I will embrace it and make the best of it.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I am finally at the point where &#8230; as much as it was a letdown (and no &#8211; I don&#8217;t like to admit that it was in fact a letdown) I realize it was also a good thing.&nbsp; I will have it all on my own shoulders&#8230; I wont be able to give anyone else any bit of what I&#8217;m feeling.. and I can handle that.. I have before.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>So now I am scrambling to get aid as quickly as possible.&nbsp; I&#8217;ll be fine, I can do this.. and when it is all said and done.. I will be a better&nbsp;man because of it.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Then when my brother came home, he announced he had lost his phone.&nbsp; So it was a pretty good day, well&#8230;. minus the day and everything in it.. but add the rain, and it was indeed a good day.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>So I figure Central with&nbsp;5&nbsp;to 7 thousand people attending.. isn&#8217;t that big.&nbsp; Don&#8217;t believe me?&nbsp; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lakewood.cc\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Check this out.<\/a>&nbsp; I want to attend some day, instead of 5 to 7,&nbsp;fifty seven&nbsp;thousand..&nbsp; That would be cool and would make for one heck of a worship serivce..<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>As I leave the east valley, I see I am leaving it in good hands.&nbsp; No.. not Allstate either.&nbsp; I mean <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifechurch.tv\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">this<\/a>.&nbsp; Kinda cool huh?&nbsp; I saw it when I was going to play basketball earlier last week.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>It is now past 12:00&nbsp;AZ time&nbsp;so it is officially her birthday!<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#ff0000\">Happy Birthday Katie&nbsp;Archambault <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xanga.com\/home.aspx?user=katiefreakinlynn\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">(tell her)<\/a><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My back is filled&nbsp;with searing pain;&nbsp;there is no&nbsp;health in my body.&nbsp; I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan&nbsp;in anguish of heart.&nbsp;&nbsp;All my longings&nbsp;lie open before you, O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.&nbsp; My heart throbs; my strength fails me, even the light has gone from my eyes.&nbsp; My friends and companions&nbsp;avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away.&nbsp; Those who seek my life&nbsp;set their traps; those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they plot deception.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am like a deaf man, who cannot hear; like a mute who cannot&nbsp;open his mouth; I have become like a man who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"line-group\">I wait for you, O Lord;&nbsp;you will answer, O Lord my God.&nbsp; For I said, \u201cDo not let them&nbsp;gloat or exalt themselves&nbsp;over me when my foot slips\u201d&nbsp; For I am&nbsp;about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.&nbsp; I confess my iniquity; I am&nbsp;troubled by&nbsp;my sin.&nbsp; Many are those who are my vigorous enemies;&nbsp;those who hate me without reason are numerous.&nbsp; Those who&nbsp;repay my&nbsp;good with evil slander me when I pursue what is good.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"line-group\">O Lord do not forsake me; be not far from me, O my God.&nbsp;&nbsp;Come quickly to help me, O Lord, my Savior!&#8221;&nbsp; &#8211; Psalm 38:7-22&nbsp; (NIV)<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"line-group\">Update : <a href=\"http:\/\/music.jshox.com\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/music.jshox.com<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"line-group\">Pray Hard, God Bless<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"line-group\">Ciao<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was one crazy day.
