Today's projects

Today I have two projects lined up. One is to install a small fence around my shed so my kids will not go under it. The other is to put the center console back into my Plymouth Neon. Why is it out you may be thinking?

For about 3 months I worked as a rural mail carrier and I used the neon to deliver mail. I sat in the middle of the car and leaned out the window. It is a tough job. A lot tougher than anyone realizes.
Basically when you arrive at your Post Office you start sorting your mail. Each route has a desk and shelves with slots to put the mail into. Each slot matches an address and you have to file your mail into a slot. Depending on the volume of mail this could take 4 or 5 hours. Then you pull the mail down into bundles in the order of your route. Then you load your vehicle and deliver the mail. Some routes use the postal trucks and some require your own which mine did.

I no longer work for the U.S. Postal Service because the hours were to long and I could not consistantly work the days they wanted me to. Though I would recommend the job, it is hard work. The Postal Service is a very professional organization.

As I finish this blog I have finished putting up the fence but the car will have to wait.

Beyond Belief

I gain a lot of spiritual wisdom from Christian music. This is one of my favorites:

Beyond Belief

Words and music by Bob Hartman of Petra
Based on Hebrews 6:1a, Romans 1:17, Philippians 1:6

We're content to pitch our tent
When the glory's evident
Seldom do we know the glory came and went

Moving can seem dangerous
In this stranger's pilgrimage
Knowing that you can't stand still, you cross the bridge

(Chorus)
There's a higher place to go, beyond belief, beyond belief
Where we reach the next plateau, beyond belief, beyond belief
And from faith to faith we grow
Towards the center of the flow
Where He beckons us to go, beyond belief, beyond belief

Leap of faith without a net
Makes us want to hedge our bet
Waters never part until our feet get wet

There's a deeper place to go
Where the road seems hard to hoe
He who has begun this work won't let it go

And it takes so long to see the change
But we look around and it seems so strange

We have come so far but the journey's long
And we once were weak but now we're strong

Happy Independence Day!!

Today we celebrate our independence day, July 4th, fireworks, patriotic songs, picnics, loud noises, flag waving and the like. As well we should celebrate. We have a great deal of freedom in this country thanks to what happen on July 4, 1776. Back then the fireworks were real with real cannons and bullets in the air. On that day the Declaration of Independence was signed; those who signed it were branded as traitors to England and a bounty was put on their heads. Signing that paper could have resulted in their death. Today we can wave our flags, shop at our stores (which I did way too much of today) and shoot rockets into to the sky thanks to men like Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, and others.
Throughout our country's short history there have been many people to thank for perserving our freedom: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr. to name a few--and especially the military who sometimes give up their lives.
Thanks.


Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. --John 15:13
