Three days in a row. Not bad. Now what do I discuss? My mom and I finally dropped off my application to Hobby Lobby. As it happened, my mom noticed that there is a much closer location than the one I gave my app. It’s only one buss away and it is straight down Rainbow Blvd. I hope I get a call from them rather than the farther one.
The atmosphere there is very relaxed. That is a prime thing I look for in job.
After I dropped off my app, we went to Target next to Hobby Lobby. My picked up some clothes and got some odds and ends. My mom ended up getting a carbonation machine. Jim said it is unhealthy. So, we will be taking it back. lol.
So I have been doing some exploring around Goodreads for a little while. I finally found out how to join reading groups. I signed up for the basic free membership. I am considering joining a sci-fi/fantasy group. If I do end up following that plan, I will end up finding myself striving to read a lot more than I am now. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be a bad thing. It will enrich my mind.
But before I do that, I must saturate myself with the Word.
Therefore brethren, we are debtors not to to the flesh to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the flesh you will live. As many who are led by the Spirit, these are the sons of God. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our Spirit that we are the children of God. And if children than heirs with God and joint heirs of Christ. That if we indeed suffer with Him we shall be glorified together.
For I consider the sufferings of this present time, not worthy to be compared to the glory that shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For creation was subject to futility. Not willingly but Him who subjected it in hope. For we did not receive of bondage again to fear. But we have received the Spirit of adoption by which we cry abba Father. For creation itself will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

I think I got that one.
Jim called off from work today from his second job at Albertson’s. Good for him. He deserves it. He’s got one day off after tomorrow when he goes to both jobs.
If my calculations are correct, this is the third day with no games. Rather, I’ve been doing some writing things. Speaking of which, the leader of the group I’m in is offering me a leadership job. I’ll probably decline. There’s a lot of research I need to do about promoting my book on social media.
Well. That’s it for now goodbye.

What a day! The good thing is that I did not indulge in games today. I did call the social security office and got some information about working while disabled. Even my mom is slightly confused. I will call the office in the morning with my mom’s help. It opens at 9 AM. I’m eager to start working.
I must get back to writing though. I’m going to take a break from affiliate marketing for now and focus on my composition. After the job situation is cleared up, I will get on with my Thrice Prompted piece. I also want to do the gym in the morning. I missed the last two days. lol. I finally talked to that blond trainer. Her name is Jenn. I caught her while she was training a client. I just commented he was very nice and friendly. Then I had to bounce because Jim was waiting for me to leave with him. I plan to talk to her again.
I have to set up a writing site for my book. If I had known how many issues with WA, I never would have joined. I am entertaining the thought of ending my membership. It is very time consuming –very time consuming! Getting back to WdC is long overdue.
I was excited to hear that Tobber, a fellow WdC member I know quite well, has a job with a short story magazine. It’s non-paying but it is good practice and excellent for experience. Not only that but he has published a few short stories. He’s on his way for sure!
Man is it hot. Phew! It’s almost 110 degrees. If I do get a job, that will be a minus. Beggars can’t be choosers though. I’m very hasty in my priorities and my intentions. I need to learn to take things one day at a time. But at the same instance, I can’t procrastinate. My mom thinks I should pray about my goals and incentives. That, I will surely do.
I feel good writing. This is my true niche.
I need better quiet times. It’s something I’ve prayed about. Jesus must come first. He must be my purpose for writing. And that is what my book is centered around-things in the Word.
I talked with George yesterday. He doesn’t play that many games these days. He partakes in other, healthier hobbies. He likes to play pool, chess and bowling. The only games he plays is Pacman, Space Invaders, centipede and such classic games.
1 Peter 2 13-14 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake. Whether it be to Kings as supreme, or unto governors as unto the that are sent by Him for the punishment if of evildoers and to praise those who do well.
Psalm. 91:11 He who abides in the secret place of the Most High, shall dweleth under the shadow of the Almighty.
In my Father’s house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would not have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will receive you to myself. That where I am, there you may be also.
Cool verses.
Well, that’s it for tonight. Goodbye.

