a little update and miscellaneous thoughts

well, doug survived his first bh test.
day one was killer, but he nailed day two.

finland--the interview is this saturday.
i'm glad i'm going forward with this.
if i am chosen for the team, you will each have to pinch me a couple of times upon realizing i will be going to FINLAND for a month next year.
for free.

i haven't even tried to get another job since i was fired.
for now, i'm really enjoying being at home each night--doing laundry, cleaning, organising...whatever i want/need to do!!

i'm pretty sure we can manage without me getting another job, but having the extra $ would be nice. getting out of the basement would be nice. although, we ARE supposed to only pray for our DAILY bread. does anyone know of an example in the Bible where we are taught to save $? i'm really just trying to figure out some things. i know we are to be good stewards, but...does that necessarily mean saving? i mean, in every story i can think of re: goods or money, the "saver" is condemned. for example, when the israelites took more manna than they were supposed to (more than one day's worth), the manna spoiled. it rotted. and of course, the man who saved all his stuff in his barn died that very night...etc., etc. just something i've been thinking about lately. any thoughts?

in total contrast, is anyone else obsessed with the monopoly game at mcdonald's. i know, disgusting. i'm embarrassed to admit it, but alas, it is true.

did you know sean michel and jay newman are in africa with matt elkins right now? well, they are. sean even got to play and sing about Him in front of 1000s with one of the most popular bands there.

i have a pampered chef show on the 29th. it's called chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. :)

well, that's all. i'm thankful for you, dear friends and readers.

In the example of the man gathering more than he needed...God told him not to gather more than he needed. The man was punished for disobeying God, I believe, not for the sake of saving.
