My good friend from Bible school used to tell me, "It's all in your mind." Lately I've been realizing just how true that statement is. Happiness, it would seem, is a choice. Sometimes it's easier for me to wallow in self pity for no other reason than that I rather enjoy getting sympathy, but when I start to make it a habit, life just gets more and more depressing. It's nice to get a wake up call every once in a while that reminds me being depressed is just a state of mind and that I have every reason to be filled with joy. How much Satan loves it when I think only about myself, and with that fool myself into believing that I have reason to be unhappy with my life.
...I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
- Phillipians 4:12-13

well put my friend, well put.
and it's K-O-B-R-I-M-C-I-D-E-N-C-E
like "coincidence" only different
hooray for showers!
oh thats how you spell it. hey what does it mean anyway?
like kim and rob only switched...you know kob-rim? and when we first started dating oh so long ago we noticed there were many coincidences that occured that led up to our becoming a couple. so we changed our names to combine them...sorta like bennifer only better, and then changed coincidence. i made rob a shirt that says kobrim on the back...the one with jesus on the front i'm sure you've seen it. any thats all.
i mean, "anyway, thats all"
Haha. No worries I got that Kim, and no I haven't seen that shirt.
P.S. Kim do you realize you spelt it kobromcidence on your own blog?
Batman do you think you could get God to wrangle a kobrimcidence so you end up in Japan?
i can't believe i did that and didnt even notice
how dumb am i?
That's cool Hemo. I like it. Slef obsession, leading to "depression". It works eh? Satan is a jerk face, so that is basically the long and short of it. Miss you buddy. Let's make all sorts of kobrimcidences so we can all end up together again :)
you guys are missing the point here: it can only be a "kobrimcidence" if it involves 2 people, and only two people :me and rob.
you'll have to come up with your own clever name guys....it just doesnt have the same ring....hereathercidence? peathatticidence?....see what i mean?
I dunno, they sound pretty cool to me. Maybe we'll have to see, I might just steal your term anyways, it is cool.
I love slef obsession, don't knock it Patti...
Thanks Pete, you would say that. Enjoy your slef obsession...
