What Am I Doing Writing a Blog?

After reading toooooo many boyz blog I ask myself “What Am I doing writing a blog?”  Looking at my posts they seem so insignificant, mundane.  I wish I could write and express myself in ways that make people think and grow, but I don’t know how – I will learn from her and others, and for now, leave that to people like her to do it.  I love her writings.  Thank you Heather for letting us know she is back.

FIREPROOF Never Leave Your Partner Behind

Fermin and I had not seen “Fireproof”.   Wednesday night Joe and Gloria invited us to their home for dinner and then to watch the DVD.  We had heard it was good, but not with a lot of enthusiasm.  Let me tell you – We loved it!

The Clock In My Blog Was on UTC-0 (?)

From the very begining I notice I could schedule my posts through out the week, but the clock was all discombobulated (here’s that word again).  If I wanted my post to appear the same day at 11:00 pm I would  wait for the evening to come and then schedule it for the next calendar day at 7:00 am - Ha? It took me a while to get the hang of it but I used this system and it worked for me.

Last night I decided to get into Word Press and see if I could fix the clock.  I went into “Settings” then clicked on “Timezone” and set it to  UTC -8 and it was done.  What is UTC? and why is this set to UTC?  I guess it has to do with the world time.  I looked it up and still did not make any sense, but I fixed the clock and that is all that matters, right?

Then I saw this picture (I’m a picture person) if I had seen this map I would have understood it sooner.  Yeah for pictures!

Great Friend, Great Food and a Great Sale!

 

Great food, great friend and a great sale, all in one day!

Noemi and I live in the same city, we try to get together to have lunch, but we are not successful.  We do see each other, but usually in another part of the state, but today was the day and we had lunch at a little sandwich shop in Fig Gardens.  It was kind of cold, but decided to seat outside (mostly because there was no room indoors), but it was nice, I kept my coat on and the sun was shining

After lunch I headed to Coldwater Creek and, oh boy, they are having a great sale!

Where I Was Last Week End

On Saturday we were picked up from our hotel by Pastor Darryl Beard and his beautiful wife Alexis.  Had a delightful dinner at the Parkers’ Lighthouse Restaurant in Long Beach overlooking the Queen Mary.  I had not been to Long Beach in a long time.  What a beautiful place, I think Fermin and I are going back soon.

Next day Fermin preached his yearly sermon at Mount Carmel Holy Assembly.  What a sweet fellowship they have at that church.  Pastor Beard and his wife have been leading that congregation for the last seven years.  You can tell the people in the congregation can’t help but love their Pastor and their First Lady.  It was good to be with them.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 We got home Monday afternoon.  That evening Fermin was to go and have dinner with a group of Korean Pastors.  I was asked to attend, and I’m so glad I did, I was able to see my friend Fanny and meet one of the pastor’s wife, Susan, and also I got to meet our new US 2 missionary, Sherann Kim.  Sherann is going to work at the State Convention in Evangelism with our youth.  You can tell what her passion is as soon as she starts talking about young people.

Tony also invited a retired Executive Director from the Ukraine, you can see him on Fermin’s right side.  At the dinner table we had several Korean Pastors and wives, a Russian that was born in Germany and raised in Argentina, a Ukrainian that did not speak English, two Mexicans raised in the United States, one Panamanian (your Executive Director), a Mexican American, and one Anglo.  I think this is a little bit like how haven is going to be.

Intelligence For Life

 

Did you know that not only is it good to keep your mouth shut for obvious reasons – it is also good for your health?  I heard on the radio that if you are among people who are sick, it is best to keep your mouth close and breath through your nose, that way the little hairs inside your nose trap some of the germs that otherwise would go right into you through your mouth.

Good advise during this flu and cold season.

Weight Watchers (11) Weigh-In

You can skip this Post altogether.  It is not going to make sense.

I’m all discombobulated with my Weight Watchers records, besides I have not been as careful as I should.  Today I discovered that the new log where they have been recording the weight (since the first of the year) is a little different than the one I had before.  What they were telling me did not match what I was seeing on my piece of paper, Ha.

For my own benefit I’m going to start at “Zero Pounds” loss, which is not too far from the truth (with all of this gains of point this and losses of point that)  I have not moved much from dead center.  I know I’m babbling, but I’m trying to make some sense of this for myself, and I think I got it. 

I gain this week .4, but I’m starting at Zero pounds, remember?

FRIDAY 1/23/09

• Weight Gain/Lost:    -0.0

Total Weight Lost:     -0.0
