Oreos and ATMs

We had to have cash to buy "dinner" at Costco, so we stopped at Target and picked up a box of Oreo's and got $20 cash at the same time. Same as a withdrawal fee at the ATM but more rewarding.
We forgot to get milk when we got the Oreo's but we roughed it, and ate about 8 of them without milk. Made a nice predinner dessert.

The Hot Dog: Greatest Invention of 2 Centuries! $1.50 for a foot long & refillable pop at Costco.
We stopped by Mickey's Dairy Twist on Pontiac Trail in South Lyon Michigan but they were closed already, so we had to console ourselves with 2 large chocolate Frosties from Wendy's. Got all the stuff from Costco unloaded. Didn't save any money, but won't have to buy bathroom tissue, paper towels or facial tissue till 2012.
Going to go upstairs and polish off those Frosties and watch an episode of something we DVRd. It's a tough life, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!

Just read an interesting article about the heart of Detroit Tigers, revealed by how well they played when nursing injuries. Just a thought from a preacher, but when every thing else is equal, heart always wins.
When everything else is equal, heart always wins. Heart wins a lot even when things are unequal. Heart quickly spots the weakness of the over sized, over paid, over trained opponent and exploits it. Goliath had size, training, finances. David had heart.
I'm not a gambling man, but after reading about the heart of the Detroit Tigers, and knowing they are not slack in preparations, my non existent money's on them.

Mary and I went to WalMart to pick up my medicine and buy myself a new pair of jeans. I had to go down two sizes to get them to fit right. The bad news is they fit so well I don't need my suspenders, my fashion statement.


On the other hand: There once was a Man who was interrupted graciously by one of the most beloved women in history. He bluntly told her: Woman, this is not on My agenda... and walked away silently. Yet He loved her, and she honored him, and they UNDERSTOOD each other. 
The Man was Jesus, the woman was Mary His mother, the occasion was The Wedding in Cana.
Point? There is a structural conflict built into male female relationships, even in the BEST. God made it that way and He LIKES IT.


Suddenly I am an expert on a subject that no one likes to speak of or think of, including me, Hell. Since I first spoke on this, a world wide search has started looking for my blog on Hell, with 375 searches for the word Hell and 1000 views of that blog. Interesting that I did not make the connection between the spiritual heart and Hell, until well after I had learned to Praise and Thank Him in all things. Perhaps a deeper sense of gratefulness is directly connected to an awareness of what I have escaped.


God takes no joy in vicious words, destructive relationships, proud hearts!
The bitter word, the indifferent heart... will have no place in God’s Kingdom.
Doing the right thing will cook your goose, but the aroma of that sacrifice pleases God!
An old cold heart can hide in a young beauty, but fiery passion is agelessly beautiful!
The JOY! of a God cleansed heart is ever flowing, & infinitely greater than the happiness of a good day.


So far. I’m the oldest I’ve ever been!
I HUFFED & I PUFFED and I got out of my chair.
Horse lovers are STABLE people.
I’M THE BOSS!! my wife said I could be...
ME BOSS - YOU NOT!
