August 5 update

"How are you thinking?"
"Thinking like a winner."
"How are you feeling?"
"Feeling like a winner."
"Good. That's my girl."
With that, she rode away into winning the penning sport. I love that movie, Every Second Counts. While I am not equestrian by heart, I do enjoy movies with a good story. Especially if it has a good moral that make you think. I like to think, I am sure you all know.
I watch that movie on Thursday evening and then on Friday evening, I was busy reading emails. I sign up for many motivating emails and I got so many that I couldn't hardly keep up! But I have read enough on Friday evening that I got so fired up. I decided to go out and walk.
That's when I got to see hot air balloon up so close. I was fascinated by it, and wonder how much it cost to ride one. I eventually ask someone and they say about $100+. I thought it could be more than that, maybe $500+. But I could be wrong, of course. The reason I thought it would be costly to ride hot air balloons was because I remember John Dale Yoder of New Mexico once told me that hot air balloons cost $60,000.
Unbelievable? Believe it.
That is the famous quote you often see when watching TV shows of Ripley's Believe it or Not.
I love that TV shows, but my love turn into distaste. When I start watching that TV shows, I saw there are few things that reminds me of what Jesus says, "Ye are gods" or in Genesis that shows we are created in the image of God. We are very much like God than any other creatures. But because we are created being, we should not exalt ourselves above God. We must remember that we are very depended on God. However, with that in mind, I enjoy watching TV shows.
But it eventually turn into distaste, because I get to see people doing unnecessary things, enough to gross out the faint-hearted. Like actual crucifixion and be hung by skin of back and fly over the countryside. It is also interesting to notice that people who are willing to hurt themselves are often more slovenly than those who use their common sense.
After all, God does give us a fear of getting hurt. He also give us a need to live. Satan worshippers often violate those attributes.
I see that I didn't get this update done. I could have done it last evening, but I wasn't in mood. Maybe I should be. I did think of forcing myself to do something I am not in mood for, writing updates. After all, I always like to keep everything looking clean, such as keeping draft folder in email empty, so it does bother me to see that my draft folder is not empty. I always check Spam folder and then when I don't see anything worth saving, I delete them forever.
Well, it is more than half hour since I went online, and it is in the morning before I go to work. I always check my devotional emails and motivational emails before going to work, and I always try to limit myself to half hour, so I would have time to pray 15 minutes and eat breakfast. I hate being late, and fortunately, so far, I rarely was late. Like yesterday morning, I almost was late, but I skipped reading emails--and prayer as well. Bummer.
That's when I woke up at 5:30. I always wake up at 4:30, but I was so tired that morning and I went back to sleep...(oops). That morning was rushed, and not only that, I make a big mistake that day. I powdercoat one project all wrong. Now we have to recoat them today. It is said I have done several thousand dollars loss to the company.
Few days went by. Has it been a week? I know I have been so busy. I have so many emails that it is almost impossible for me to catch up. Maybe I should forget about such emails, but I want to read them. When will I ever have time?
Last evening I chatted with Susan on TDD. I didn't have TDD program on my computer anymore, but now I found a website that would do the job just as good without downloading anything. I wonder how well it would work from Belize. I like keeping things online, because that means less clutter for my computer.
That thousands of dollars loss is over and past. Sure the crunch is still there, but we are moving on. It is nice to work for a forgiving people.
Rachel Raber was around in PA last weekend. We got talking about Personality Insights. It is interesting to notice how she seems to keep talking about that personality thing. But it does fire me up, trying to understand people.
I have been thinking of writing a book titled something like The Universal Eternal Truths. I hoped that it would appeal to Bible non-readers, helping people to think that there is more to life than meets the eye.
I turned 31 last Friday. My family insist in seeing me, but I felt kind of bad that they didn't stay around long enough to worth 2 and half hours' drive. But I did warn them that I have many plans last weekend. I finally got them all accomplished, at the expense of insufficient sleep.
I ask Lisa Ciccarelli if she want to go out eat with me, because we didn't see each other for a long time, and we have birthdays close to each other. But it seems like she is busy too. It didn't bother me, but what amuse me is she apologize that she is so busy. We didn't have to eat out until we are not busy, which I feel wouldn't ever happen.
It looks like this month I would be busy every weekend. This Saturday, we talked of taking hike. Next Saturday, there is deaf picnic in Ephrata. August 30 is garlic festival in Pocono. I sure would like to taste that garlic ice cream.
Well, not much else to say at this point. So maybe I should get this email send and going.
