This is the first time in over 25 years I don't have someone to "be my Valentine"...no "sweet heart" in my life this year.
Any takers to be my Valentine? If so, send me a box of chocolates, LOL.

Hello! After a amazingly beautiful ice storm, I'm just now getting my power back. We enjoyed the primitive life style for several days, but is sure is good to be back in this century! So, its good to be back on BC.
Goodbye! We are leaving in the morning to spend a few days in Chicago. Will be back sometime Monday night. Will probably be able to check in a few times while gone...
I would appreciate your prayers for traveling mercy. Last time in Chicago my was involved in a accident...

After reading an article in "Stand Firm" this morning, I posted a couple silly polls Silly poll for men and Silly poll for women. Still having some fun with them.
Now I want to share a portion of the article written by Dave Meurer:
...no matter how many cleansing items fill our shower, and no matter how much they make us look tidy and smell fresh, a dirty reality remains. We all have unclean hearts. Our spirits have been soild by our sins...and we do not have the ability to clean up the mess.
If God told us to morally scrub oursleves up enough to be presentable to Him, it would be like ordering us to spiff up the Titanic for another voyage. Impossible. THe damage and rot is too severe.
God is willing and able to fix what we cannot. But He won't do it until we put down the scrub brush, confess our mess, and ask Him to cleanse us.
"Come, let us discuss this, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow, though they are red as crimson, the will be like wool" Isaiah 1:18

One of the most moving hymns ever written. Did you know the story behind it? Here it is:
On October 8, 1871, as Horatio Spafford and his wife Anna were grieving over the death of their , the Great Chicago Fire swept through the city. Horatio was a prominent lawyer in Chicago and had invested heavily in the city's real estate, and the fire destroyed almost everything he owned.
Two years later, in 1873, Spafford decided his family should take a holiday somewhere in Europe, and chose England knowing that his friend D. L. Moody would be preaching there in the fall. Delayed because of business, he sent ahead of him his family: his wife Anna, and his four remaining , daughters Tanetta, Maggie, Annie and Bessie.
On November 21, 1873, while crossing the Atlantic on the S.S. Ville Du Havre, their ship was struck by an iron sailing vessel and two hundred and twenty six people lost their lives, including all four of Spafford's daughters. Somehow his wife, Anna, survived. On arriving in England, she sent a telegram to Spafford beginning "Saved alone."
Spafford then himself took a ship to England, going past the place where his daughters had died. According to Bertha Spafford, a born after the tragedy, the hymn was written in mid-Atlantic as Spafford's vessel passed near the location of the tragedy.
With the story behind the hymn in mind, read the words:
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
(Refrain It is well (it is well),
with my soul (with my soul),
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
(Refrain)
My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to His cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
(Refrain)
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
(Refrain)
And Lord haste the day, when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
(Refrain)

first, thank all of you who have joined me in prayer regarding the job search.
Since my last post on this subject, they have not scheduled the interview yet. They have maintained contact with me, but, they are taking their time as the position is not vacant yet and time is not an issue for them.
But, during this delay, two other solid opportunities have been presented. One, I couldn't start until June 4th due to a non-compete with my former employer...the company is aware of this and is willing to wait it out!
A third opportunity would require relocation. The opportunity looks good, but the relocation troubles me...God will have to really nudge me if this is the one He wants for me...
I appreciate the continued prayers of my BC friends. Please pray for me to know His will and pursue it! Thanks again!

The meteorologist said they were "straight line winds reaching 90 mph" - all I know is they blew all my patio furniture away and took several shingles too! We were without power for a day and a half...my boys didn't know what to do without internet, Wii, X-box 360, etc. LOL
