Genesis 12 (Why Did I Have to Say Something?)

I made a huge mistake.
There are some things you just shouldn't do.
Yesterday as I struggled with the reality of how this project was taking shape. I made a statement that in hindsight, I shouldn't have.
I said, and I quote

"I think it's becoming or is still a bit dull."

and inferred ultimately that I must be dull.

Well at 1:43am this morning things stopped being dull.
I was asleep having just a normal dream.
As you do.
Suddenly it changed.
I was dreaming I couldn't breathe.
But then,
I woke up and I still couldn't breathe.
I couldn't get any air into my lungs whatsoever.
Now at that time of day, I'm not the quickest duck in the race.
I have no idea what was happening.
EXCEPT I CAN'T BREATHE.
I jumped up and somehow got to the bathroom.
The bathroom is, of course the best room in the entire house to breathe.
So it was a natural thing to do.
Still trying to suck in air. Nothing.
Panic.
Vomit. (Gross. Sorry about that.)
And suddenly my lungs are filled with oxygen.
It took maybe 5 seconds but, by cracky, it was a really looonnggg 5 seconds.
So in future no more comments about anything being dull.
I had a witty thought to put in here, but it's gone. Hmmmm.

Genesis 12
I love that the awesome promises of God come true.
"I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing."
Magnificent.
God's plan is spot on. Even when we second guess ourselves.
Abram should have known God would look after him and his family in Egypt. He risked so much by being fearful and not telling the truth rather than trusting in God.
Something I really need to learn.
The trusting bit.
Not the tell the truth bit.
I already get that.
Phew. I think I got away with it.

I spent most of today with my boss.
Which is normally ok.
He's not a bad sort of bloke.
Tall.
But not bad and tall.
Which is an evil combination.
We've been putting together a report and the process is not unlike a torture.
Death by a thousand cut and pastes.
Today as we extracted data from reports, he made some comment about
finding a story in the drudgery of the task for this blog.
He joked I couldn't do it.
He was correct.
:p
