saturday - mom went to church with me, praise God! i think she was afraid of my church... she has seen the change in me and i think she's afraid she'll fall in love with Jesus as hard as i did... it's not her style... i just want her to get to heaven, like i want everybody to get to heaven... spent half the night in the emergency room at memorial regional... baby had a very high fever... turned out to be an ear infection... praise God that is all it was... you know how you get that twinge of fear when a baby gets sick? he was not a happy camper... the ER was quite nice... it was actually a pediatric ER and so was the hospital... they had video games! like the kind you see at best buy or circuit city... and the big screen tv was tuned to nickelodeon... anyway... we ended up there until 3am... good times >8-)

sunday - got up at 730am to go to "the refuge" (church for the homeless)... i love it there, although i was a bit tired... i rolled forks in napkins, made some new friends, sat through the church service (which is held under a tent) and then went and washed the food trays and some pots and pans... then, when i got home, me and robert and galen and my sister and my other nephew went to the beach for 2 hours... and we had more fun times the baby was feeling a little bit better and was smiling a bit again, although still feverish... i think he got sick from ocean water getting into his ears...

now - staying home from work so i can see the family off and to make up for lost sleep from the last 2 days... maybe we'll go to the pool... i've really got to get out more and enjoy the beautiful weather... my back hasn't been too bad lately and i'm seeing a doctor soon about that... BP is finally coming back down to earth, but the side effect of drowsiness is killing me, will talk to the MD about that little problem... anyway... God is good... He sees me do things wrong everday and loves me anyway... i am sooo thankful He gives me new mercy every morning... before Christ, i used to tell people i was going to hell when i did bad things and that i hoped i could visit heaven for special occassions because of the good things i did... now i know i'm going to heaven, not because of anything i do, but because of the gift of grace from God that i accepted the day i gave my life back to Him... it was always His in the first place... have a great day! <3
