A Bad Country Western Song

My husband is looking for work.
I broke my toe.
And my dog died.

The makings of a western song....wouldn't you agree. But I heard quote the other day and it made me thinks.
We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same. ~Carlos Castaneda (1925-1998) author, philosopher
I have a choice to make. I can either put work into being miserable or I can put work into being strong. So, I went to church tonight. I actually go to play bass which is always fun. And it was good to be home! It was good to see familiar faces. It was good to visit with them. I choose to put work into being strong. I figure, everyone I know who is miserable is alone. I don't want to be alone.

Jam 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you are involved in various trials,
Jam 1:3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance

As Christie says, and I quote, "JOY, JOY,JOY !!!!!" when things go hinkey. I would say you are going though hinkey stuff.

Small business is being affected by the economy right now and we are not immune to it. Business is slow and we need to pay bills. That pretty much sums it up. He's put his resume in a couple places, now we're just waiting to see what God has got in store. He's closing doors here and there and opening them in other places. We're just trying to "consider it pure joy as we are involved in this trial".
