vi January mmviii

I've been reading "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers for a daily devotional. It is an old copy of my mom's that i found on her shelves of endless books. It says on the cover "the golden book of Oswald Chambers" and i already agree with that after just six days. each day is a little golden treasure of insight and wisdom, bringing you closer to the Holy Spirit living inside. i think to really get to the depths of it all, i will need to spend time meditating on his words. Yet, i have not disciplined myself to that point. i am too quick to read and assess and move on. taking the time to appreciate and internalize is something i value and aspire to, but is a great challenge to my mind at the moment. one thing i have had to do is to refresh my memory of Roman Numerals, since he uses them for his scripture reference. i think he is challenging our modern day minds just a bit becuz only the chapter is in roman numeral, for example: Psalm xcvii 2. can you remember what that would be?

so i am fighting with a cold right now, it has a grasp upon my throat but i refuse for it to travel elsewhere!! but most likely it will win and i will be like all the other red-nosed, groggy sufferers. if only i could isolate myself from all human beings during the cold/flu season. i blame it all on my co-worker, Bess. (someones got to take the blame) right when i was getting motivated to try out new recipes and such, i get sick and have limited energy to expel. such is always the case! at least i have a good book to curl up with (A Thousand Splendid Suns) and some great Korean green tea with brown rice!
