Getting Off to a Good Start

I got a treadmill and love it! It has a Ipod port, so I don't have to wear an earpiece. I'm getting more and more endurance to keep on moving, so that's a point of happiness in my life.
We are taking a Wednesday night class at church, trying to figure out what our spiritual gifts are, and how to better use them. It's really interesting to know that everyone was born with one or more gifts to serve God. One day we are all going to stand in front of God, and He's going to ask what we have done to serve Him with our gifts. It's a deep concept.
It's fun to see God working in my life; even the little things make me take note. Yesterday we were in a parking lot, carrying a shirt that Marcus wanted to return. The receipt flew out of the bag and danced around in the parking lot. Marcus was kneeling in the dirty snow, looking for it underneath cars, etc., then when we thought it was gone for good, it danced right in front of me and I snatched it up. Hah!
Bently's doing good, just really naughty. He recently got fixed and has been losing his baby teeth. Lots of things are getting chewed on, but at least he's cute. A new neighbor just moved in downstairs in our apartment building, and I'm hearing they have a Doberman (BIG dog). Hopefully Bently will have a friend, not a nemesis.
Work is going well for us both. We're thankful to have jobs in this day.
Overall, we're very blessed.
