BREAKING THROUGH THE WALL
Today at work I was thinking about my boss.  No I do not think about my boss that much save that he is a godly man and blessed indeed.  During break the other day he came in and told us about how he is going to China soon to meet with the manager of a factory who will be producing some corbels for him.  He's been studying up on business styles in China and learned that it is customary to exchange gifts at the conclusion of the arrangement so Leon is planning on giving him a gold digging kit and a book that explains the gospel.  Leon plans on giving it to him to read so that the manager can learn Leon's values and standards in his business decisions and personal life.  He has traveled frequently to many different countries on business trips.

Its always a blessing to see God use people mightily for His Kingdom.  Sometimes I get easily frustrated and wonder what God is doing in my life.  It seems like He moves slower than molasses around me while others he just *poofs* instantly changes and uses mightily.  So today I was wondering if there was anything in my life blocking God.  I am still pondering different areas and nothing concrete has jumped out waving red flags.  In the end, I hope that the purpose of my life  is to be more than just a warning to others.

If there was something, not sin, hindering  your walk, would you sacrifice it?  What is it?  Where is the line between spirit of the law versus letter (legalism)?

TIME FOR A COKE BREAK
Three people arrested for trying to steal the recipe for Coca-Cola and sell them to rival Pepsi, their first court appearance is on Thursday (for the full story go here).  In Atlanta that's worthy of the death penalty. 

BTW, for the record, I still believe Timmy Rhodes will start a chapter of the Lambda Lambda Lambda fraternity at TFC.

HAPPY 4TH TO YOU
A wise man once said, "Celebrate the independance of your country by blowing up a small part of it."  Ahh good Apu. Happy July 4th to everyone, especially our Northern neighbors who have not attempted to have thrown off the complete yoke of British Imperialism yet.  Sometime today I will cross the state line and purchase some small arms fireworks.  Freedom is good

A day off work is always a welcome thing, being able to sleep in until
10 and enjoying breakfast in bed (which consisted of homemade waffles
with peanut butter and syrup).  My wife is the best. Things at the apartment are going well, except for a leaky airconditioning and the dry wall in our bathroom needing repair and threat of ceailing falling in any second... Rachel and I have decided to stay (after we get renter's insurance).

HAIKU FRIDAY RETURNS!!!

  
He looks vaguely familiar

Yep, Rach and I trecked over to Habersham Hills Cinema to watch the movie in comfort unlike we would have at the Toccoa Cinemas *shudder*, it was really cool to see Cyclops in the movie.  I mean I wondered what happened to him in X-Men 3 but he simply a job working at the Daily Planet as an editor.  Way to climb that corporate ladder there, Slim!  One thing that kept wondering why he was not wearing his visor I was waiting for his optic blast to accidently decapitate poor Jimmy Olsen.

 
Jean-Lois?  Lois-Jean?

OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES
I had one of those "awww" moments today.  Eleven year old Rachel Garside came up to me after church this morning and asked me how our honeymoon went.  I spent considerable time recounting our adventure through Gatlinburg and the countless number of Coke Floats we made.  I have known Rachel ever since a missions trip to Belgium and France with her father several years ago.  She's growing up so fast.  When Rach and I were leaving she said she was praying that we would live happily ever after.  If that does not make your heart melt, you are a stone-cold mutha... like this guy.

YEP, SHE'S A HOTTIE...

WEDDING BELLE
I have moved to Toccoa and started my new job at Osborne, its been good, the people are quality (Mr. Osborne only wants quality people).  My friends, less than a week until Rachel and I exchange vows.  So far this week (besides work) has been invested in setting up the apartment.  BTW, no news on the lantern, because I have not posted it for sale yet... I checked ebay and found someone selling an identical lamp but nobody was bidding on it... bummer.  Here's to finding something cheap and making millions.  G'night.

JOCKEYING FOR POSITION
Several days ago this show came one and its about people traveling to flea markets and try to sell stuff on eBay and I thought, why not?  So yesterday, Rachel and I took off for the Jockey Lot,
one of the South's largest flea markets, we did not make it until 3pm
so many of the vendors had already left.  However I did find this
really cool Chinese lantern
