Entry for September 26, 2006Getting Ready For Chicago

The only song that has been going through my head lately is the Blues Brothers "Sweet Home Chicago".  I have never been there, so I am nervously excited.  Nervous because I have to fly - United.  I mean, should I have to worry about a bankrupt airline? 

The only advice I got as far as where to go was to head to the Navy Pier.  Although I doubt I'll be able to see anything.  I'll be at the show all day, and too tired at night.  Oh well.  I just hope to make enough money to poke my head above water.

I always wanted to be in control of my own destiny, such as I am now, but there is something to be said for a steady paycheck.  It also would have been nice if I had had a say in the matter.  Well, if things go well enough, a steady paycheck might finally become a reality.  In the meantime, I just keep doing what I am doing and look towards the day when it will all work out.

Christien, daddy loves you and misses you.  How is school going, mi hijo.  Remember to pay attention in class, and do what the teacher says.  Sweet dreams.

Entry for 9/19, 2006, I'm going to Chicago & Need Help!!!

OK, Here is my first request for comments from anyone.  I'm going to be in Chicago next week for a trade show, and I'd like to know where's the good places to go.  I'm looking for the places the locals know about, not the tourist traps.  The show is the McCormick Place convention center, and we're (my company) is staying in some town called Westmont.  I want to know where some decent places to go eat when we leave the show, and maybe a decent place for  fun.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance for your help.

We're banking a lot on this show.  If all goes well, this could snowball through the holidays.  Well, here's hoping the best will come out of it.

Goodnight Christien.  Daddy loves and misses you.  Que Dios te bendiga.

Sometimes it's hard to come up with something to say.  I miss my son.  It's times like these I wish I go have a redo in my life.  My blast today is from an Ozzy Osbourne song, "Goodbye to Romance".  The only thing I can think to say is "I guess that we'll meet in the end".

Daddy loves an misses you Christien.  My Birthday is exactly 2 months away, and all I want for it is to hear your voice.  I love you mi hijo.

9-16, 2006, a prayer for everyone

Please take a moment to relax your mind and humble your heart to focus on Christ. Allow God to be the only person on your mind while you read this prayer. If we can take the time to read long jokes, stories, etc., we should give the same respect to this prayer. Friends, who pray together, stay together.

   
    Dear Lord, I thank you for this day. I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness.

    Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.

    Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.

    Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. Let me continue to see sin through God's eyes and acknowledge it as evil. And when I sin, let me repent, and confess with my mouth my wrongdoing, and receive the forgiveness of God.

    And when this world closes in on me, let me remember Jesus' example -- to slip away and find a quiet place to pray. It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will.

    Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those who are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those who will delete this without sharing it with others. I pray for those who don't believe. But I thank you that I believe.

    I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met.

    I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly..

    This is my prayer.

    In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Christien, Daddy Loves you and misses you.
