A Bad Day
I’m having a bad day.
Feeling a bit under the weather.
Getting on a plane to go say goodbye to my buddy Mark.
Found out about some peeps talking smack behind my back.
Have bit of depression/anxiety.
I found an eye booger on my cheek in my 11 o’clock meeting.
And it’s only lunch time.
How’s your day?
Los
RAIN IT DOWN
Kids sick. Wife sick. Me not wanting to be sick. Baby up all night. Seems like this bad day is spreading. Good thing He is still on the throne.
Sorry to hear about your day. My thoughts are with you and Mark's family.
I was looking for a good quote to help you out but all i could find was:
"There's no bad day that can't be overcome by listening to a barbershop quartet; this is just truth, plain and simple."
Hope that helps.
I'm stressing about getting a bunch of forms filled out for my visa for South Africa. I've had tons of time, but just found out that I have to get background checks and medical clearances and such.
It's great, it just started!
hmm… significantly better than yours. Got my Starbuck's this morning… I'm actually checking things off my list at work… and I get to watch the high schoolers practice their choiring tonight! I'm sorry about your friend Mark, I read the blog… must be tough.
I've had a day of attempting to teach fussy 7 and 8 year old children. Not enjoyable. Hope your day picks up
feeling under the weather as well and went on a little mini rant last night during rehearsal about my passion to see people in our church connected to God. I'll be praying for you sir. God has called you bro and appointed you to lead where you are at.
The eye booger on the cheek made me laugh out loud!
I pray for strength, wisom and grace for your day. In Jesus name.

My day's going pretty good so far…other than the foggy day schedule my kids were on this morning…just prayed for you…

Sorry you're having a bad day. I know as you think about your friend, you'll probably experience saddness off and on, that's a tough loss. The Worship leader at the church I do publications and websites at just lost his 5 month old granddaughter yesterday morning, I know he and his family are dealing with saddness as well.
My day is busy, but good.
Praying for you, man. Address that issue with the "peeps talking smack" as soon as you can. Don't let it fester. Woodall says, "Keep short accounts." I hope the Riverside trip is a good one.
Hey dude, I appreciate your posts and I hope your day gets better. I'll pray for you and the family of your buddy Mark.
I will agree with the under the weather deal.
I woke up multiple times last night with my head and back KILLING me.
I can tell it's one of those, "body ache" before the sickness type deals.
Not looking forward to the next few days.
Definitely will be praying for Mark's funeral and everyone involved.
i have a crick in the middle top of my back that is killing me. no eye boogers though. sorry dude.
I'll rub that thing out of you if I see you tomorrow.
Even on a crappy day, you are better looking, more inovative, and more transparant (and a better speller) than one of my best days. Let 'em talk about you, it says more about them then it does about you.
I got you, Los!
I understand that eye boogers are high in protein. Lemons to lemonade, you know
My day's been fine so far, thanks for asking. Sorry yours isn't so good. I have had a bit of the lingering post-Christmas, I can't believe another year has gone by so fast, make sure you start 2009 off right anxiety/depression myself, however. Living in light of redemption helps though…
Hope the rest of your day is blessed.
Better than a nose booger.
I spent my morning in a staff meeting praying for other people, including and especially you. With everything going on in my life, that makes today amazing. I will continue to pray everytime you come into my mind.
Okay- honest answer. So far, it is not been great.
-My father who has not seen me or talked to me in over 20 years dropped back into my life, and has now dropped back out. Up until this morning, I had been able to feel nothing about that. Today, I am angry and sad.
-We are waiting to adopt a baby and I know it is impossible that we would get a referral right now, I am just struggling today with missing my baby and wanting to prepare for him, but I can't because I don't know how old he is, anything about him. today I just really want to kiss him.
-I just really want some warm weather, I want to go outside and breathe in and not feel the shock of cold air. I want tomatoes and corn and strawberries. I am tired of chili and winter foods.
-I want my baby home.
-I want some new shoes and I feel guilt for being so materialistic for wanting new shoes, but I still want them.
-I am a girl and have girl issues(if that wasn't already obvious)
- I want my baby home.
sorry i said those things about you.
Both kids are sick and my husband has to work late…ugghhhh – AND I'm feeling very much like I should be nominated for "What Not To Wear" today….
Well it started with me waking up from a dream in which I quit my job in a fit of anger and stormed out, rejecting all offers of help to pack up my stuff. Then I actually had to GO to the job that I dreamt about. And that's where I am now. So yeah.
what is with people talking crap today!?! i feel you. im torn between wanting to punch some people in the baby maker & go somewhere and cry for awhile.
Tough day bro! Motorcycles are my passion, many of my friends have died riding. I can get some relief that they died doing what they loved! It seems Mark loved Jesus as well, be doubly happy he will be roosting in heaven!
I feel sad for you and his friends and family right now, I pray they continue with the thought that Gods timing is perfect and something good will come from Marks passing. My day's are rarely "bad" and could never equal your loss, I am praying for you my friend.
As for the Smack talking……..they are just jealous, I hope to be every bit of the Father you are one day bro! Great job man, you rock with your family, on stage and in life! Keep it up bro!

