OK, "-1079"!... - revised

...I miss you! And I am going to see if I can talk you into "-2,837,229,343 on a 1,545,498" and over here!


Daniel


P.S. I realize that it would probably have to be "-72-731 8810", again: "-1079"! But I accept that! And, hey! If "8810" want to surprise me and make that MORE than just "8810"? Please! "-333.1 -5,814,876,350". I do realize this is a long shot, but I also pray I make it.


Love,


Daniel

Not phoning...

...is really agonizing, but I know I would want breathing room and time if I were "8810", so I continue to wait.

Sunday, July 26, 2015

Alright, so... I phoned my Mom last night, and...

...I realized something! Another expression I learned in "AUS" is: "-141,192.1 -1,339,111,798,935"! And that is what I am going to do! On making that phone call tonight. Also, on that invitation. It seemed like a good idea... until, again, I talked to my Mom. Then, I realized - again: time to "-141,192.1 -1,339,111,798,935"!


See, another thing I did was put myself in my friend's shoes (and - hey! Why not even my friendS'!) When I did, it was such a no brainer! In fact, here's another expression that came to mind! "-3,171,453,881,969.1"! I know, I would definitely want that - so that, my friends, is what you are going to get!


I am going to "-141,192.1 8810 -5,042,752,149". And another thing I do, right here and now, is: "48,795,821,069 8810".


Sincerely,

...There, I Read It...

Romans 14, that is. By the way, that chapter makes reference to Isaiah 45. "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by myself - the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me, every knee shall bow; and every tongue shall swear."




Being judged hurts. It hurts bad.


"And he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul (or, from the judges of his soul.)" Psalm 109:31


Daniel

Sounds Like...

...My parents are planning to travel out here to Alberta for my mother's 70th birthday; which, of course, is good to know. I am listening to this song right now:

I love Don Francisco. He is such an amazing, gentle, man of God. One time, I asked a former pastor if he had heard of Don Francisco. He exclaimed: "Don Francisco!? He's great!... But wait! He was before your time!..."


It's true! Don Francisco, I think, was big in the 70's and maybe early 80's. I picked up one of his CD's in the bargain bin as Hull's Bookstore in 1999. Then, when I was living in Australia, in 2000,I discovered one of Don's cassette tapes at the home of John - with whom I stayed for my last several months in Australia.


When I got back to Canada, I looked up that album, and discovered I could get it; along with 13 other Don Francisco "Oldies" CD's as a package, so I ordered it! I greatly enjoyed listening to them, both here in Canada, and then in South Korea; where I went to teach English twice.


Just recently, though, I learned more of Don's life story; and was amazed at how much we have in common! Hooray for Don! And for my friends! I'm really hurting right now - even bleeding (figuratively, of course, but it is bleeding, nevertheless) from certain words that were said; and I did not see them coming. But hooray for my friends, anyway.


I am reminded of a Scripture that says to "love one another with a pure heart, fervently"; and I resolve to do that, in Jesus' name.


Daniel


See, I have my own way of "focusing on Jesus", and I sure hope that is not a problem. It is a fact that sure is not going to change; because I don't think it should. Another verse says, "...let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind." And I definitely am that.


What has caught me off guard has been the inescapable insinuation that there is something supposedly wrong with me. With what I have been doing. Believing. Saying. To my own master I stand or fall; and being judged like that is not sitting well with me in the slightest. We shall all stand before the judgment seat of "Christ", or the Messiah. (See Romans 14... in fact, please read it! Here - I'll go and do that right now...)

By the way...

... I never tell anybody I miss them... at least until now!

Daniel

Definitely miss you...

...and am praying I will get "the green light" on paying another visit; with one caveat, though... The birthday boy must approve.

Love,

Daniel

I talked to my friend from Australia this morning...

...about thinking I would love to head back to MB, and why; and he agreed to pray for wisdom - which, of course, I welcome.

I can sure stay here...

...if needs be. It would, after all, save me significant expense to stay here. That, however, to me, is secondary - but it sure will help me to have peace about it all, if it turns out that I had better stick around here, for now, at least.

Well!...

...I went to that rodeo! I had no idea! Just how extravagant it would really be! No wonder other people would love to come to it. One brainstorm is: if that is the case, why not plan to come next year! Tickets go on sale after the fifth day of the tenth month (a.k.a. "October"). I will certainly see what I can do to get some good advanced tickets for next year, God willing. It was phenomenal, to say the least! Thanks for saying "8810" would love to go to it! It certainly encouraged me to check it out, and I am glad I did!

Sincerely,

Daniel

Looks like...

...I'm off to Stampede to take in a rodeo!


Love,

It aches...

...but, again, I understand. And I know that I must endure hardness as a good soldier.

Love,

Daniel

I cannot deny...

...disappointment, but I definitely understand what it is like to decide not to take a trip; seeing I didn't have the money. I pray you won't mind, but I pray God will provide the money. Nevertheless, I will not presume to see you next month.


Sincerely,


Daniel
