The hand of God

It would surprise allot of people to know that I believe that the hand of God is firmly in our lives.
I have always stood apart and believed that I am in control, I am aware and see the things operating around me. I plan, I prepare, I control.
I cannot now deny nor turn away from how this has all come to pass.
With all that has happened in such a short period of time.
To be where we are now, today, full of such joy and love.
Yes, we still have things to worked out.
Issues to be resolved.
The core still is our Love for one another.
The Love that has risen above all hurt.
My heart is brimming with feelings.
Our miracle within you is a reflection of Gods love for us.
It is a sign of the direction laid out before us.
To be together, to be a family.
The road to here has been full of twists and turns.
Those turns have brought me to the other side of hurt.
The other side of selfishness.
My own way of seeing things is re-focused.
I can see what lays before us.
Not of my doing, nor my control.
I release this journey of ours the Gods will.
My heart open, my eyes wide and my ears ready.
For you are going to be a fantastic mother.
Bringing to a life the Love that you have.
I am supported and strengthened by God to
be the Husband that you deserve.
This child of ours will share in the warmth and Love and caring that we have.
The how, the why, the hurt of our journey to having a baby is behind us.
We are moving forward, forward hand in hand.
Aware of the power of God.
Aware that where we are now is meant to be as it is.
Past the pain and ill feelings. Past the pettiness. Past mis-communications,
the missed signals, the assumptions the self doubting. Past the selfishness.
I am to commit ed to this journey, my Love, my Wife.
I am committed to you.
Cant' we have 4 more?

Come on ... Face it ! There is no one better qualified to be the next president. Make him be the next one, he should have to clean up his own mess. Whoever follows this guy has a tough road ahead. All that he has done, all that we have let him do. We will be 20 years recovering, if we can. I am thinking that the next president is just taking one for the team. A cleaner. Or, more like a janitor.
Just around the corner.

Joost - My 1st Impression
I got my invitation to Joost Friday morning at work. During lunch, I shot home to download and install. ( yes, I was a little excited)
I am located right in the center of Georgia, a small town. ( We are getting our 1st Starbucks next month ) Installed with no trouble at all. It is installed on my Sony Vaio Desktop, 3 ghz, 1 gig of ram, running Win XP. I have a cable modem (ISP: COX) kicking the internet in at 7k.
My purpose is to actually "use" Joost. I have a cable modem, but no cable TV ! We get TV from our rabbit ears, 6 channels. We do not watch much TV, just the news and Survivor. Mostly PBS when we do sit in front of the glowing box. We spend allot of time doing other things...
My wife took little interest, ho hum. (She was not impressed by Ubuntu either) As long as she can surf, she's happy.
Overall, Very Impressive.
The navigation is intuitive, easy to pick up. A great channel selection. I enjoy documentaries and there are plenty to choose from.
I spent an hour watching a deep sea diving doc. Picture was perfect, sound was great. There was no lags or jumps.
There are commercials, short and sweet. A total of 3 during an hour. There are some 'brought to you by' 10 sec screens before music vids.
My wife watched 'Rehearsals' for a good while. Bands jamming and playing in the studio. Actually had to search and download a band, "Jupiter Rising". So, you get exposure to a wide scope of global programing.
There is a lot of "on demand" programming. Indi movies and short comedy or sports programs.
I found I could still use the computer to surf while Joost played. Surfing, checking email ect with no problems or annoyances.
Built in are some widgets, a chat box to talk to other viewers watching the same program. An RSS reader, which I have not set up yet.
The program guide is a little busy. Probably because you are expecting something like a time and channel scroll. Took just a short time to get accustomed to it and now it is no trouble.
As I went to bed, I selected "Comedy Centrals" channel and just let it play while I slept. Got up, still running, no hangs during the night.
In closing, Joost delivered to my end of the swamp, a great product, easy to use and with content I enjoyed.
