What was your day like?

[edeline]

My day was a very nice day though the weather was not good.Raining anytime..

Just missing someone beside me..huhuhu

[Edwin]

Yes, it really pays to be honest and to acknowledge God always in all we do.

Until now i am still here in the hospital

How is your sister doing by now? I am praying.

[crisipicada]

Yes, thanks be to God she is out of the hospital now. Though it is so expensive there at least there is someone can lend to.

She is not at the barrio with my mama and taking rest.

Today I am so busy, just finish preparing the month end report for fire code fees collection and deposits. It is so hard to consolidate report I am so tired.

After work today i will go home as usual. I will enroll in driving lesson tomorrow and I hope i will be accepted. It is a must for us to learn especially during fire alarm so i need to learn hehhehhehe

[Edwin]

I first drove sitting on my Dad's lap. I drove on both sides of the rode and in the ditch part of the time. It was our road and our car, so my Dad didn't care. He was having fun too. I didn't turn the steering wheel on the tractor fast enough because I was little and not that strong, so I took out a whole row of fence post with a tractor. My older brother was having me drive and he let the tractor go too fast for me. When I got to the barn I couldn't put on the brake hard enough so I ran into a feed rack for the cows. It didn't hurt anything, except it threw me up against the steering wheel and hurt my chest, but I was not injured, just in a little pain, and I got over it quickly. I used to take our 1947 Ford pickup for pleasure runs from one end of the highway to the other. My Mother said that she was concerned that I might be burning too much gasoline doing that, but it was really okay, as long as I didn't go on the highway. I think I was 12 at the time, and having lots of fun. By the time I was 16 I knew how to drive really well, but I ran a stop sign when I went in to take my test, so I went back a week later and got my driving license. I have a CDL to drive commercially which I did for a number of years. I have a motorcycle endorsement to ride any size motor cycle. I also have a pilot's license to pilot airplanes, but I have not done that in many years.

I had a nice day and as usual God is so good to me. Meeting a co teacher of mine was a coincidence and it was fun chatting to him about classes that I used to handle before.

[Edwin]

This song was just going through my head!

Each day I’ll do a golden deed,
By helping those who are in need,
My life on earth is but a span,
And so I’ll do the best I can,
The best I can.


Life’s evening sun is sinking low,
A few more days and I must go
To meet the deeds that I have done,
Where there will be no setting sun.


To be a child of God each day,
My light must shine along the way;
I’ll sing His praise while ages roll
And strive to help some troubled soul,
Some troubled soul.


Life’s evening sun is sinking low,
A few more days and I must go
To meet the deeds that I have done,
Where there will be no setting sun.


The only life that will endure,
Is one that’s kind and good and pure;
And so for God I’ll take my stand,
Each day I’ll lend a helping hand,
A helping hand.


Life’s evening sun is sinking low,
A few more days and I must go
To meet the deeds that I have done,
Where there will be no setting sun.


I’ll help someone in time of need,
And journey on with rapid speed;
I’ll help the sick and poor and weak,
And words of kindness to them speak,
Kind words I’ll speak.


Life’s evening sun is sinking low,
A few more days and I must go
To meet the deeds that I have done,
Where there will be no setting sun.


While going down life’s weary road,
I’ll try to lift some traveler’s load;
I’ll try to turn the night to day,
Make flowers bloom along the way,
The lonely way.


Life’s evening sun is sinking low,
A few more days and I must go
To meet the deeds that I have done,
Where there will be no setting sun.

Today i left home at 6.30am. and arrive at the office at 7.35 am.
Today, i have the chance to witness my officemates while we are sharing about what passage in the Bible we read here.
Each of us was given a cebuano and english Old Testament Bible last week.

I read Mark 13-16, about Christ's crucifixion. my officemate share with us about loving our enemies. the other one share his experience about prayer.
what a wonderful day today to talk about GOD's word.

this afternoon i deposited to the bank the collection on fire codes fees. then back to station at 3.20pm. then writing here.

[Edwin]

I wrote about my day, then the internet went dead, and I lost it all!

I gathered a few things to help me with my job repairing the house in town. I drove down the hill, stopped at the building store to buy some joint compound to fill in holes in the wall.

I went to the house, and worked on the kitchen faucet for a few minutes. I am going to replace it with a new one as it will not stay tight on the sink, but shifts around while you try to use it.

I pulled the broken up part of the door casing off. Then I went back to the building store to buy a 1 by 5 to repair the broken door casing, which I did. Then I hung the the door, and now it is like it used to be.

I ate my lunch really late as I was too busy to stop to eat, which often happens to me while I am working on a project.

I got a call for Carol's brother who had with his filipina wife just landed in Seattle. He told me how tired he was after their long flight. He said that he had a notion to stay at home in the Philippines, but he makes these trips usually once a year. We will be getting together with them in North Seattle this weekend, and it will be fun. I ate some supper, some peanut butter, some honey, and drank some milk, and now it is almost time to go to bed!

[Edwin]

My day started out with all the early morning duties, like washing my face, shaving, getting dressed, drinking my first morning 32 ounces of water, starting up the computer/internet. Then we had a bowl of oatmeal and raisins, completely filled with milk. We put the inside doggies in their kennels so they would behave themselves. They are happy to go in on their own, and they are happy to get out also. We drove to town, close to an hour drive the way I drive, not very fast. The roads are rough, so driving too fast is too hard on the car and tires with the rocks in the road. We drove to the house I have been working on. I put in a new kitchen faucet that had a small leak which I put a bucket under to catch the dripping. That little leak bothered me last night, because I figured I had caused it by putting on a shut off valve too tight. I tinkered with it, but nothing I could do would stop the leak. So as a last resort I took it off, put more tephlon tape on it, and put it back on, then the leaking stopped, and I think I have all the plumbing so it does not leak, but I will be watching it. I put a little more joint compound on some cracks the appeared which it was drying. I had several holes in the house to repair, which I am feeling better about all the time now that they are getting fixed. We then drove to Kentucky fried chicken where I ate one leg and one thigh. I also order potatoes and gravey, as well as baked beans and brought them home to my big dog Scooby. He can smell when we have been to Kentucky Fried Chicken!, and does he ever love the beans, potatoes, and gravey! We then drove to Walmart, bought groceries, dog food, and a razor for me. I have been using the same razor for so many years that I lately have had a hard time buying blades for it, so I broke down and bought a new razor, a turbo one at that!!!!, as well as some extra cartriges. We then headed out of town, stopped at the new Colville Tribal Gasoline station. I went in and looked at the little convinience store after I filled with gasoline. I was amazed at the large walkin cooler they have for beer. It astounded me, partially because I do not drink, and I don't think anyone else should drink either, but very few people agree with me on that, but everyone can have his/her opinion, and that is my opinion. We came home. I played the piano for a little while before we left, and for a little while after we arrived. I then walked my big dog Scoody for 2 hours, after which now I am eating peanut butter, honey, and drinking milk. Tomorrow we will leave to go towards Spokane to pick up our daughter, then go to North Seattle to meet with Carol's brother and filipina wife from the Philippines, as well as his daughter, and that will be a fun reunion. She along wiht her sister decided not to have anything to do with any of us because she didn't approve of her dad marrying a filipina, and moving to the Philippines to live. She has since become a Christian and decided that she should love her dad and all the rest of us, so it is a very happy thing for Carol's brother, his filipina wife, and all of us.
