Having to work seven days in a row…
Coming down with some kind of cold right before my weekend is about to begin…
Getting a new bike from my best friend and not being able to enjoy it!!! (because I’m sick!!!)
Getting no response from a friend after emailing said friend TWICE!!! (I think I’m being ignored)
Having a runny nose, and looking like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer to accentuate!
The weather being nice while I’m stuck inside suffering from a cold….
Oh, did I mention my friend not responding to email???
Oh, alright, that’s enough complaining…

For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
Romans 7:15-25
There is no soundness in my flesh
because of your indignation;
there is no health in my bones
because of my sin.
For my iniquities have gone over my head;
like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.My wounds stink and fester
because of my foolishness,
I am utterly bowed down and prostrate;
all the day I go about mourning.
For my sides are filled with burning,
and there is no soundness in my flesh.
I am feeble and crushed;
I groan because of the tumult of my heart.
O Lord, all my longing is before you;
my sighing is not hidden from you.
My heart throbs; my strength fails me,
and the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me.
My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague,
and my nearest kin stand far off.
Those who seek my life lay their snares;
those who seek my hurt speak of ruin
and meditate treachery all day long.
But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear,
like a mute man who does not open his mouth.
I have become like a man who does not hear,
and in whose mouth are no rebukes.
But for you, O Lord, do I wait;
it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.
For I said, “Only let them not rejoice over me,
who boast against me when my foot slips!”
For I am ready to fall,
and my pain is ever before me.
I confess my iniquity;
I am sorry for my sin.
Psalms 38:3-18

And the news for this week is:
NO WAY IS FABLE A BETTER GAMING EXPERIENCE THAN MORROWIND!!!!!
I mean come on people! Hands down Morrowind beats the pants off Fable! I am kinda shocked actually that the game sites have Fable rated higher.
There’s no exploring in Fable. There’s no turning over rocks, talking to different characters to find clues, no swimming in the ocean having to beat off weird looking creatures…pfui…In Fable I’m actually surprised you have to move the controller because the game does so much of the playing for you.
Oh, yeah, okay, okay, sure! In Fable you walk around and as you do so people clap, shout out how praise worthy your character is, and talk about how wonderful you are, but I mean that’s about it for game perks when Fable is concerned!
Sigh…what’s the world coming to?????
Where’s my ATARI?