when u find out someone talks about ya behind ur back it really just puts a stinger in ya….but you have to forgive that person, to keep your own heart right….remember they talked about Jesus and if you be with Him, their gonna talk about you too…forgive, forget and move on with your happy self! Let no-one steal your joy man!
honestly my day sucks. someone said some mean things to me with the intent of hurting me. it's all i've been thinking about all day. trying to pull out of it though.
I'm fine. Thanks for asking.
Now sack up and do what you need to do.
Ha. Awesome.
I've got your back homie… Just felt like you needed some "mandvice". Faith takes balls, right?
having a good day here.
the weather sucks though. cold & blowing snow.
we all have those days though.
i'm hoping to fight mine off though.
I'm sorry that your day has been rough and that there is more tough stuff to come. Hang in there! You know you aren't in it alone…
You are greatly blessed, highly favored and deeply loved by Jesus…..just a reminder, I know I need it when I am having days like yours!
Yours sounds worse than mine, but I've got a major case of pms and just screamed at my man for bringing home a 2 liter bottle of diet pepsi for me rather than a single…. he actually drove to the store only to get me a treat, and I talk to him like dirt…
I am going to be praying for you guys…specifically Nolan and Angie…and the rest of you guys saying goodbye to Mark. I will also pray your eye boogers at least make themselves known by 7am
Cant get motivated to day – soooo distracted by a bunch of stuff that doesnt really matter. I HATE IT when I get like this, hope tomorrow will be better! Thanks for sharin Los!
as much as i hate eye boogers on the face as the next person…nothing beats the disappointment of hearing people are talking shmack behind your back…thats just the uber level of the suck.
must be a bad day kind of a day b/c i woke up to another diaper leak (are we feeding her too much liquid?…ack) = morning bath for baby + laundry…and then it got worse when i yelled at my R for sending an email i was in the middle of (still trying to get my landlord to pay for the mold inspection).
been fighting the lies with truth all day…trouble is keeping up the fight. by grace alone.
well, i slept in, didnt get revision finished for my exam, walked in the pouring rain to my 3 hours exam, finished my exam and left, only to realise afterwards I completely misread a question, then got soaked walking home again…
Pretty normal day here in Orlando, FL. I am on my 10th day of fasting. My church is doing the 21 day Daniel fast. Is anyone doing a similar fast to start the year? If you want to check out my progress through the fast, then go to www. johnnysierra.blogspot.com
working,skipped breakfast,meetings-will pray for you! i'm taking some days off of this interweb to go to the cabin. have fun at I3
Definitely not as bad as yours. Did wake up to temps in the teens and now creeping to the minus category. Had lunch at a chinese rest that is going downhill. Now watching it snow up to 3" with a -15 for tomorrow. But other than that it is a great day! Could be worse you know? Prayers for you at the loss of a friend.
Bad day here too…followed Mark's story from day 1 and prayed continuously…cried last thursday for Angie, Nolan, and everyone else's loss. This morning, the father of a girl in my youth group was killed on a motorcycle on his way to work. Lots of tears and sadness here today.
Well, I'm having a great day. It started with getting 2nd row tix to the Third Day concert in Phoenix, including a Meet & Greet. Then, I had a nice lunch with a new friend from Disciple class.
I'll try to give you a few words of encouragement here…Yesterday I read the book of Jonah for class. Everything was going wrong for Jonah, & he wanted to die; however, Jonah was called upon by God & couldn't escape Him. Jonah means "dove", & a dove is a messenger. You have delivered many important messages that have helped people. Like Jonah, I see you as a dove, but a dove that flies to the Lord, rather than away from Him. Remember my husband's favorite bit of Scripture–Psalm 118:24, as well as mine–Jeremiah 29:11-13. I pray that the coming days will bring you comfort, peace, healing, & understanding.
Hang in there bro! I am praying that the events of the next few days will grow and mature you in unexpected ways. Plus you have enough friends to afford to have a few bums talking bad about you!

