My first blog!

Well, I've been really contemplating doing a blog because I really am a person with so much on my mind. Such pressure. There's so much to choose from, family, friends, work, God, church, and just life in general. Where do I begin. These things need to come with instructions! I guess I'll start with work. Wow! Capitol Hill is about to be on lock down. I know its a momentous occasion on many levels, but people really have no clue about the logistics and the costs that go into swearing a President in. Why do we continue to escalate things? Every time we do something in this country it has to be bigger than the last time we did it. I thought that kind of thinking only existed in Texas, where "everything is bigger", except fr the Dallas Cowboys (Yuk). Who am I to talk, my NY Giants were one and done this year.

How about the miracle landing yesterday in New York. Talk about God being there huh? Well some will give credit to the pilot, others to fate, but I know who was with them, God. He always is. I can pretty much guarantee that there were no atheists on the last minute of that flight. I read today that one gentlemen had turned on the GPS feature on his phone so that they could find his body. What a terrible action to have to take! Can you imagine how he felt. Thank God that today we can celebrate the lives of 155 people and not their deaths. After all families are hugging, kissing, and crying out of joy and not out of mourning. That's why we should look at every day just as what it is, a gift from God. I think Paul says it best in: "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation. (2 Corinthians 6:2) I ask you, is today your day of salvation?

Praise God. In the midst of all that is going on...good news after all! Thanks Jesus!
