Wrong CD

Recently I jumped on Ebay and bought some CD’s that I can’t seem to get anywhere else. They are all Bruce Carroll CD’s from years ago. I’m sure I’ve mentioned them in a previous post.

Anyhoo, the mailman delivers one to my neighbors who brought it over to me. It is funny because I was so sure I had one coming today but didn’t when I checked the mail.

Well, I peeled off the packaging and what do I find? It is the wrong CD. The invoice says the right CD but it isn’t what the company sent. I was quite disappointed. It is still a Bruce Carroll CD – but it is called “Boomerang” which isn’t “Richest Man in Town.”

I’m happy enough with the CD but I am disappointed that I didn’t get the one I wanted after spending so much time tracking it down. I guess I’ll have to get on the computer again sometime this month and see if I can track down another copy of it.

{sigh}

Downloads

They said it would fix all my problems. They said I would love it. They said the new format would make me pee my pants…ok, they didn’t say that but they did promise I’d wonder why I hadn’t downloaded it many moons ago.

It took me three hours to download the new Internet Explorer 7 – mainly because my internet explorer kept locking up mean I’d have to start over again and again and again…

May I just say, I have been using the new explorer for the last three hours (in between Monk and Psych that is) and it continues to lock up just as badly as before. So much for great fixes. Why do I have technology that just stresses me out and makes me what to throw heavy objects out my den window? It is suppose to enhance my online experience, thrill me with it’s information and wow me with how much time it saves. Yeah…right.

Today in Silence

Today I had inner turmoil about how I had not trusted God with my finances even though I was so sure I had turned my entire life over to him.

So since I’ve been up today, I have spent almost every moment in prayer and worship of God. I have listened to sermons, listened to gospel music, read my bible and, above all else, prayed.

Hours later I must say, I have a headache from dealing with all the emotions that came tumbling out of me.

But I learned too that every day I had to give my life to God – every aspect of it – and let him direct my steps. If I don’t do that then I’m not really walking in the Lord.

My scripture reading today is Ephesians 3:14-21:

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hears through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more then all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. ~ New International Version

May this verse speak to your heart as much as it has spoken to mine. Have a blessed day!

Money – I hate it

Well, I’ve managed to overdraw my bank account by 202 dollars. How, you may ask? Easy, I forgot to record my plane ticket. I’m so furious with myself but I simply forgot. I bought the tickets online at work and then we got busy so I forgot about them until I just checked my account balance. It makes me sick to my stomach. I can’t stop shaking.

Of course the account will get more money in it on Tuesday and all the bill payments went through as did the airline tickets…but it is makes me so upset when I get charged bank fees because I’m throwing money out the window. Plus it does nothing for my good reputation at the bank.

I’d throw up if I had anything in my stomach to do so.
