Thou Shall not Envy

I sure like this Cinnamin Bagel...goes good with my latte at Panera Bread. I know you want some. It won't be long now. God willing, in four months we will all be here settling in, finding new routines and ruts and favorite haunts to frequent. This may be mine...at least one of them.

I got a campus tour from Buzz Roberts, a campus minister. He and his wife, Betty are eager for us to get here. I bought their lunch because they were once robbed in San Antonio while on a visit there.

Vince Smith, pastor of the SC Christian Church said they would have a crew to help us unload when we get here. We will save some of their muscle for the Baum's arrival...or does the military muscle do that for you?

I was just visiting with Henry Mullinger at the next table. He is a graduate of PSU and a big Nittany Lion fan...has had season tickets since he graduated...in 1941! Had to miss a few games to go fly planes during WW2. He absolutely loves it here. He and his wife are about to go watch the musical Hairspray on campus tonight. He was confident that we will find housing with no problem.

Could you guys send my wife on up, then bring our furniture along when you come? I think I want to just stay.

Breathe Deep.

This seems to be the only way I can write on this blog????
Anyway, it sounds as though you are pretty content and happy there! I am so ready. Every time satan tries to discourage me, all I have to do is think about State College for a few seconds and I can run him off. God has truly set my eyes on Him and on His mission for PA.
I have wanted to print the words to a fabulous new song I have discovered. I have heard it on KLOVE several times but didn't know who wrote. It's by Josh Groban (who btw is coming to SA in concert).
"You Raised Me Up"
"When I am down and oh, my soul's so weary.
When troubles come and my heart burdens me.
Then I am still & wait here in the silence,
until you come & sit awhile with me.
You raised me up so I can stand on mountains.
You raised me up to walk on stormy seas.
I am strong when I am on your shoulders.
You raised me up to more than I can be."
