“As flies are drawn to honey,
so the arrogant are attracted to power."
“Playing in the money.”
“When a lie parades as
truth.”
“You may say to yourselves,
‘How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?’If what a prophet proclaims in the name of
the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not
spoken.That prophet has spoken
presumptuously.Do not be afraid of
him.” (Deuteronomy 18:21-22)
“A man who remains
stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed--without remedy.” Proverbs 29:1
Yes, I am still at the same workplace, though my family moved to a brand new apartment across the street from the old place. A literal stone's throw from our previous apartment.
Life is about relationships, it is not about power games or piling up stuff. It's a good thing, because I have been a failure at both of those.
Through the kindness of some friends I was able to go see my brother's high school team play for the championship in Texas. They won! My sister, brother-in-law, and I got to go to the victory celebration at the head coach's house, which was a blast. I couldn't be happier for my brother. He has lived and breathed football all his life, and has put up with a lot as an assistant coach over the years. I am so glad that I got to be there and experience it all. One of the biggest things that has ever happened in my family.
So I went from being on the bubble, to off the bubble, and this morning my bubble burst. I was laid off via email as of yesterday. Found out when I got to work this morning and a friend prompted me to read the email. Interesting, huh? Please take all this as a prayer request.
