Perhaps I'm bi-polar. I have extreme highs, full of silliness, and pretty darn low low's (at least it feels like it to me). I tend to fight the lows, and ignore them with all my might, but this one is hanging in there pretty darn tight.
It's probably 'cos it is that time of year when Mom died and Bobby died . . . it's hard to get past losing a mother and a brother even if it has been decades that they've been gone.
Do have some good news though. I have had some insight though that I haven't shared yet. As a Christian I have eternal life. It started the moment that I accepted Jesus as my Savior. So, I will die, but it will just be a stage in my life, just like being a teenager. That's kind of exciting and maybe why I don't see dying as such a bad thing. It's like the next stage, like traveling to a new destination, kinda scary but kinda exciting. But don't get me wrong. I'm not ready to go yet. I kind of like it here with my peeps. (See, I can fight the depression.)
But seriously, between it being that time of the year and work and family and friends . . . I'm frickin' depressed. But I'm not going to list the reasons for my depression (other than missing some people. no one can blame me for that.)
Mainly I'm writing to say that the journal is evolving. I've decided that since I can't express myself intelligently, and since I don't want to be a whiny baby, that I'm going to turn this blog into a prayer journal!
You see, my memory is T E R R I B L E (and I'm not complaining just stating a fact) and I hate it when I can't remember what I wanted to talk with Jesus about. AND, a very good friend reminded me that prayer journals are extremely cool because you can see how your prayers are answered! L O V E it!!!! D O I N G it!
And so it begins!
On this day the Lord has made . . .
As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.
So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

Prayer List
- Thank you Father thank you.
- Lord, extend the kingdom of your Son.
- O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou are revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
- God please take the blinders from my children's heart and eyes. Please give them the gift of faith. Lord God, faith in you is so comforting and brings so much joy. Thank you!
- God please bless Michael, Lindsay, and their families with faith, wisdom, and compassion. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- God thank you for the gift of my co-workers who have shown me that it is good to show that I am a Christian. It is more than okay, it is imperative that my faith shows, so that others can come to know you. Please make me into a shining light for you. Give me the words, and your wisdom, and please don't let me cause anyone to stumble.