My goodness! It’s been so long! I’ve been playing too many video games. Just today I am exploring to the marketing aspect of writing. I’m starting with Goodreads. It’s generally straight forward. But before I make an author account, I have to join a reading group that allows me to critique other author’s works as suggested in the site. I kind of don’t know how to do that. lol. But I’ll find out.
I must commit myself to God firstly, but I need to recommit myself to writing. The affiliate marketing thing only goes so far. And it is time consuming. Moreover, I need to set up a site for my book. I may end up ditching the whole affiliate marketing gig altogether. I’m facing an issue right now as it is with the program.
Once I am done familiarizing myself with Goodreads, I will move onto other social avenues. I want to have all my bases covered. It may take a several hours a day for a few months to get everything down. lol.
I went with my mom to her dentist appointment. My mom was in her truck about to leave the neighborhood and I caught her just in time as I was walking home from the store. We were there for about an-hour-and-half. I briefly spoke with a young lady in an electric wheel chair. She is going to CSN to begin her AA in Psychology. Then she plans to go to NSC later on. She was very nice and pretty.
Conform to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake. Whether to kings as to supreme or unto governors who are sent to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good.
well, I have to go to church. Goodbye.

Boy did I sleep in late! I hate when I do that. I wasted my whole day. Uhg! I played for about an hour on the PS4. Man do I need practice to survive on DBFZ. Everyone I fight is really good. But I do not have time to practice that much do to my affiliate marketing thing and my writing. However, I’ve really been neglecting my writing though. Plus I need to figure out how to market my book on social media. It is easy, though I’m sure. lol.
God is really moving in this home. He’s just totally exploding! I’ve not going to lie; it is a scary power! But it is a good scary. Nevertheless, I am a little intimidated.
My ride is not able to pick me up tonight. I may be going to our other church. It is rather boisterous and loud. The Spirit is very potent and high energy in this church. It’s a bit overwhelming.
Going back to my sleeping issue, I will attempt another try at getting up early and starting the day off with the gym than the Word. Then it’s off to WA. I need help with that yet again, specifically Google Analytics. I may have to go through the whole thing myself to fix my issue. I will retry getting help from GA itself, though I’ve asked my question myself a few times already. lol.
It rained a bit today in the heat. It’s quite humid now. I love the rain though.
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1
My buddy Craig says he will hook me up with a bike to go to Hobby Lobby when I get the job there. The place is very close. Craig was telling me an alternate bike route that would be faster to get there than by buss. My mom needs to take me to apply there still. I’m pretty sure I’ll get the job. I wonder how Chad will react about me getting a job. lol.
I wonder how he’ll react. I may get paid more than he does an hour. He, he. I’m hoping I’ll get fixed part time hours. That will be cool! Nevertheless, I must stay under $1,220 a month or I’ll lose my SSI and medical coverage. That would suck.
Well, that’s it for me. Goodbye.

