Next week
Things may be a little quiet from me next week. On Monday I head into Court for my Jury service. If I am selected then there is the possibility that I'll be there all week. If not then I'll be back at work and in front of my computer on Tuesday morning! I hope I am picked, and not just so I get a week off work. It'll be rather interesting. I'll post about the experience when I'm back.
Friend Count
So my friend count is up to 21 now on myspace!! woohoo! Funniest thing is though that I only know 9 of these people! The rest are either bands or singers! All a bit of fun isn't it.

MySpace
The MySpace craze is pretty much sweeping the globe! I'm sure that everyone knows someone who has a 'Space' of their own. I must admit I have one, and I'm slowly learning how to use it and make it look cool. Unlike Blogging, MySpace seems to be mostly about having friends or making them and chatting. There is a place where you can blog or journal though. I'd much rather do that stuff here cause even though there is public access on both I feel a bit more annonomys (sp*) on here.
I'm a bit of a follower and only got one because people were talking about it and I wanted to know what it was all about. Some people on the other hand are making a stand and not joining in just because.
Like with Blogger it took me a while to figure things out, even the simplest things like adding a photo! Today I have just managed to change my background! Its now a pretty beach! I found heaps of cool backgrounds so I'll probably end up changing it every now and again. It's much easier than I thought it would be.

Oops!
Looks like I got a little carried away with the funny quizzes. There were so many different ones. I think I'll post a proper blog at lunch time.

Small Things
Sometimes at work everyday feels the same, so sometimes it's the small things that really make a difference. Things like, a sincerely grateful patient. Cute little kids in glasses. Getting funny emails. My favourite patient coming in!!! Which he happened to do yesterday! He is such a nice guy, always in a good mood, always smiling and ready to stop and have a chat. Yesterday he even made fun of me for being cold (yes even inside with 2 heaters going).
I suppose it's one good thing about this job. Heaps of the patients come in so often that you kind of get to know them by name and face and even by voice over the phone.

Thank you!
This is a public thank you to clever Izak! He helped me with the tricky HTML stuff so I could do a few extra things on my blog.
Here's your moment of fame Izak - stand up and take a bow!! :D

Winter Weather
I can't believe how beautiful the weather was over the weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday had clear blue skies, sunshine and not a lot of wind, today is much the same. Sure it's still pretty chilly, but... NO RAIN!! A wonderful thing indeed!
There was only one downfall, this morning my car was covered in a nice layer of ice!! I was madly scraping the ice off and ended up tipping a milk bottle full of hot water over my windows to get it off. There were even little icicles (*sp) all over the roof. The outside temperature switch in my car said it was 2 degrees and that was 8.15am this morning. By the time I was at work the temperature had trebbled!

All I'm going to say is that I work with some really really screwy people!! It's been a weird couple of weeks with them!! And a very weird afternoon!
'Only Hope' by Mandy Moore and Switchfoot
There's a song thats inside of my soul.
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again.
I'm awake in the infinite cold,
but you sing to me over and over and over again.
So I lay my head back down,
And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours.
I pray to be only yours.
I know now you're my only hope.
Sing to me the song of the stars.
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again.
When it feels like my dreams are so far,
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again.
I give you my apathy. I'm giving you all of me.
I want your symphony. Singing in all that I am.
At the top of my lungs, I'm giving it back.
This was one of the main songs in the movie 'A Walk to Remember'. Bex loaned me the DVD and I sat in bed and watched it last night. The song sounded so familiar and it took me a while to figure out where I'd heard it before. I thought at first maybe Sharee had sung it for an item in church, eventually I realised that some people did it in the talent quest at HM Rage. I think they actually won one of the categories. It's such a beautiful song. I replayed the chapter of the movie when Mandy Moore's character sings it like 4 times!!

Interested
I am one of those people that reads random blogs occasionally. Some of them I find really interesting so go back every now and again. I have never commented on any though. I'm interested if there are any readers of my blog. I know it isn't that interesting, but if there is anyone out there leave a comment on this post. You don't even have to put your name to it if you don't want to. I'm just interested!!
Glory
In Chris' sermon on the end of Romans at InCite a couple of weeks ago he brought up God's glory. One of the discussion questions asked how glory is defined.
In our group we found it easy enough to think of examples of God's glory and what God's glory is greater or more 'glorious' than. But as far as actually defining it.... tricky.
We were text talking about it last night and both resorted to a dictionary...
Glory - Something that brings honour or praise. To be exalted. Splendor. Radiant beauty.
'Radiant beauty', I like that. When I thought about it, I described glory as a presence. Which sounds cheesy, but kinda works.
God's Glory is a demonstration of who He is - by His might, wisdom, holiness, creation, mercy and His grace.
When you put God into the equation the word Glory has quite a strong meaning. When you see it in that context, it is hard to justify using the word glory to describe anything less.
Like Chris said to me when you contrast God's glory with ours ... it certainly puts things into perspective doens't it.

Summer Holiday
Yes, I know both of these photos are rather old and pinched from Elli, but I saw them and was like ahh, what a good time we had over in Aussie! - Couldn't resist posting a couple. It's me and Elli on the WipeOut at Dreamworld and on Broadbeach.
