Be "Very cautious"

That is what a dear second cousin passed on to me from a qualified source, and I take it to heart! "I said, 'I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue...'" Psalm XXXIX.1

Sincerely,

Daniel

The review was right!

Paying extra for Inside Out in 3D is NOT worth the extra expense. Fortunately for me, I can say I think paying extra did mean an enhanced experience of watching "Lava" - for, considering the relative brevity of that short film, if money is any kind of object, do not bother paying, again, for the movie in 3D. Looks like the smoke is finally dissipating, which is great, because - God willing - will be meeting up with my parents and brother, Jason, to go and visit the Crow's Nest Pass, where we lived until I was three. Then, we moved to Steinbach, and then (as I have said), to Winnipeg when I was twelve.

Sincerely,

Daniel

I'm off to see...

The triple "D"... (I.e. Inside Out in 3D! Yea! (Pronounced just like "Yay", but I much prefer that spelling!)

More smoke!

I've been breathing through my nose outside to filter the air! Sure thankful it is usually not this smoky!

On the bus!

The profanity! It's outrageous! I pray for wisdom! I did not speak up today, but I pray I will when I ought to! In Jesus' name!

Smoke is in the air!

And I learned it is from fires in Washington State! It was a tough day at work, too! I am so thankful, though, that I have such a good boss! And a computer with Internet that is not so outrageously slow! I sure won't go taking THAT for granted anymore!

Sincerely,

I went to see it! - Revised

In fact, I have seen it twice now! And I still plan to see at least once more in 3D! "-37,784,881,142,039.1!" Thank you to the friend that made me aware of this movie! And also thank you to Plugged In Online for their helpful review. When I learned from that review that it was about an eleven year old that makes a move, I really wanted to see it! Because I moved from Steinbach to Winnipeg when I was eleven! I will never be the same! Also, I can very much relate to the girl's experience! I think it was not very long ago that "2,132,686,023.1" saved the day for me as well!

In fact, let me actually put out there that a dear friend's words left me feeling very "4013", indeed. I would like to think that "-171" did not intend to make me feel this way. "-171.1" was just trying to get through the day, and I understand that. Getting through the day for me, however, after what "-171" said, has been a real struggle - at some times more than others, but it has definitely weighed heavily upon me.

I recall, however, that "Blessed are ye that mourn, for ye shall be comforted."

Sincerely,

Daniel

Another hot day!

Of to "Gold's Gym", God willing, of course...

How would I feel?...

...If I were in so-and-so's shoes? Overwhelmed. I would even wonder if I was being taken for granted. And if so-and-so feels that way, I pray he would know: not at all! Not by any means, although sometimes, I admit, I forget. I provoke. I do not mean to - but I still do it; and I am definitely sorry about that. God, however, never forgets - and never will. If Matthew 25 has anything to say about all this, one day, Jesus will say:


"I was a '198,422'. A '3301'. A so-called '138,611,063'. And yet, '315' welcomed me, and '-1,017,208' me."


I can only imagine what it must to be in your situation. I do, however, ask ye would consider what it is like to be in mine. I love it, but if there were ANY way out of all of this, how would I not take it? I, however, am actually thankful there is no way out of this. That way, I simply have to "3,316,967" and "-85,723,421,228" against all odds. And - friends? I mean ALL ODDS!


"Who through faith subdued kingdoms, "3,947,164,513" "1,357,051,424,145/13,290", obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, OUT OF "73,576,833,387,093" (1611 spelling) were made "89,913,422", "5,066,297" valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens...


...and other were tortured, not accepting deliverance...


...they wandered about in sheepskins, and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented. Of whom the world was not worthy...


...And these all having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us,  should not be made perfect. Hebrews XI.33ff


"God, please help me! Let me find favour, in Jesus' name, amen!"


"When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path." Psalms


I'm going to go out on a limb here, OK?


"-38,148,008,924,359", "2,418,074,544".


-150,382,010


P.S I am listening to This song again!

"A Friend in the World"

"A Friend in the World"
I have to return Matthew West's "Something to Say" CD to the library - but, before I did, I listened to the song above. In fact, I am listening to it one last time.

OK...

...Alright, so... I did finally phone today (although, I admit, not after his children had gone to bed, and not in the morning - I have been trying to get up early enough to get to work and phone before work, but that has not been happening); and it occurred to me that some things I have been wanting to see happen are not exactly looking feasible right about now. It hurts, but it is also reality - and as much as reality really hurts at times; it is still the only way to go.


Also, another thing occurred to me: if my friends had traveled here to Alberta as originally planned? They would have been here for the "-127,712"! I am definitely glad they were NOT here for that!


Sincerely,


Daniel

I have been wanting to make a phone call...

...but getting up in time to be at work early enough has been really elusive! Having said that, though, "Hooray for Russell"! He's was my "Mormon-friend-tie-off" at work today! I have learned to always phone someone if I am turning my computer on at work, and I am there all alone. He even paid long-distance charges on his jolly cell-phone (unbeknownst to me until he told me!) And - hey! Hooray for Mormons! I'm no dissimulator!


I have said it already, but I am going to say it again, OK?...


I love you! ;)
