...and I feel fine.
Actually, I don't feel any different at all.
The stock market is tanking, banks are failing, the presidential race has deteriorated into a game of who can suck the least, and hurricanes have devoured alot of the gulf coast region this summer.
And yet, the Angels have clinched their division, the Dodgers look like they are going to go to the playoffs, and my kids are in bed tonight at 7:30PM!!! I'd say all is well with the world.
And with that, there is alot to be thankful for. I got to see my sister for the first time since last October. My work environment has settled a little bit, and I can afford to relax a little bit believeing that my job is not going anywhere - at least for the time being. Plus, my wife is HOT!!!
I feel bad for my friend Barbara Albrecht. She has been given the death sentence of pancreatic cancer. 3 months, maybe. My aunt who was widowed last month is very sad lately - lonely. My parents are getting older and trying their best to take care of one another.
But with that, there is much to look forward to. We are going to Disneyland next month. Yay. and we may even take the boys to their first baseball game next week. Cool. And I am already looking forward to the anniversary trip to Catalina in January.
Life is kinda like the baseball season. Sometimes you get in a long winning streak. Sometimes you get in a long losing streak, and sometimes you just win one and lose one. But the key to life is to not get to high in the winning streaks and too low in the losing streaks. I do believe that life has a tendancy to even itself out.
Then there is faith. I believe God is going to provide for me and my family. Things may be rough now a little bit for everyone, but it's gonna get better, because it always does.
So for now, I am caught up on all of my stuff, and I have a few moments to blog and catch up on my facebook....
Today was interesting though. Led worship for the chick Bible study at the church. Outnumbered 80-2. Helped put the roof on the new overhang at the church. Came home and watched a nice little thunderstorm, and did I mention, we had the kids ASLEEP by 7:15PM!!!! Wierd day. Maybe tomorrow will be a little more normal....
Or maybe not.

It's too bad more people don't hold that same philosophy. The economy itself is relatively strong. Most people are no worse off today then they were two months ago or a year ago. The key is that God is in control and He will take care of His children. When we come to the point that we understand that and leave the future in His hands, it is very freeing and refreshing.
