Pretty nice this morning , sunny but cool . 4 hours sleep or so , the cable installer showed up about 9 , easy swap on the boxes . My wife made us breakfast of sausage patties , eggs , and toast , and we ate at the dining table , just like real folks . After watching the news and weather , reprogramming the recording list , and catching up on my web stuff , I decided to lie down for a bit . While I slept , maybe 2 and 1/2 hours , it rained and hailed . When I got back up , the sun was out again , but the sky was darkening to the southwest . It rained some , not heavy or too wind blown , and 30 minutes later has mostly moved on . Not too worked up today , even with others bringing the usual drama . When I rose from my nap , I had a message from a favorite niece asking for the url for this blog . So , hello and welcome to my personal whining page , where I sometimes slough off without presenting any actual writing . And at other times ramble on about whatever is stimulating my thinking at the time . Regardless , I try to check in here at least daily , whether I produce anything , or not . This is not intended to be anything other than a bad example of writing , composition , and the English language . As far as content , we know I'm not quite right at times , but I try to share some of the "atmosphere" of the "mental whirlwind" , in hopes it might help others understand their own struggles . A lot of the mundane , everyday action I describe is for the enlightenment of my descendants and anyone who cares to explore it . As always , you can communicate with me through the comments area of this blog . I make an effort not to identify family or friends by name , in order to shield their privacy . If you're considering a blog of your own , my ads made 29 cents in March , and 1 cent in April . Of course , I haven't really tried to market this or raise the number of pageviews , which in theory would increase the revenue from the ads .
   Back at the word spewing after a couple hours break to service the few farms on FarmVille I haven't idled in an effort to devote more time to other pursuits . Anyway , on the subject of revenue , that was never really a consideration in the starting of this journal . If I manage to grow a readership that contributes to my ministry , great , and I will be a good steward of those finances . As I said , though , if it never does better than now , that will be ok also . My wife worries herself sick over finances and the possibility of losing our home . I have become more at peace over time , as God has promised that if we believe and trust in Him , He will get us to where He wants us to be . This post has run longer than originally intended , but as I've said in previous posts the writing is therapeutic and has a calming effect as long as I don't rant . On another occasion we will delve further into the necessity of trusting the Lord , and knowing that with your faith you can move mountains . So for now , I'll wish you good evening and may you allow God to bless your lives .
