I've inherited more computer parts to play with, so my two computers that are slated for donation to needy students at the college I graduated from are that much closer to completion. Still need hard drives. I just hope that adding them to the power demand won't over tax the PSU's. Probably ok if it happens again, but preferably only once (I have obtained several as a part of the whole deal of inheriting these parts). This endeavor to learn computer repair/building/upgrading had been one that I feel strongly led to pursue as a means of income and an internationally marketable trade. Praise God for His provisions!
Heard from my mentor in Mexico. He had a LOOOOONG e-mail recording his day-to-day journal about just ordinary things and how much he misses his wife (she is presently staying with their daughter who is dieing of cancer in Guat., Jalisco). But it was well worth reading because at the end, he told how he journied from their house in Petatlan, Gro. all the way to Gaut. so he could surprise his wife on her birthday. She was still asleep when he came into her bedroom and he was holding some roses and singing, "Happy Birthday." He's THE MAN!!! Reminds me of how Christ will come to take His Bride Home: He will come when she least expects it, but He will come with flowers and song, because He loves her. He truly IS the Man!
I've been missing my family in Christ back in Missouri SO badly as of late. I miss their smiles, their friendship, the deep sense of love we have for one another, the Bible studies we did, the volunteer work we did together, and just being around them in general. Well, I was in Oceanside the other day with my mother and the grandparents of my nephew on his biological father's side. We were waiting for a table at Rudy's on the pier when in walked a tall, middle-aged fellow who I thought looked like one of the profs I had back in college. I decided to wait until he gave his name. When he said, "Chris," I called out and said, "Would you like to join us for lunch?" And a reunion ensued. What a blessing!
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things." -Paul to the Philippians (4:8).
