The Editor-in-Chief is out of the office and so it has fallen upon me to take charge of the office and see that the news gets out (of course, she has no idea that I am doing this so once again I get to have some fun).
Sandra is in Kissimmee this weekend and will be back home tonight around 9:30. She was invited to a volleyball tournament with her girls. They did OK for their first night. They won 3 and lost 2. The two teams they lost to were not a surprise, but I am sure by the end of the season they will be able to beat them. It will take some time for the girls to get back into the "serious play" mindset. It took nearly all season for them to get to that point, and when they did they started beating "the unbeatable". Then preceded to go to the championship and win.
These girls have a lot of pressure on them. Everyone is going after them. They will need to stay focused and do what their coach tells them to do. I think that was the main problem last year in both volleyball and basketball.
Anyway, that leaves me at home with the dogs until she gets back. I loves these dogs. They have their moments, but I believe that they are going to do so well with the baby. They will take the baby right into the pack and protect him/her.
Speaking of the baby, I think I really want to find out if it will be a boy or a girl. I struggle with calling the baby an "it". I think it hits my belief that it is not an "it" but a fully alive being that mankind in general has come to numb itself into believing a lie so as to sooth their conscience as they murder millions of them to try to keep their lives the same. They want the grown up life without the responsibility that goes with it.
It causes me to think sometimes on how our world goes through "Ages": Enlightenment, Reason, Renaissance, etc. I wonder what the next one will be labeled? Will they see their lost condition before it is too late? Will we have another great period of revival where millions are tired of fighting God and yield to Him? Wow! I am not sure I can imagine millions of people turning in true faith and trust to Christ in a relatively short period of time.
Maybe that is why the Lord has delayed His return. He knows that there will be one more great revival. Who will He use to bring that revival about? Some great evangelist? Or could it be one of our own from our youth department that has a passion for God and a desire to reach the world for Christ?
Well, there I went on a side road. I tend to do that quite often.
Anyway, I love the dogs and look forward to training the dogs so that their lives will not be completely ruined. I look forward to the day when we can take all four dogs on a walk with the baby. We get so many looks when they see us walking with two of the dogs. Then when they see us with all four you literally see jaws drop. I think it will be very amusing to see the faces when they see Cody hooked up to a cart pulling the baby (and yes, I will have Cody leashed still so that he does not run off with the baby).
OK, done rambling. Hope your weekend goes well.
Michael
