The Invasion: Phase II:

It is going to happen, whether I am looking forward to it or not. This weekend my cousin and Grandmother are coming down to visit this weekend. I’m not totally opposed to them coming because they are family and I do love them. However, I have had to cram all my stuff into one room to save space else where.

Being the quasi-disorganized person that I am, I haven’t unpacked anything. because I don’t need any of the stuff I have packed. This is kinda good because I leave in exactly 3 weeks so it’s less that I have to gather and worry about.

So I guess I should brace myself for the weekend. I haven’t any major plans, so I guess we’ll play it by ear. I’m probably going to make it my intention to play video games for several hours.

Just Like Your Father:

Ok, this blog is more directed towards guys than girls. My apologies.

Has anyone every made a comment to you about looking, acting, or sounding like your father? I had that happen to me today. A few years ago I had put in about 1000 hours of volunteer time at the local hospital and got to know a group of older ladies that helped out as well.

When I went down there this morning to pick up some films from the hospital’s radiology department, one came up behind me and said, “I know you. You’re Damien... I remember when you were this small.” As we talked on, she commented, “You talk just like your father.”

Now, I don’t know if you feel the same way when you recieve a comment like that, but I felt proud. I think my chest puffed out a little, thinking, “That’s right....just like my dad”. I bet that you know where I’m going with this.

As Christians, we have a heavenly Father. Even if you may feel like your dad here on earth may have hurt you or failed you, Father God never will. You may feel some times that God is not there or that He has failed you, but God works things out for the good of His kids.

If you’ve even felt proud being likened to your earthly father, how much more proud can we be when we ask, look, or talk like our Heavenly Father.
