Losing my best friend.......

As most of my readers know, Lois and I have been pretty much inseparable for the past 2 years or so. Well.... Not so much anymore. She has a new boyfriend, moved into an apartment (shared by above boyfriend who is also married, and filing for divorce.), filed for divorce, LEAVING her 10 year old son with his dad, and pretty much kicked me out of her life.

Standing back and watching her mess her and her son's life up tears my heart out. Seeing how she's abandoning her son hurts worse than her never having time to hang out with me. It does seem odd never hanging out at Ihop or starbucks (Which we haven't been to since before Christmas).

I've had MANY sleepless nights praying and crying that she will open her eyes and see the damage she is doing to her poor son. I've given her over to God, but I'm NOT giving up on her.

Something to think about.

So today I was reading Matthew chapter 12 and came across these verses.... 36-37 But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.(NIV)
So it really made me think. How many times have I said something carelessly? In teasing? In frustration? In *gulp* anger? How many people have I hurt, and they never told me? How many loved ones are carrying that hurt with them? I think it's time to let that go. So...........

This is turning out to be the hardest post I've ever written, but I NEED to do this....

This is for all family and friends.......... If I have EVER said or done ANYTHING to hurt you, past or recent, I apologize, and please forgive me. I need to know there aren't ANY hurt feeling between us. If there is, let's talk about it, and let's build a stronger relationship..

Whew...A public apology, isn't easy to do....

A favor......

Ashley made the suggestion I think around Christmas, about joining an online dating service. I just laughed it off as being completely crazy, and forgot all about it.. I forgot about it until Lois suggested the same thing a couple weeks ago.

Well, I started thinking, and maybe it's not so crazy after all, or maybe just MAYBE I could use some spontaneous, off the wall craziness in my life. Maybe my boring life needs a little excitement.

So, I found a FREE Christian site, and put up a profile. However, I've already been asked for a pic. Well, OBVIOUSLY I don't have any pictures of MYSELF.
So this is where you, my dear blog readers come in. If you have one or two good pictures could you email them to me?? I would really appreciate it.
Now back to my boring unexciting life.

Alien Invasion

I know I've been gone for a while. Life has thrown me a curveball. I bought a new computer and yes it's hooked up. Only problem is I have to rewire my phone line from the box into the house. Fun fun.

I knew I was going to have a week off this past week and though "GREAT I can rewire my phone lines." UH......... WRONG..... Got some HORRIBLE news last wed....

Most people that know me know that's I'm a really private person. I never invite people over, and I keep to myself. I have a "phobia" about people coming into my house. Mainly cause I feel my house isn't "clean" enough. So you can't imagine how I felt when my mom called me up Wed night and read a newspaper article to me. The town board of where I live has ok'd the water company guys to inspect the INSIDE of EVERY HOUSE in town for sump pumps. If you refuse to let them in, you're fined. So, I'm thinking isn't this against the law? Are they ALLOWED to just force their way into people's homes and search?? Can they really fine you for refusing??? At this point I'm more angry than anything.

What's your take on strangers forcing their way into your home??
