Genesis 9 (Still Going After A Week)

I missed a milestone yesterday.
In the mists of work and other stuff I missed something important.

I have been blogging for a week.

Actually as of after this post, I've been a blogger for a week AND a day.
Somehow that is supposed to sound so much better than it does.
I keep reading "I have been blogging for a week" over and over and over.
I've even tried different voices.
Low pitched "I have been blogging for a week"
High pitched "I have been blogging for a week"
Changing pitch from low to high "I have been blogging for a week"
Changing pitch from high to low "I have been blogging for a week"
No that's just weird.
In French "I have been blogging for a week" Oui! lala! Renault!
Nothing.
(Actually typing in the low pitched, high pitched bits seems silly but how do you type accents? It would just come out as "I have been blogging for a week" 5 times and that would be ridiculous.
Wouldn't it?)
Even the dog doesn't move.
Is it too much to even expect a celebratory bark?
He just snored.
Typical!
Donna continues to think I'm odd
See, no change.
Not even a badge.
Or a hat.
A badge would be nice.

Genesis 9
Hard read this chapter.
It depicts a man who, 2 chapters ago was the most righteous man on earth, in an embarrassing example of excess.
It shows a son, all too ready to take advantage.
No honour.
No respect.
No memory seemingly of the fact it was the actions of his father that saved him from the flood.
It shows the other 2 sons who totally see their father in a compromised position and treat him with dignity.
It reminds me of my frailty when positioned in front of temptation and opportunity.
And no matter how strong my faith in God is, I am weak.
But when I fall, He helps me up and gives me the strength to continue.

We had friends over for tea tonight.
Good friends who are good for a laugh.
We laughed alot.
We really laughed alot.
I thought I'd get a story out of that.
But I guess not.
It was still pretty funny.

Here's to another week.
