Virus, anyone???



Yep. It happened. Facebook. Clicked on a video that a friend had allegedly posted titled, "Cute pics of my kids!" Then, in order to watch it, I needed to download the updated version of Adobe Flashplayer. Seems logical, right??? The virus is lovingly titled Adobe Faker. I finally fell for it. Literally, about 15 years of DAILY computer experience and I finally got a virus. Sheesh. Anywho, enough whining. So, from the latop I communicate. Laptops, or at least this one, are harder to type on.
Next point, EXCITING day at the Steelman house! Chase has his first belt test today. He is getting tested today to see if he has what it takes to advance from a white belt to an orange belt. He has been going to a karate school in Canyon called Kaniwa Dojo for a few months. He really likes it. Over the last year, we have realized (only took 10 years, not too bad, ay?) that Chase isn't really into team sports. He is kind of a "one man show." He does want to play basketball this year, and so we are going to give that a whirl. No promises made on that subject. Then, after the belt test, I am going to show some good properties. Good b/c they would bring a nice harvest. I have been emailing and communicating with these folks for about 8 months and they have decided they want to start looking and possibly list their house. Real estate takes a GREAT deal of patience and perserverance. Then, someone like this calls me, seemingly out of the blue and the momentum just carries me. I really do love it. It is a fun, exciting business that never gets boring.
Next point, we finally took the Saturday night church plunge. It really felt no different than being there on Sunday morning. JW sheepishly admitted that he had, possibly spoken onto him by his Dad, but we aren't accusing anyone, some unfounded strongholds about the way church is supposed to be. God never really describes the atmosphere of the church in the Bible. He refers often to the people in it, but nothing about the building, worship, parking, bookstores, coffee shops. Satan uses ridiculous, trivial things to try to keep people away from the church. Like, church must be this or that. OR church can't have this or that, or those. Those people really aren't worshipping God, b/c that ain't the song my Grandmaw sang or that ain't the kind of chairs my Aunt Nelly sat in. Unfortunately, a lot of the time, it works. JW always said, I would never go to church on Saturday night, NOPE, ain't gonna do it. Well, last night, last minute, it fit our schedule better, SOOOOOOOOOOO, we did it. Took the plunge. Risked our salvation, went to Trinity on SATURDAY NIGHT. It was great. Kind of a date night. Chase is at the ranch with mom, so we had the night to ourselves. Jimmy Evans is doing an amazing series on Love and Commitment in marriage. He is as good live as he is on his C.D.'s. We are really loving it AND Chase loves The Extreme room. For the first time in a while, he has liked and looked forward to going to kid's church. God has lit the fire in our weary souls, once again.
