Sick...

Being sick is lame!  I have a massive test in two days, and a huge paper next week.  Again being sick is lame.  I am reminded of the body of death that we dwell in.   Just a common cold brings the stark awareness of the reality of death.  Lord give me the grace to see through an ailment to see into your promises of rest and peace.

My wife and I recently participated in a relationship enrichment seminar.  Some of the material was new, but mostly it was a chance for us to work through some things.  I am a fan of maintenance, especially preventative maintenance.  That way when problems do arise, it is much less costly.  One thing that we talked about was assertive communication.  This means we actually tell each other what we really want, instead of suggesting it.  This is huge for us, since we both have differing personalities.  This takes both humility and boldness to do it well.  What do you think?

Lasagne

This was my first time making it from scratch.  I must say it tasted good.  It was my wife's recipe, and it only took 3 1/2 hours including baking time!!!  We had company over, and as always it was good to share in peoples lives.  On another note, we got wind that Debra's job may be invaded by a supervisor who is getting invaded.  We shall see.  The Lord is good, so we will be taken care, it just might look different than it did last week.
