be one of THE coolest programs ever! We chatted, for free, via our computers and I could see him! I don't have a webcam so he couldn't see me but it was incredible all the same. Needless to say, Mom & Dad, we totally need to be Skyping. :) You'll love it! (And Dad already has a webcam so you won't have to buy anything! And IT'S FREE!!!)

That's all for now. Maybe tonight I'll actually post TI30 on the day it's supposed to be published.

:)

Blessings,
B
Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
