YAY!!

I wrote the prologue for my book today (although Pam called it a chapter). :P I got it done at work too. Hmmmm, does that mean that IF it gets published, and people actually buy it, that my place of employment gets some of the royalties? Um, no.

I gave up on chapter 1, though, because as I was trying to write, my co-workers were discussing politics. And they were saying that social security is gonna run out in 5 years, and then the whole country will suffer an economic depression and it will be "just like the fall of Rome". Ahh, and of course, they named Bush as the culprit. I was afraid if I tried to write while listening to them talk, I'd end up with a villian named George, and a Kingdom that fell because it was in debt.

I emphasize listening, because I felt it wise not to enter into the conversation since I voted for Bush. And since I don't think Bush has, a.) secret nuclear weapons in the White House basement or, b.) that he is planning his own Armageddon, that particular co-worker thinks anyone that doesn't think that (and voted for him) is in cahoots with him. Ha! A secret Rebel Army, like... the Bushwhackers? Muhahahhaha.... By the way, she thinks Brett Farvre is a fink (and hates him with a passion) so I KNOW she's got some serious issues (if the nuclear-bomb-in-the-basement-bush-theory doesn't give it away). Ha!

For my dear friends that happen to hate Bush, I love you anyway. :P

By the way, a clarification on a particular post, I believe it was titled "pressing toward the mark": I think what it said was that if you trust God enough, he will change something bad in your life... or something like that. I re-read it today (looking for typos, which I'm very good at leaving), and discovered that I sounded rather like a pious snot. "If you trust God enough..." I didn't want anyone to think I was implying life is crappy because your faith is weak. What I meant to say is something more on the lines of this:

"Instead of worrying, let God worry about it. Trust him; He'll work it out."

Yay, did that make sense? I think it made more sense than my big wordy entry the other day. And now I'm going to shut up, because... well, its after 1 am, and I'm afraid I won't make sense after awhile. If I don't already, I apologize. :P
