TGIF!

Today is my daughter's Birthday. I woke up at 6:00AM and was able to hit the snooze button a couple of times, because I was cleared to come in to work a couple of hours late. After having cupcakes for breakfast and a quick reveal of presents, it was off to school for the kids and work for my wife and me.

Work was busy- which is as expected for this time of year. Lunchtime rolled around and our manager bought Walery's pizza as a celebration for our successful preparation for the 2010 Legislative session. Just prior to lunch, my phone rang. It was a representative for a job I'd recently applied for at the Department of Energy. They wanted to grant me an interview on the third of next month. I was really happy to set up the meeting and thankful that I'd at least heard something- good or bad, about the status of my application. After pushing through another several hours of work, it was quitting time. Ah, Friday evenings! Is anything so grand? There's nothing quite like calling it a week, after working and serving. Staring at a full weekend from this end is a real pleasure.

Hot (and BBQ) wings and more than a couple of leftover cupcakes were on the menu for dinner. I'm certain it wasn't good for me, but it was good! After replaying the day in my mind, all I can say is "Thank you". Thanks be to God, whom allowed the overflow of blessings to overtake me today. Every little thing on it's own would be enough to make me smile, but all of it together makes for a great day. I'd like to take the time, like David often did, to say thanks to our wonderful God!

1 Chronicles 29:13 (New International Version)

Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.

1 Chronicles 29:10-14 (New International Version)

David praised the LORD in the presence of the whole assembly, saying, Praise be to you, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.

Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.

Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.

Good Night
