Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

August 20, 2009

I HATE surprises! Well, earlier this week, I asked DH if he had any plans for his day off this week. He said, "Yes. I want to go to lunch in Greensboro." I said, "Where?" He said, "It's a surprise!" I couldn't trick it out of him, either, by nonchalantly asking, "What's the name of that restaurant again?" He wouldn't fall for it! Anyway, it was a nice surprise after we got there and he pointed out the Cincinnati Style Chili on the menu! "Cool!" I believe is what I said! What a guy my DH is!

I blended my picture into the green bg from Amanda's kit. Also, I duplicated the picture and erased all but a few spots of color from the flowers in front of the deli and left the sign and a little bit of the trees above and the bush on the left of the sign.

Was it good? Does the restaurant owner come from Cincinnati?

I've eaten in Greensboro many times but I never knew there was someplace there that had the chili on the menu. Good to know.

(Are you a Skyline or a Gold Star gal?)