Wow, it’s been so long! Hello WdC! I’ve been preoccupied with Wealthy Affiliate – to preoccupied. Once again I have run into another technical issue. This time it’s been with Google Analytics. My clicks are not registering on the platform as indicated on the Amazon Associates home page. I posted on a YouTube video my issue. The most recent reply was three hours ago when I asked my question. So I should get a prompt answer.
I did say that if I could not a straight answer, that I be referred to some place that will conclusively help my problem. According to Amazon, I have had five clicks on one day. But nothing registers on GA. It’s quite a mystery. lol.
A very significant ordeal just ended last night. Our family friend and her daughter just let for Pahrump. They’ve been living here for three weeks. It was time for them to leave. But let me start from the beginning; the two mentioned individuals, were held at gun point and had their car was jacked with important items in it. It occurred at about 3 AM in the morning. Anyway, we went through this whole thing about acquiring her medications and took that long. At one point we had her admitted to a hospital for about four days. When she was released, she was brought to our house with an oxygen tank.
I failed to mention the reason for her hospitalization. Her asthma was very severe.
Nevertheless, my mom was really witnessing to her and her daughter. The mom made dinner for us all a few times. She made matzo ball soup. It’s an acquired taste for sure. lol. I felt like I was eating soggy bread. She made two other dishes that were good; one was pesto pasta and the other was this meat and cheese filled crescent rolls. It was delicious!
To get back to the initial ordeal, the mom is always nagging her daughter. I don’t know what her mom would do without her daughter. Someday she may leave her mom. That would devastate her.
I will say that it is a relief to have them gone. Don’t get me wrong, it was joy to have them. But we needed a breather.
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91: 1.
The Lord will give strength to his people. He blesses his people with peace. Psalm 29:1

I’ve been trying to memorize specific verses from Romans - chapter 12 I think.
I need to get on the daily regimen of going to the gym in the morning and then doing WA for six hours. After that I will do writing stuff.
Oh and I may be a getting a job at Hobby Lobby. It is an arts and craft store close to my house. They’re accepting applications now. We prayed for it last night at the meeting.
Well, that’s it for now. I’m tired. Goodbye.

It’s been so long! Twelve days! I wrote for an hour. And I memorized a new verse.

The Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not pray as we ought. But the Spirit makes intersession for us with groaning that cannot be uttered. He that searches the heart knows the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intersession for the saints according to the will of God.

I’ve been too distracted by WA. It’s like a real job. It requires long hours of time. I’ve been trying to so WA in the early morning then do WdC stuff and writing. I read for just over an hour as well. I got through three short chapters. I left off reading on a cliff chapter called “Intruders.” Nothing very important has happened in those three chapters. The name “Intruders” sounds promising.
So, I made a Facebook page. When I was creating it, I got two options: personal or business. As I will be marketing the book, I figured it was for a business. Then I got this message that said only an official representatives may use it commercially. In order to figure this out, I tried many sites like chatrooms or relevant business phone numbers. Eventually, I posted a question on WdC tech-support. I was told it was off topic and was instructed to go to Facebook support. It did not help.
Then a fellow WdC member commented on my post. She said there is such a thing called an author page. I got back to her asking if I should delete my regular page and make an author page. I’m still waiting for her response.
The weeks have been well. Chad doesn’t call as much as he used to. We talked for about forty minutes earlier. He was going to his mom’s house. Some drunken lady tried to take his phone out of his hands. Chad had a knife on him and he took it out. He’s told me of similar situations. LOL. He once told me about this ugly hooker who was chasing him trying to pick up on him. I’m sure it freaked him out like crazy.
Man is it hot! I planned to beat the heat and get up early to go to the gym. I flaked out. I also flaked out on Vacation Bible School. I signed up to go Monday through Wednesday but I did not show up. I hope no one will think ill of me. It was a good chance to serve the Lord. And I missed out.
What else shall I speak of? I’ve decided to forego N-N-Out. It’s way too crazy and stressful. Pretty much all fast food joints are like that. But N-N-Out is the worst I’d say. We’ve prayed for a job. God wants me to be productive. Until I do get a bona-fide job, Wealthy Affiliate is my job.
Well, that is it for now. Goodbye.

Oh my goodness! What a day! I’ve been out of the house for almost six hours. The original plan was my mom and I too to see the Nebuchadnezzar statue at a church and then go out to eat. We ended up staying for the Bible and prayer; it was deep and the people there filled with God’s Spirit. We stuck around for about two hours I’d say or longer. Then we went to a restaurant called Jackson’s Bar and Grill. We used a coupon and got twenty-five dollars off a fifty dollar order. It was a digital coupon. I got a 16 oz. steak. It was just okay. It was kind of fatty. lol.
My mom’s friend Sharon is staying the night. She’s not doing so well and we’re helping out in some other ways like clothes and gas money. God is moving in this household.
I started to memorize a new scripture.

