Jesus said,

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.


Matthew 6:33

Off to D.C.

Well, I'm off to Washington D.C. at 6:00 in the morning tomorrow. I am going to the Board Meeting for the organization I work for. This meeting is the reason I have not posted much, if anything really, in the past month. It will be my first trip to D.C., so I'm really looking forward to it. I got so excited about it, I invited my mom. She's coming. Crazy, eh? :-)

I'll be back home on Monday.

Peace and blessings to all of you while I'm gone.

The Good Place of Confession

Job 42

Job's Confession
1Then Job answered the LORD and said,
2"I know that You can do all things,
And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.
3'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?'
"Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand,
Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know."
4'Hear, now, and I will speak;
I will ask You, and You instruct me.'
5"I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear;
But now my eye sees You;
6Therefore I retract,
And I repent in dust and ashes."

God Restores Job's Fortunes
10The LORD restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the LORD increased all that Job had twofold.
11Then all his brothers and all his sisters and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversities that the LORD had brought on him. And each one gave him one piece of money, and each a ring of gold.

12The LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and 1,000 yoke of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys.

13He had seven sons and three daughters.

14He named the first Jemimah, and the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch.

15In all the land no women were found so fair as Job's daughters; and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.

16After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations.

17And Job died, an old man and full of days

Well, that explains it.

There! I've done it - explained the reason why I have entitled this Blog "At Random." I haven't posted in 21 days. I knew that I would post randomly, so I just thought I'd come right out and say it.

So, I've got a confession to make. I was in the lunchroom this morning, wanting to get my coffee, but it was out. No problem - anyone can brew it and I have before. I opened up the drawer where they keep the coffee and noticed that somebody left a package half full and nicely folded in the drawer. I was immediately reminded of a blog post by a one Michael H.G. not too long ago entitled "Your Regular Old Pot of Coffee Just Got Better" in which he describes how he and a co-worker realized that the key to changing their work-place-coffee from mediocre to good simply meant adding two more scoops of grounds. I took the liberty of putting the normal amount in, then adding the rest of the other bag. The brew was very strong, but oh so good! Thanks Mike! ;-)

(I didn't stick around to see what any co-workers, thought... probably best.)

I'd like to tell you that it made me all jittery, etc. but it just isn't so.
