Journal Entry for July 24, 2008 Mood
Thursday, July 24, 2008
       I guess I am really slipping today, It's 2042Z. Sorry about that time I am feeling SILLY today and I just couldn't resist. It's 4:42 PM local. For those who don't know about the first time that put down Z or Zulu time is the clock time in Greenwich England, and it used as standard time by the US military and all air traffic schedules. Some may have heard this time referred to as GMT. It's break time, Jamie is on MSN. She is gone to work on supper so I am back to my journal for now. I am slowly recovering from exhaustion. Even though I ENJOYED every minute of of every service, I know that my this old body can't endure it again. The truth of the scripture that says "the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak, became crystal clear to me last Saturday night. Before the revivals that filled three weeks of my nights when not in service at CornerStone. I had been attending church services five nights a week for quite some time. So I was probably more drained than I was willing to admit, even to myself, before the series of revivals had even begun. I believe that is the closest to complete exhaustion that I have ever come. Even the medication to help me sleep had no effect. I now know that a person can truly be too tired to sleep. Even now I am still feeling the effects of last Saturday night. Hopefully I can recover before Sunday morning. So that my mind can be clear for the morning service. One part of that recovery will be to stick around the house more, which is irritating for me to do. To stay at the house, I must stay out of the house. That will take some explaining, so here goes. The person with whom I share expenses watches only TV shows from the 70's and earlier. I am sorry I lived through that era and I didn't like the shows then and I like them even less now. So any time spent around the house is actually spent here unless I am getting something to eat, taking a shower, or sleeping. During the rare times that I turn my TV on here in the computer shack, I use it more as a radio than a TV. I will listen to it until I hear something that I think deserves my attention then I will watch it for a short while. Except of course when it shuts its self off because it is probably dieing...Smile I can't complain about the little TV it is a 1985 model so it has lasted far beyond most TV's made during that time. Unfortunately the quality of the set that will replace it will be far less. Oh well it doesn't matter I can learn all that I need from visiting the various news websites. I had a chance to replace my TV for $40 and declined. Now I am beginning to regret that decision. For some odd reason I thought the old TV had some life left in it, but apparently it is very little if any. So I guess I will contact the pawn shop that I do business with quite often and have him hold a 19" TV when it comes available. He is the ONLY pawnshop in town that I would trust enough to buy electronics regularly. Well a DS friend has come on MSN and is having rough time so it is break time. They are having a hard time right now and I am trying to provide a shoulder right now. Hopefully the problem will pass quickly for this person. Well I think things are improving, they are apparently worried about an mutal friend. So while she is chatting with the other person I will catch up here. Well that chat is apparently continueing so I will continue with my journal. Today I was able to spend some time talking Jamie and that is always a plus. The plans for the move are progressing and so are my plans to meet her when the move is complete. It is so wonderful that the anticipation of meeting her is being handled by the peace that Jesus placed in my heart in the spring of '06. I am excited about meeting her but it is not overwhelming. It is just a calm desire to finally meet her face to face. If you have read my journals for any length time then you know my feelings for Jamie. This day is almost gone, their are only 40 minutes left in the day. So I will close here. After I finish chatting on on yahoo, I am off to bed..
