Currently Listening For The Love Of The Game By Pillar TURN IT UP see related

Current mood: adventurous

wow. Talk about unprepared! About a two weeks ago me and Jessica got our new computer delivered. OH HAPPY DAY!!!! (unfortunately I am currently cheating on said computer by being with another computer at work) Well, in order to highten our entertainment fullfillment experience we decided to go out and check out the computer games. You know, a little RPG type SIMSish game for her and the blood and guts for me! However, we could find nothing that could satisfy the both of us. We tried here. We tried there. We tried over there. Then we tried over here. No luck. Well, about midway through our trek to the last place on our list (the aforementioned "Over Here") something odd happened.

First, a tiny bit of backstory. The news had been calling for a terrible rain to come and slather us all in heavenly wetness.

(What? I told you it would be a tiny bit of backstory! Quit scowling and keep reading.) 

So I was dressed in some jeans that provided no particular protection except that against the dread Pirate Nudity. Also a T-shirt was draped across my once wiry but now top heavy frame. (And the next time some wit asks me "Oh! So how’s the baby?!" I am going to reply "Great! With a little butter and salt it went down easy!!!") As we stepped outside we noticed two things that are fairly noticeable without the help of a weather man.

1. It had begun to rain.
This was expected.

2. It was freezing mist being blown by freezing wind.
This was unexpected.

But there was nothing to be done but either stand there and get drenched in the onslaught, or RUN INSIDE OVER THERE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!!!! We opted for the second option. Here is the brief and pitifully simple point for this long story...

Wait for it.....

Be prepared for anything. I don’t just mean weather wise, but I mean, you know, life wise. Anything can happen at any given moment and if we aren’t expecting it...we could be left out in the proverbial cold! Read up in your bible if you aren’t already, pray up in the morning if you aren’t already! Put on the WHOLE armor of God EACH DAY if you aren’t already! We are up against a sneaky enemy. He will attack at any given moment on any given day to achieve his main directive. Steal from you. Kill you . Destroy you. This is what he does. Now, we must also be prepared for anything because it may not always be an attack from the enemy, we may be going through something because God wants us to learn something....just always be ready for anything and you won’t be stuck out in the freezing rain!

cool quotable ending line.
