if you're not close, guess who moved?
my hott weekend plans for the three-day weekend are dwindling. and i'm happy with that. i have so much i need to get done that has simply been overlooked the last few weekends due to various roadtrips and/or friends visiting and/or wedding things. so i think a three day weekend on my own will be glorious. i am in need of something to recharge my faithlife and i believe this will be the ticket. what better way to spend time at the pool between cool dips than catching up on my Bible study?
i was thinking last night as i was going through my devotional that i have felt that detachment from God that often comes when i shift my focus. as my old college roomie used to say, "if you don't feel close to God, guess who moved?"
he doesn't change despite our best efforts to change Him or His character. reassuring and refreshing, yes? how i wish i could say i was a friend as consistent as that.
moving on, then ... my eye appointment is today. i am quite remiss in that i haven't updated my glasses prescription in 8 years. contacts? not my friends, either. my eyes are too sensitive it seems and they see them as what they are: foreign objects. nothing kills a moment like spewing contacts from one's eyes, you know.
at any rate, here's hoping my eye doctor tells me my vision still isn't so bad and doesn't chastise me for lack of wearing my glasses. i mean, i can see in everyday life, i just can't read things from afar so well. after today, a new prescription and some funky glasses shall await me. good thing stevie b still works at lenscrafters™ and will give me the hook-up on some good deals.
also, since i'm leaving work early, i'm treating myself to going to see dogville today. i heard crippity-crap reviews about it though. good thing i don't listen to the critics much (although i could be regretting that after this afternoon)...

james 1:17 - every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
