After a long weekend with the family it is time to go back to work. I'm realizing more and more how much I was addicted to TV after the last couple of days. I found myself thinking about what I was going to watch only to realize that I wasn't really going to watch those shows after all. It's hard sometimes to not have TV to watch so I've been reading. I made it through chapter 4 of Liberty and Tyranny yesterday. I'm also 2 days ahead in my Bible reading plan. Those are good things but, I have to admit I have one guilty pleasure that I did not want to give up under any circumstances. Almost being forced to give it up yesterday because of my phone issues almost upset me. This guilty pleasure is Words With Friends. WWF (as we call it sometimes) is my favorite game of all time. I find it extremely stimulating and I love games that are really close. Of course I love to dominate some people too and I do on many occasions but last night I had an EPIC game with my good buddy Orlando. I had trailed most of the game and within the last 3-5 plays I surpassed him for a brief moment and then he ended up beating me by 5 points. I laughed with joy even though I lost because I love the competition. He's a great player and he's my WWF sensei. Back in the first days of playing the game I learned so much from him and today I can say that because I played with him I rarely lose a game. I have gone some stretches winning 30 or more in a row. He's a good teacher. I have also learned by playing random opponents online. Most of them resign within the first 20 moves now. I think the biggest key to the game is to never give up. Another thing is to learn your vocabulary. One of my own personal rules when I play is not to look up words or to use cheats. Yes, I know no one can see me but the fact of the matter is that cheating is cheating. I would expect someone playing me to go by the same honor code. Studying vocabulary in my off time is something that helps me to get better at WWF and also to be a better communicator, speller, and conversationalist. If you are up for a game look me up: msedino.
Yesterday, I also talked to my friend and pastor about the food pantry/kitchen burden God has put on me. I decided that if there is something that God wants me to do then I should take the first step in trying to move forward with it. We spoke for a few moments about it and hopefully we can talk about logistics soon with some other people at SRC who are also interested in serving others. It is an exciting time for me as we begin the foundation of what I think will be a great ministry.
We had a great time praying last night at Church with our friends and family. Every Monday this month we will be at Church gathering for prayer. I appreciated the fact that people prayed for me last night. I've been dealing with some health related problems and I believe prayer works. I'm glad other people do too!
Have a great day.
