Blonde Pills

Nothing makes me feel stupider than being sick or being in pain. I hope I have succeeded in not being grumpy. All I have is a headache but it has completely ruined what should have been a very pleasant day.

I really can' even comprehend how people with constant pain live semi-normal lives. Right now in my church Stephanie Marsh and Dena Olsen have pretty much constant headaches. Stephanie has already gone through brain surgery trying to fix her pains and it came back and they don't know why. The doctors aren't even sure what Dena has (perhaps Q Fever?) and have no way of treating it. And they live productive, pleasant lives. I would be a wreck.

Lazy Sunday

It's been a cold and wet day so I've stayed inside, besides church, snuggled in warm, soft stuff reading Eclipse and appreciating art on Flickr.

Today's sermon was really good. Kirk Youngblood was down this weekend from Colorado to visit Brother Archie over Thanksgiving and preached just to give Scottie a break. I can't imagine having to prepare a strong, Scriptural message at least once a week. Kirk preached on the miracle feeding of 5,000. It's recorded in all 4 gospels but he spoke out of Luke http://bibleresources.bible.com/passagesearchresults.php?passage1=Luke+9&version=9">9:10-17 He emphasized that God will put before you tasks and ministries too big to do on your own. When that happens we should not be overwhelmed, afraid, and feel like failures but cast ourselves on His might and trust Him to do His work through us. God is not surprised or strained at any situation that arises. He already knows what He is going to do and is already bringing it to past. I think this has particular application to me in my job hunt.

I went and saw New Moon last week. I actually liked it a lot better than the book. Jacob is much more heart wrenching in the movie than he was in the book. And the soundtrack is going on my wish list.

Flickr is just way too much fun!

Dad called today. He sounded tired which is scary when it's the beginning of his day. I miss him so much but I at least have plenty of sleep and the rest of my family. He's tired and by himself. :(
