While at church this evening, something was mentioned that, although very basic to Christianity, is amazing to think about.
Consider that God is eternal. . . that means not only that God lives in the past, but that He also lives in the future. . . simultaneously. Absolutely amazing! I don't know anything about tomorrow, except that God is already there working in my life. He doesn't just know what is going to happen to me tomorrow, but because he is not subject to time, He is already there, with me, walking beside me helping me though the day, week, month, etc.
I cannot completely wrap my mind around the fact that He can do that, but it brings a peace and comfort that is just amazing.
Isn't it great to be a born again Christian!?

Hauling lumber with a 6' pickup bed
This is not an easy feat! Try several 16' 2x6's.
I believe there were 12 of the 2x6x16's, and 8 sheets of 1/2" particle board. There were no apparent weight issues, but the length was a completely different story!
My Dog (Even though I don't have one)
Sandra and I were visiting a church today, and were invited to lunch at a member's house, which was a blessing, and while we were there, they printed this off and gave it to us. I thought you might enjoy!
My dog sleeps about 20 hrs a day.
She has her food prepared for her.
She can eat whatever she wants, whenever she wants.
Her meals are provided at no cost to her.
She visits the Dr. once a year for her checkup, and again during the year if any medical needs arise.
For this she pays nothing, and nothing is required of her.
She lives in a nice neighborhood, in a house that is much larger than she needs, but she is not required to do any upkeep.
If she makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.
She has her choice of luxurious places to sleep.
She receives those accommodations absolutely free.
She is living like royalty, and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever.
All of her living costs are picked up by others who go out and earn a living every day.
I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick in the head, Holy Smokes,
My dog is a democrat!
Hope you enjoyed that!
She may have even been able to run for president!

Cool Water Pump!
I now drive a 2005 GMC Canyon, and love it! Of course, it is a big change from the '03 Silverado 2500 that I was driving. Trying to get used to a smaller bed with less capacity has been a challenge to say the least. You should have seen me trying to carry a truckload of 2x6x16's the other day down the NW Expressway here in OKC! Redneck to say the least!
Well, my water pump started to leak the other day, and was making some pretty rough noises, so I went and got the $50 water pump, and decided to change it on Friday evening. The water pump is completely different from any I have ever seen. . . of course, the truck is a little different too. It has a 3.5L inline 5 with plenty of get up and go. The water pump was about 7" from front to back with a diameter of about 4". There were no inlet and outlet connections, which I thought was very odd, but rather, the impeller is out in the open, and it appears that the impeller uses the actual engine to direct where the coolant goes. It was pretty cool. The only downside was the fan nut, which is a 36mm nut, which only has room for an extremely thin wrench to get in to break it loose. The Auto Parts stores sell a special wrench to be able to do this, but they only want about $60 for it. More than the water pump. . .really GM? I'd never use it again, so I spent about 3 hrs trying to get that stupid nut broke loose! I got it, and it cost me nothing, but a little bit of time. Overall, it was a pretty simple job. Much easier than I would have expected, and definitely much easier than other water pumps that I have replaced!

Surprise!
Well now!
A good friend of mine just called me yesterday, and told me that he found my blog! Well. . . I had pretty much completely forgotten about it until he called me! Thanks, Bob! It took me a couple of hours to figure out what my username and password were, and it is taking me forever to type out this post! Sandra and I don't have internet at the house, so it is on my phone. Any posts will be pretty short until we get a keyboard that I can use with my phone.
