It's now March of 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(how quickly we respond)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But being the universal optimist that I am, I have faith that He is all knowing, and will assume that He knew it would take me nine months to get rolling and so told me nine months early to begin, so that I would be on time to launch in march (and if you believe this bit, there's a bridge you might be interested in too).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you know that the London bridge is actually in Arizona (true)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conceived in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;july&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, birthed nine months later in march ..&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;hummm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, this is obviously not a recount of my time with the Lord today, which was actually eaten alive by the time change from daylight savings, and which was later spent on a walk with my pastor, but it's a brief explanation of why there aren't 270 previous postings here to peruse. The more notable times with the Lord over the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;last&lt;/span&gt; nine months will of course need to be 'relived' and I will no doubt be the better for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The walk with my pastor was fruitful and even yielded some decent Italian food afterwards, which was made even better by the surprise of my daughter &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Nikki&lt;/span&gt; and grandson &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Manny&lt;/span&gt; who showed up just in time for pizza, lasagna, and spaghetti&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rachel called this morning from York &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;England&lt;/span&gt; (bible school) and we talked &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;unhurriedly&lt;/span&gt; about nothing &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;in particular&lt;/span&gt; - just being  together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God is here with me and he says hi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4798140448266907891-6889953395098906486?l=being-as-communion.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://being-as-communion.blogspot.com/feeds/6889953395098906486/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://being-as-communion.blogspot.com/2009/03/in-july-of-2008-lord-told-me-to-start.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4798140448266907891/posts/default/6889953395098906486'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4798140448266907891/posts/default/6889953395098906486'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://being-as-communion.blogspot.com/2009/03/in-july-of-2008-lord-told-me-to-start.html' title='Nine Months'/><author><name>In Pursuit of His Heart</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06186758128795377878</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='25' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_L3daPW_KnnI/Sbca95gSW1I/AAAAAAAAAAU/ShiLA3LzY4A/S220/The_Cross.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
