Otis Reading made famous one of the dumbest songs--Sittin' on the dock of the bay.   In my humble opinion that song is just about the most pointless song every.   One comedian (sorry, I can't remember who), said, it might just as well have said:  "I'm sittin in my easy chair, I get up and I walk over there.   I turn my head and look all around, I walk back and I sit right down."   And he's right, it really would be just as meaningful.
 
I say all that to say, that song has been in my head a lot.   But I guess my version would be: "I'm sittin' in a chair on the deck, should I get up, well, what the heck.   The waiter brings me drinks on demand, I've always got a glass in my hand."    Dumb song...

what you've been taking any longer."

What have you done for me lately?

I had a boss once that would wander into my office and abruptly ask: "How much money have you raised for me today?"   The best part (or maybe worst part) is he was serious.   He was not interested in yesterday, much less last week.  We wanted to know about today.  

There is no (zip, zero, zilch) doubt in my mind that God's blessings flow onto, over, and through us everyday. But even if my mind and heart testify to God's unfailing love, my sin nature will from time-to-time blindly ask: "What have you done for me lately?"

In the 117th Psalm, we see great advice to remember if, like me, you ever have those moments.   Below you will find my version of it.   I took three translations (NIV, KJB, NASB) and merged them together to form a version I like the sound of:

1O praise the LORD, all ye nations;

Laud Him, all peoples!

2For His loving kindness is great toward us,

and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever.

Praise ye the LORD.
 





Need I say more?





If you like bargains, but aren't looking for anything specifically, or RIGHT NOW; then www.woot.com might be a good site for you to look at every day.    This site has ONE item on sale everyday.   That item is normally significantly reduced in price.   For the most part, the stuff is new, but at times the products are reconditioned or refurbished--they are always clearly noted as such.

You can't be in a hurry, but if you want to new printer, but don't really need one....keep looking.   When I was writing this piece they were offering a new Kodak Easy Share All in One Printer for only $59.99.  But, once the supply is gone, they are gone.

And, if you're lucky, you'll happen on the page in the midst of a "Woot-Off".  During these days, they will throw up varied items, 1 at a time, and sell them for a ridiculously low price until they're gone, at which point they feature a new item.  Could last 5 minutes, could last an hour, you never know! And, you get so caught up that you never want to leave in fear of losing out on that one deal you could never live without.
 
It is a fun look each day.   Bookmark it and check it out...you never know what you might 'need'.
