Week Past 10/23-10/29
Sat,10/28 a friend, Dennis B., came to our house to install our garage door opener. There were two of them so I learned to assemble the other one. The actual installation I leave to him. I was planning on getting a hands on on the second door but a landscape contractor who just happen to be passing by because of a project in the neighborhood saw our yard still unfinished so he decidied to dropped by the house to put a bid on landscaping our yard. Costly work to get it all done.
Sun, 10/29 was the start of daylight savings time. That means you gain an hour's sleep by turning your clock back an hour. Unfortunate for those working overnight. I turned our clock back late Sat night.
At work Fri, 10/27 a female customer came to our desk to pay her billing statement. As I took her payment she made a comment smiling. I did not get it so I said "Excuse me, could you repeat that please?". She repeated herself and said, "I just said you're the guy who owns the place. The customer service." I looked at her and tried to recall if she's one of those regular customers that looks familiar. I guess she saw the look on my face and said "Of course you won't remember me with all the people you meet everyday but I know you and I see you work. You're good at your job". I said "Thank you". That definitely made my day... I remember another lady when I was working by myself and I had a line. She said, "This must be a very stressful job. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day." I gave her a smile and said, "You enjoy your day too, mam". Yeah, it helped relieve some of the stress... Kind words.


Woke up Sat 10/28 morning wondering why a portion of our bedroom wall is bathed in a shade of pink. Forcing myself to rise and look out the window I saw the sun peeking out (it's been cloudy the past days) its glow painting the sky with shades of yellow, pink and orange reflected in the lake's placid water. I immediately took my camera and took the pics above showing the view from the living room. The trees are now bare, shedding their leaves after a series of cold blustery days as if saying "naked are we, the lake is now yours to see". A beautiful site on a cold windy morning.

In my previous entry, I mentioned that I would talk about King Solomon in brief. So what about him? A colored life if I may say. His name is synonymous to wisdom. That is what he requested when God asked him what he wanted (1Kings3:5-14). The son of King David and Bathsheba (formerly the wife of Uriah, a loyal officer in King David's army whose death was planned by David himself to cover up his indiscretion 2Samuel 11:1-17) it is said that he had 700 wives and 300 concubines (1Kings11:3). Alas, it would be the reason he fell from grace with God (Sirach 47:19-20). I'm just wondering that with his God given wisdom and insight (1Kings4:29-31) he was not able to temper himself nor control his wives and concubines, Instead he was influenced by them to worship their idols. As it was then so it is now. Behind powerful men are women (wives, mothers, lovers, sisters?) influencing their decisions and actions. Unfortunate are those whose partners have different agenda. Solomon, the wisest of the wise, was unfortunate for he not only failed himself but he failed God,
