Don't get up, I will find my way out: Hello Mr. Sun

Hello Mr. Sun

Left the house at 4:30 this morning as our main database was locked up and I could not get in remotely. Not much traffic at that time is about all that is good. Got the system back up by 5:45 and headed back home to get a shower and take the boys to school. Back at my desk by 7:30 - can you say overtime? Oh wait, due to a recent CA law, I no longer get OT pay, just "straight time for all hours worked." Gotta love our gubermint. "Hi, I'm from the government and I'm here to help" are the scariest words in the English language (maybe any language).

More postings after I have woken up.

Gratitude

As I wend my way through the fields, fens and forests of life, I find myself changing - oh not in large obvious ways for the most part, but in gentle, subtle ways (well sometimes large, obvious and PAINFUL ways). I take with me a little bit of every place I have been. Of all the influences in my life, by far the greatest is my Lord and Savior - Jesus Christ. His grace and mercy are the reason I am still breathing and "wending." From Him, I endeavor to take the most "bits" and apply the most change.

Of great importance in my life is my beautiful wife, Emma. She is truly the love of my life and my dearest treasure. She too has displayed enormous grace and mercy in our relationship. Without her at my side I would drift aimlessly indeed. She carries my love and my pride with her wherever she goes.
