Pre-thanks givings

Greetings! Hope this post finds you well. After I wrote my last post, I remembered a couple of things that I forgot to mention. For instance, on my niece's birthday we , along with my brother and sister-in-law, went out to lunch at Chang's which I think...no, that is her favorite place to eat. Meat. Yep, that is all she gets there, and the only sauces/liquids she puts in the bowl is lime juice. She loves lime with her meat!!! Silly girl!
On the 9th, I went with my sister to her friend's house who was hosting a jewelry party. It was neat to see my sister's friend again as it is not very often that my sister and her see each other. It was a good and interesting time. That morning we had gone to second service at church because we had gone to the Blazer game the night before. The Blazers played the Minnesota T'wolves and we won, mind I forget the score. It was a good game, though. So was church, too!
Well, work is going about the same. We transmitted payroll today and got it sent a little earlier than last time but didn't get some of the processes done. I guess we can do some after we have sent it off. We've been getting more new hires come in, I think from the acquisition we made. Each time we do this process of payroll under the new company, I suppose things will ????? (can't think of the word, phrase again) under our belt.
Lately, in Mosaic, we have been studying 1 John. I have been noticing that the word, 'manifest' is mentioned a few times. I plan to do a word study on that this week so stay tuned. Speaking of study, I missed Women's Bible study tonight because of rehearsal which went fine. I hope WBS went well, and look forward to hearing about what was taught in the message.
This last weekend, I was home by myself as my family had gone to the coast. I watched the Lakers/Pistons game Friday night and 'twas fun watching the Pistons beat the Lakers...oh yeah!! Oh, and thank you Lord for watching over me on my way home from work Friday night, too!!! I can't say that enough...how great is our God!!! Saturday, I spent an hour and a half at the car dealership waiting to get an oil change done on my car. I ended up getting the brake flush, too, as it was one of two services needed at the # of miles I had driven on the car. Then I went and got my hair cut. I had thought about it for a while and just couldn't get in because of working, etc. Oregon State was playing CA in College football in the afternoon and I watched some of it...Go Beavers!!! Saturday night I went to church where a good message was spoken and then went to group. Sunday, I slept in and went shopping in the afternoon, after I went to hear a good friend do a presentation about where she has been a missionary in Africa. Good to see her and the work that she is doing down there, with God's help!
Here is Phil 3:9 which is what I mentioned in my last blog but didn't have my Bible by me to quote it.
"and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, byt that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness whichs is from God by faith;" NKJV
