MRFL. i went to the vacuum store today to get vacuum bags, and the lady sold me on a $45 hepa filter (she mentioned the word 'allergies', and i was sold... cuz i'm thinking half my problem is my pet dust bunnies)...
i went out for coffee, i felt decent, and as soon as i walked in my door i started sneezing uncontrollably. YUP - allergies.
so i put the bag in the vacuum, and tried the hepa... and it didn't fit! i took it for granted that the lady knew what she was talking about. i *should* have said, "are you sure it will fit model such and such?", cuz i *had* brought that info....
...why is it that we hesitate to question another person's assurances? i didn't think mine was a hepa vac, but she sounded so confident that it was regular filters, with the option of hepa, well, she should know, right??? HA.
lesson learned.
problem is: i prolly won't get into town again until next week... i *did* ask if for some strange reason it didn't fit i could return it, she said 'oh yeah!'... but i'll scream if they don't. i can't afford the $45 if it won't help me!!!!
i'll turn around and put that money toward the norwex toilet system (if the solution passes my sniff test again, that is)... cuz now *that* will help me.....
*shuffles away hoping no one will look in her toilet*
btw, i vacuumed the kitchen, and the air seems better already. ...mind you that could be becuase i got my patio door all the way open.... :P
the goal: to focus this fuzzy, nut-bucket life and walk on Him - and on Him alone

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....
"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks
"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)
i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes
i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
