Or, more accurately, a corporate whore. You may have noticed that my posts are now slightly lower than they used to was. You see,
Blogger has signed a contract with
AdSense, a
Google construct. I allow Google to put advertisements on my site that are "relevant," and I get paid on a "per click" basis. Basically, I get paid almost nothing to add another line of text to my blog. But I do get paid, so it's worth it.
In other news, for those of you who read this who do not yet know (who either don't know me or have the intelligence of wet cardboard), I'm getting married in December! It is . . . I think the closest word in English is "harrowing," although "exciting" and "frightening" have some of the same connotations. My
fianceé is incredible and I love her more and more each day, as each day I continue to pray that God changes me so I can love her more perfectly.
But not everything is coming up roses in Longview, TX.
Rita is coming, and she is not happy. Even if she does land at category 4, if she follows the actions of Katrina, she will only gain strength when she hits land. From south Texas and Louisiana, she will travel north until reaching Longview. There, she will stop. The rain will pour, the lightning will come, the tide will rise with the storm, and she will not move. For days Rita will be stalled directly above Longview. Pray for us, for our friends, for the families who have been forced to evacuate the path of this storm. I know, without a shadow of a doubt that God is in complete control of this situation, and I know that nothing will happen without Him allowing it to. But I pray that he does not allow such devastation as came with Katrina. God's will be done.
