A really good website. I’ve gotten a few programs since I’ve started checking the site out. These are programs that normally you would have to pay for a license but for a span of one day, the website will give it to you for free. Really cool. Lots of times it is just a screensaver or something insignificant but just as often are very nice programs that run well. I’d definitely recommend making it one of your sites to check out every day.

In other news….haha…like I’m a reporter right? hehe. But yea, in other news, all is good. Jun has been finding some real nice stuff over there and buying little by little. I should be getting a box from him soon so I’ll take pictures of some of the stuff I get. I saw them on camera and they are all really cool.

Hope everyone is doing well. Keep my husband in your prayers please?

The truth that many people never understand, until its too late, is that the more you try to avoid suffering the more you suffer because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you in proportion to your fear of being hurt. – Thomas Merton

Jun actually found this one. We got into a little discussion about it, about like what it is trying to say or what it means or how we are supposed to read it. I love those kind of talks. Anyways, here’s pretty much what we got out of it.

We often realize too late that when we stuff the negative emotions inside of us and don’t deal with our problems or our roadblocks, the emotions don’t just go away. It builds up and builds up inside us and any little instance…an argument, something happening that reminds us, any little seemingly unimportant event…it can end up that we hurt ourselves because we did not yet deal with the initial problem. Haha. Did I translate that to make it easier or did I just make it harder? Hehe.

Maybe, to put it very simply….a problem does not go away just because we ignore the problem. It must be fixed or the problem will keep coming back. How’s that?

So I watched the Departed last night. God, what a wicked ass movie. It was good….real good, but wicked and such an unexpected ending. Me and Jaymes were watching it. Not many movies catch Jaymes but I guess this one did cause he sat there and watched and you could just tell. So we’ve been buying a lot of movies lately from the on-post video store. They’ll have movies, that were released just the previous week, on sale for 5 bucks. We’ve gotten a lot already in just a few weeks. I mean A LOT. My husband will be proud of me when he comes home and sees how much his collection has grown, and with good movies at that!

So, what’s the topic for this post? The Departed movie right? Well, how about just movies in general. What’s your favorite? I would have to say my favorite is still the Notebook and We Were Soldiers. Both are so close to home, it’s almost ridiculous. One movie I just thought of (by the way I started this sentence way later in the day) that I like watching is Boondock Saints. Old time favorite that we both like. Gotta cut this short cause it’s late now.

What movies would you recommend?

Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
J.R.R. Tolkien

For We Walk by faith, not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7

Faithless. Boy have I found myself faithless a lot of times, especially lately. But, deep in my heart I realize that my faith is all that I have that is truly real and can never leave me unless I want it gone. When the roads get dark and I can’t seem to find my way, that’s usually when the light starts to set in for me. I hope this is the case now with what’s going on.

I got this quote and reference to the bible from this subscription that we found that is normally charged by the people who provide it, but extend their services for free to soldiers and spouses (I think to any military at all really). It’s an email you get daily, you click a link and this beautiful picture comes up, a little quote from some person and a reference that has to do with quote found in the bible. Much like what you see here. Only there’s some really thought-provoking and calming music, and again, a picture that usually has something to do with the quote. For instance, this one had a picture of a narrow road in what looks like the woods. Here’s the link for you military folk and who knows, maybe someone else will enjoy it and subscribe to them. Jun and I have gotten many good quotes that we relate to and keep close to heart.

It’s a simple little thing, but to get this email at the end of each day (or at the beginning of each day for Jun), and especially when it’s something that inspires you with what’s going on in your life….Man! I know I love getting their emails.

So I hope you enjoyed my very first daily post. Yay for me! I’m already on a roll. Hehe.
