our resident scots

Gotta love working morning shift and saying "goodnight, sleep well" to guests just coming in. Gotta love Jimmy and Paul.
Jimmy...praise God he's got a good job that he enjoys and is paying off debts and getting his life back together. But it is still my prayer that he grows in his relationship with God. That instead of seeing him as someone who throws down blessings and curses at a whim he sees God as a Saviour, wanting to rescue and free Jimmy from the traps and bondage he's stuck in.

Paul...he loves his toys. Last time he was here he had some camera/planner/mp3 player/who knows whatever other type of technology thing and now he got a hands free head set for his phone and a new laptop with over 3000 songs on it. Yesterday he said "I'm done buying toys; I've got everything now." He just walked in and said, "I'm buying a motorcycle." haha.
Seriously though, one of these days he's going to realize that these toys don't satisfy...he keeps collecting more and more, and he's still not happy. Going through woman after woman doesn't make him happy. The things of this world are unsatisfying and it's going to hit him one day that all this is meaningless. I pray that when that day comes he'll fall into the arms of the one who can (and longs to!) satisfy his desires and heal his brokenness.
