So another crazy week comes to an end…one overflowing with the joys and trials of work…and one in which I was reminded evermore of the goodness of our Lord. Ah how gracious is He to us – to provide us with such good things! I have been blessed with such sweet friends here in Scotland…and my God is always with me.

And now, my hastily cobbled together dinner is almost ready(I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to eat, so I ended up with chicken, pasta, romano cheese, onions, tomatoes, tomato sauce, green olives and lots of basil in a pan in the oven…now time to top it with mozzarella and see how delicious this experiment turns out…)

Farewell, all.

Grace and peace.

Hamburgers and green beans sizzling away in the frying pan, baked potatoes in the oven. Dinner is upon me, oh yes. Delicious food and a warm flat and a comfy couch to sit on. I cannot complain.

And as I sit here this Sunday evening, I ponder the majesty and glory of God. And I worship.

HOUSTON, what!

That’s right, I’m now working full time with Cameron and living in my own apartment and a thousand miles away from most of my friends. Is this what “real life” is all about???

Two things I’ve learned about Houston that I shall kindly pass along:

Number 1: It is hot here. Very very hot. So hot that in the thirty seconds it takes for me to get into my car and drive, I get a lovely sheen of sweat on my face. I used to think Florida was just as hot. I was wrong.

Number 2: There are some sweet(and by sweet I mean insane) road systems in Houston. Driving the beltway in the morning really reminds me that I’m ALIVE, blood pumping through my veins and cars roaring by. You most definitely have to be on your game to drive in Houston!!

And before you all get the wrong idea, I really do enjoy Houston. I’ve already found an awesome church(Baptist Church of the Redeemer!) and I’ve had some good times hanging out with my work people!

But hey, I still miss y’all. A lot.

Oh and one more note…just got my first ever digital camera…arrived today!! I haven’t opened it yet – been whetting my anticipation by waiting all night. So expect for me to have some pictures of H-Town soon!!

Oh and one more random story that was almost tragic but ended up in a rather delicious manner…last night I was making some chicken parmesan (first epic meal in the new place!) when a giant thunderstorm attacked my neighborhood…the lightning and thunder was nonstop and I was just a tad nervous. Still, I was just minding my own business frying chicken when the power went out. Power being out meant that my stove did not work which meant that I could not finish my meal! Thankfully…within about 20 minutes the power came back on and I completed my dinner and ate it…albeit at around 10:30 at night. And it WAS delicious.

And now…I’m off. I think ’tis time to play with my new camera.
