Saturday Post 473

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4259 steps (sweet I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen too often!); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Faith Honors Him Who It Trusts; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'What Are Your Values? (2) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'He Makes Us New but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-THREE MINUTESonline after getting back home from dinner tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:45am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

After dad exits and shuts the bedroom door, before returning to happy snorings with Pearl, , I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the 
• saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  Cheers,
