Looks like I...

...have got another job offer! :)

Sincerely,

Daniel

Dorothy...

...she is a widow that I have been visiting at Whitehorn retirement village - and she has been a real blessing! She used to constantly talk about her husband, Henry. She was convinced that he was not dead; even though, I am sad to say, he had passed away. The miracle is: NOW she constantly wants to talk about (quote-unquote) "my girl"!

Sincerely,

Daniel

Very Windy Outside!

It sure makes me glad to be indoors at the library right now! I went with my friend to his church this morning. They are "off the beaten track" a fair bit; but I love them anyway! And they love and accept me!

Sincerely,

Daniel Robbins

Also thankful for...

...my piano ("keyboard"). Played it for hours yesterday, and realized my brain REALLY needed that!

Daniel

So thankful...

...for another long weekend!

Sincerely,

Daniel

I mourn...

...but definitely also rejoice thanks to Lisa Osteen Comes (pronounced "KOM-ez"), and... Dr. Caroline Leaf!

Sincerely,

Daniel Robbins

REAL token for good!

I am in Canmore, staying at the Quality Chateau - in the "KING'S SUITE!" Another way of spelling THAT word is "SWEET!"

Love,

Daniel

Token for good!

Phone call from Texas! I have actually been looking for work there, and would move there if God opened the door. At least, I feel that I would.

Sincerely,

Daniel Robbins

It was raining hard today...

...which made life a little but difficult, but I thank God for it! I had to walk out of church yesterday morning, and I AM mourning.

Sincerely,

Daniel Robbins

I am tired!

So thankful for an upcoming weekend!

Daniel

Wow!

Am I tired - and really thankful not to be married yet; knowing that married people get tired, too!

Sincerely,

Daniel

God willing...

...I have my first piano lesson tomorrow night! :)

Sincerely,

Daniel

It is the long weekend!

And I pray God will show me how to be a good steward of it, in Jesus' name.

Love,

Daniel

I did not quite...

...get on the 6:19 AM 409 bus this morning - but, God willing, tomorrow morning, I will!

Sincerely,

Daniel

Looking for work...

...while working is certainly "ideal", but does it ever take its toll! I am so glad this last week is over!

Sincerely,

Daniel

Looks like I...

...God willing, will be moving on to a different job!

Sincerely,

Daniel

I Just Ordered Two Copies of...

...this book. One to read, and one to give away; and I definitely recommend it.

Sincerely,

Daniel

This time, it is more of a...

..."1,561,235,853,419 4,013".

Sincerely,


Daniel

I am still...

...sad, but a different kind of sad. A relieved sad. A serene sad. And even a hopeful sad; because I know I will not be sad for ever.

Sincerely,

Daniel

Now I am really sad...

...because I have actually even been told off for certain comments I have made (by other people in the past). In this instance, I did not get told off; and I am thankful for that. And this was someone who once actually deleted an article off of their "page" when I asked them to. And then they had to delete a comment I made? I did not want that outcome. I obviously did not realize what the result would be. I am reminded of a verse from Psalm 42:

"Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise him who is the health of my countenance - and my God."

Also, earlier in that Psalm:

"O my God, my soul is cast down within me - therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites - from the hill Mizar. Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts. All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. Yet the LORD, or Jehovah, will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me - and my prayer unto the God of my life. I will say unto God, why hast thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me, while they say daily unto me, 'Where is thy God?'..."

My Soul is Sad and Much Dismayed. I have, however, written one additional verse to that hymn:

"Yet I rejoice, and shall so do -
My joy, from me, no man may take;
The mercies of my God are new,
And morning, into day, shall break.

Sincerely,

Daniel

I am sad, OK?

This is because I know that a "-112,239,010", who even "48,902,484,408" me, had to "-148,317,786" a "-4,233,485,216" I made on one of "-4,612" "29,290,000,146". I have heard it said that "hindsight is "20-20". In other words, things look so much more clear in retrospect than they do before the fact. That is certainly true of me right now. At the time, I was so set on "1,194,282,083" that "-4,233,485,216". Then, however, I wondered if I had made the right decision. When I realized that it had been "-4,004,580,232", I wondered no more.

I recall, however, James 1:2ff "Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into diverse temptations - knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience. Let patience have her perfect work in you, that ye may be perfect and entire - wanting nothing." As may be already known, I am a card-carrying perfectionist; and very apologetically so! Therefore, situations like this (though they are very painful), I count all joy! It is yet another opportunity to straighten my back (which I just did), man up, and go on to perfection - also known as maturity, or sincerity. One thing I know: when I finally get married to the young lady of my dreams, she is going to get perfection out of me; even if it is the last thing I ever give her! She will NOT have to deal with presumption that not being perfect is alright, for even one moment! Because she will be marrying me! And that is final!

Sincerely,

Daniel David Robbins

Wow, again!

Did we ever get snow today! It was so lovely and white! Hallelujah!

Sincerely,

Daniel
