Dear Reader (This is You)

I was quite amused today as I galvanted around my vault department searching the internet, reading emails, reading SOP's, talking, eating... pretty much anything anti-work.

My favorite viewing of the day came from my facebook. As I gazed upon my screen, my glorious facebook title, "Jeremy Potter's Profile", soared above the frivolous text and pictures inferiously lain below. But wait... there's more. In bold, sentence halting parentheses... I held my breath and read the deep impactful words..............................

"(THIS IS YOU)"

STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!!
You mean... I AM THE CHOSEN ONE!?!?!?! THIS PROFILE IS MINE!!!!

I read it again: Jeremy Potter's Profile (This is you)

The picture bearing an oriental, doubled chinned smiles next to a beautiful blonde... the profile labeling every deep, intimate, inspirational "my favorite movies", "favorite quotes", and "job description" entries.... they are all mine!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Well kiss my grits and slap aunt Susan...

Yes, it's true. I have loligagged into the dark temptation and Netherworld of the facebook. I was warned about its addicting power, but I gave no heed. I enjoy it however. I have networked and contacted people whom I have not beheld in years. The random texting on my wall and pictures tagged onto my site make me smile often... one even made me giggle.

In other news:
I bought a used Xbox from my boss today. It was a rather good deal if I could say so myself. I received the unit, 2 controllers, a few games, a headset, and standard componets for $125. Not bad considering a new unit with one controller and one game goes for the retail price of $179. I am quite pleased!
Why such an impulse purchase? Because I want to get good. Good at Halo. Thats right. All this is for the glory of halo. I tire of teens in our youth group gloating delightfully over my digitally dead body 25 times every 15-20 minutes. It has become a passion to become a Halo pro.

God have mercy on my soul.

The church fam has been pretty dispursed over the past month. However, we are so incredibly excited about what God has been doing recently. Over the past month, we have been raising money from current and former church family members alike to pay off the property we have been paying for over the last few years. We are close to pay off, lacking only $4500/ $400 per month. Dale and others have been heading up the fund raising and special contribution operations and have done a magnificent service doing so. After contacting as many as possible, God had moved everyone to contribute a grand total of....

$11,000 dollars!!!!!!!!!!!

UNBLIEVEABLE! God had provided his church in Alvin with almost $7000 more than what we asked for. I was reminded of Jesus feeding the 5000. Not only did God provide what was needed to fill our need, but extra scraps to be collected in the baskets. Money is money, but we are more excited that God answered our prayers with such exuburance and thunder!

We are a blessed people!

How have you been blessed this week? Leave me a note, I wanna know!

Because of the Messiah whom provides,
Potter