Sorry you are having a bad day. Prayers for you as you fly here and attend Mark's service. I know that will be difficult mix of good to see friends but so sad for the circumstances to be together. Day here has been not so great too – our son has severe allergies and wants badly (has been doing online school) to be back on his high school campus. Tried today for 30 minutes and- bam a migraine. He is SO frustrated and prays that somehow he will be able to even tolerate the campus for 2 classes. So he can totally relate to the depression/anxiety that you feel. I am sad for him but have confidence that God will have him be exactly where he needs to be for school.
For you both God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Pslams 46:1
praying for you brother
The sun was beaming through my windows when I woke up this morning… I started rushing to get out and get a much needed vitamin D fix but by the time I hit the street here in Seattle it was all gone. But you know what, I'm pretty sure it kept shining behind the clouds
Praying for you
One word to describe my day.
SUCK
Goodbyes of the funeral variety are never fun, but like mrsDeb said above, even though the clouds are blocking the sun, it continues shining and you'll be shining with it again soon. Praying for you.
Hard day. Kids didn't sleep much last night, so I didn't either. Hubby is sick. Some depression b/c of meds. I'm on. I found out the treatment I have to receive for my cancer requires a quarantine from my kids for 2 weeks (4 days from my hubby) and cried all afternoon. But I'm not burying someone I love. I'm so sorry. I just prayed for you and Mark's family.
I made a 24,000.00 dollar mistake at work today. Involved the Federal Government. I did not have a good day.
I had a good, normal day! I am sorry yours is sucking, travel safe and crack some heads on those folks talking trash!
Don't sweat the peeps talking behind your back. Your blog can beat up their blog.
Praying for you Los. The eye booger thing was pretty funny. Nothing you can do about stupid people talking smack.
Godspeed on your trip. Hold fast–with a collapse now and then.
I know it's already late in the day, but it's been great so far. It's the first full 24 hours of our newborn son, David, at home with us. He's already attended his first doctor's appointment, took his first cloth bath, learned that he may have jaundice, and lots of breastfeeding, pee and poop in between. Parenthood really is the most amazing experience on this planet… now I think I will enjoy your fatherhood journal even more.

Must be something in the air today… My day was kind of yucky, too.
So sorry you are down.
Believing that tomorrow will be a MUCH better day for all of us!
Strangely similar to yours yet also very different. Like you, I am on the other side of the country (in LA), away from family. Unlike you, my burden is one of life. I have this very strange feeling that my life is out here (with my family…definitely not alone). Not the same yet still a heavy burden…
Heavenly Father, please be with Los today. Please keep him hopeful, even as he says goodbye…
We're about $45K in debt. My teenagers are going in a bad direction. I'm trapped in a job I hate that barely puts food on the table. I don't think my wife of 20 years loves me anymore. God is absolutely silent. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
HI, Los, i just knew your blog this afternoon through Jay's blog, i knew jay's blog from grant's blog, and i knew Grant from Israel and new breed's pages..hahaha.. a long journey to find ur blog here. nice to know you anyway!
my day? today i thought if i were God,. i would have been so sad.. many ppl are only enjoying God's gift, without remembering HIm, the Giver. any are lost now. they USED to love GOd. but not again, now. or, they love other things more than they love God.. They don't realize, that Money, fame, love, are from GOd. even when you choose to sleep and miss church' service, then u're not in love anymore with Him, and you don't realize the fact that this life is a GIFT. the ability to sleep well , hey, that's Grace, that's His gift!!not everyone can sleep well,rite? the ability to work, your hands, your foot, your brain ,it's al from GOD!!! but,…. irealized, life's a choice. everybody has their free will to choose. well.. hope you and i would choose to Live in HIS will!!
be blessed.
Liz.
mine was fine… until i came home to find this conversation prompted by my parents on facebook for the whole world to see http://mcgilla.wordpress.com/2009/01/14/uhg-my-pa…
Me too brother! http://superman1224.wordpress.com/2009/01/15/mich…I'll keep you in mind.
right there with you. praying for you right now.
this sounds like my last TWO days! i'm believing TODAY will be a better day tho. be safe
well, i was enrolled at an online school and the curriculum is quite great “”
although online schools are good, i think we also need human interaction which we can only get from offline schools ,”-
