How I Feel Right Now

It is 12:15 a.m. I have been reading a fictional novel entitled "The Piano Teacher" just for fun. I read a lot and I do love a good novel/story. I can't read non-fiction all the time and sometimes just want something fun to read. I've enjoyed my time tonight. I went to The Post and met my best friend and sat together. We worshipped, sang, praised and listened to a good sermon by the leader. When I got home it was nice just being with my wife and spending some quiet time together. She has to work tomorrow so she went to bed at her regular time of 10:00 p.m. But I wasn't ready yet so I came into the library to read, sip a good bourbon and smoke a cigar. A few luxuries I enjoy occassionally. I love where I am in life right now and hope it can stay that way. I have the time and the flexibility to do varied things and be involved in several things. There really isn't anything real important I want to say, just that I'm happy with where I am in life. God has really worked me over the past couple of years and it has been painful, exhausting and frustrating. But the result has been good. If people would just hang in there and go with it, God always brings events and situations to a good ending for us. Of course, by world's standards it might not be good. But in my relationship with God and becoming the man He wants me to be, it is always good. For that I am very, very grateful.
