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

Day 32 in the Year of Our Lord 2012

The weather was rainy off and on today, so the temps didn't get quite as warm as was predicted earlier in the week (60's vs. 70's).  But still much warmer than the normal for this time of the year.  And, sure enough, I saw clumps of green at the church where the flowers are coming up already!   I'm thinking the close up is of daffodils.





Today's decluttering items is a "Silly Slammer Design #21 Admin Assistant" that my good friend, Susie, got for each of the girls one year for Christmas when I worked at the power plant in WV.  They are hilarious.  As the name suggests, you slam these down on the desk to hear them say one of 3 possibilities:  "You're Welcome" in a sing-song way, "You want it when?"  and last, but not least "HAHAHA!  That's a good one!"

The funniest one, however, was the one Susie gave to Richard, our Supervisor.  It was the head of a bald guy with a scowling face and he said, "I need it NOOOOOOOWWWWW!" and "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!" and "YOU'RE FIRED!!"  When we went into his office, we picked it up and threw it down on his desk!  He would just grin!  Once in a while, when he would give us an order someone would throw their girl down and it was just too funny at the comeback!

So, while I definitely DON'T miss the job, we did have some fun!  But, I have no reason to keep this little gem any longer, so off to the thrift she goes for someone else to enjoy!


Until tomorrow.................
