Can't figure out why the blogger robots suspected my blog violated some terms whatever. But thanks anyway, I'm back.
The bandera espanola Mum planted some weeks ago have flowers now and I took pictures of it with my cellphone camera. Unfortunately I can post it right away as I can't use the bluetooth yet.
I was Mum's alalay this morning when she went to the beauty parlor to have her hair cut and permed. I thought the whole beautifying effort will only take and hour but to my annoyance it took us three hours. We waited one hour for the gay beautician who went downtown to deposit money in the bank and two hours for the actual trimming and perming of them greying hair of mum. I was able to finish reading two magazines while waiting for Mum. One was a fashion mag and the other about travel.
All afternoon my mind was full of ideas I wanted to post but when it's time for me to sit down and type, I feel very tired and I discover all those ideas are already gone. I have to gather my thoughts. I think it would be wise to post in the morning when my mind is fresh and I've had a good night's sleep. So bye for now. See ya all in the morning.

One cool thing I've been doing lately is memorizing Bible verses. Here's one I have already memorized:
The bolts of our gates will be iron and bronze and our strength will equal our days. There is no one like the God of Jeshurun who rides on the heavens to help us and on the clouds in His majesty. The eternal God is our refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out our enemy before us saying "Destroy him!"
I recite this verse aloud or silently to myself or while I'm praying because this gives me strength. The ultimate chalenge I am facing today as a Christian is to be an overcomer.
