Ahh, I slept late. Which was nice, but I was going to do so much stuff today!

Ha! Well the day's not over yet, and I have to ask myself why I'm blogging about this when I could be doing some of that stuff right now? There must be a condition or a syndrome or something that explains that.

Once I'm up and ready, I'm off to Birmingham, I'm going to the photoshop to get some prints enlarged, maybe. I need to get some folders, albums or something to put my prints and negatives in too. I also want to find out how expensive it is to get prints from digital photos. These days you can just take your compactflash or smartmedia card and they'll print off prints for you, while you wait! We're actually living in the future people!! ;)

I also need to go to the Christian bookstore to get some bible/study notes to send to a friend. Every time I go to that shop I end of spending most of my life savings on Cd's, books, pencils and hacky sacks with bible verses printed all over them..what?! They're good to give away..I know I have to stop..pray for me.

I want to learn another language. This always happens, I watch Amelie, then I want to speak french. I've been watching lots of foreign films lately. Lots of Chinese ones too. They really rock, but anyway. Another thing I always do is I get interested in something..it could be anything..Sorry I can't think of examples right now. The point is, the first thing I do is go and buy a magazine on that subject and most of the time that's as far as it goes. What a sucker! those magazine guys must rely on suckers like me. I've always had 'fads' and stuff. I don't really mind though because there certain 'fads' that have stuck and become something worthwhile, something I enjoy, so I figure that's ok then, It's acceptable eh?

Now I need to shut up and live my live..I wasted like, ten minutes typing this!

Oh, this really got my attention this morning. I needed to read it and it helped me re-focus slightly onto things I should be doing. Thanks Coqui for posting that, thanks Jenn for linking to Coqui, etc, it really is a tangled web we weave..(get it? a tangled web..hahaha..oh, I'm sorry)

"It happens so regularly that it's predictable. The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up. I truly delight in GOD's commands, but it's pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight. Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I least expect it, they take charge,
I've tried everything and nothing helps. I'm at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn't that the real question?
The answer, thank GOD, is that JESUS CHRIST can and does. HE acted to set things right in this life of contradictions where I want to serve GOD with all my heart and mind, but am pulled by the influence of sin to do something totally different."

Romans 7ish