Therefore brethren, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the flesh, you will live.

Chad called me at the church. He was going to work at 4 pm and get off at 11:30 pm. He was supposed to go out to eat for Father’s Day but work got in the way. He was talking to his family about celebrating it tomorrow. But then Michael works tomorrow. I don’t know what they’re going to do. I feel sorry for Chad.
I was going to sign up for Google Analytics so I could track my traffic. But when I was filing out the application, they listed cities to indicate time zones. It was preset to Los Angeles which is pacific like it is in Vegas. I had to use my phone to see the different time zones. I will sign up within the next few days.
I’m still trying to get a job. I’m currently applying for IN-N-Out. A person I know of works at the location I am applying for. I told him to put in a good work in for me.

Well, it’s 7 pm. I’m dead tired. Goodbye.

Oh my goodness! It’s been so long! What shall I write about? My grandma’s dogs are still with us. In truth I don’t want to see them go. )= My grandma is still recovering from her injury. I don’t know when she’ll be able to get them back. She can’t handle the dogs jumping all over her. My grandma gave me three-hundred dollars for my birthday. It was for taking care of her two dogs Roxy and Charlie. They’re both bundles of joy and so cute especially little Roxy. I love it when she sticks her tongue out and pants with this adorable smile.
It’s also fun when anyone of us come back to the house from some place and they are so happy to see us.

There is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus who do not walk after the flesh but after the Spirit. For the law of the light of life in Christ has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak in the flesh, God sent His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh that on account of sin He might condemn sin in the flesh that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk after the flesh. For those who walk after the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who walk after the Spirit set their minds on the things of the spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. For the carnal mind is enmity against God and is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:1-8

I think I got that one.

So my overall Google stats are in the up and up. So far I have no comments for my site. I need to know how to enable them. Maybe there is a plugin for comments. I’ll ask tech support. I have resolved to do a post three days a week. That may be hard though. I need to finish the basic training still.
So with Wealthy Affiliate, I changed my theme. It looks a lot better. I followed the advice of a fellow member who suggested doing that. I want to know what he thinks of my site now.
Well, it’s almost 7 PM. I will bid the goodnight.

Although I’ve been doing so little, I’m a bit out of it. I began a new post on WA. It pertains to those who compose art not just collect it. It’s about using words to give an impression on art. I read an article on the subject and I recall bits and pieces. lol.
I have my memory verses in front of my calendar in the computer room. That way I can see it whenever I walk in. lol. I put one in the bathroom and I have that one down pat.
So Gio called me in the morning about hanging out for my b-day. I told him to meet me at BJ’s at 10:30. I was surprised. I honestly didn’t think he would have wanted to go.
The AC guy is here. There are some things that need upgrading. lol. One of the things has to do with the ventilation system. The dogs were going nuts. Nimue was doing most of the barking. We had to keep them in the master bedroom.
I called the theater and Matt, the hiring guy, is not in today. But he’ll be in tomorrow at 5 pm. So I’ll call in the evening. Poor Jim was up all tired from work and then dealing with the AC guy. Tomorrow is Jim’s first day back to Caesar’s Palace.
My bro Josh who lives in Denver is getting back shots. My mom just told me. His back is really been hurting him. Poor guy. He has a full plate anyway with his daughter that is one is year old. He has his wife Janna of course but still.
I called Chad for a change. He was complaining about a job related issue. lol. Nothing new.
It is almost in the triple digits outside. Thank heaven for air conditioning. The bad thing is that I have to get up early to go to the gym. And I can’t walk to the store. If only I drove.
The handyman is getting some flowers for us at Lowe’s. My mom borrowed $20 to make $100 for the guy.
Well it seems my mom and Jim will be getting their shots at the same time tomorrow.
Well, that’s it for me. Goodbye.
