Goodbye IBM. These are things I will miss about you:
5. Monthly beer breaks.
4. Free diversity group lunches.
3. Coworkers' office candy.
2. Miss Saigon lunches.
1. China Bay lunches.
Really though, I've been blessed to have this job, to take away these experiences, and to fund a tiny tiny bit of my schooling.

Someone pinch me.
Psalm 92
1 It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High,
2 to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night,
3 to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp.
4 For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD; I sing for joy at the works of your hands.
5 How great are your works, O LORD, how profound your thoughts!
Someone pinch me, God is way too good to me!!!

Sweetly Broken.
At the cross You beckon me
You draw me gently to my knees, and I am
Lost for words, so lost in love,
I’m sweetly broken, wholly surrendered.

El Charro.
WARNING: If you are at work and hungry, you will probably hate me for the following post :o)
Out-of-town visitors are the best excuse to play $40 A Day in your own town. (If you don't know what $40 A Day is SHAME on you!) Last week I took a friend to El Charro, home of the chimichanga. She had the Topopo salad, I had the Bahia tacos. And yes, I ate it all.
Established in 1922, El Charro Café of Tucson, Arizona is The Nation's Oldest Mexican Restaurant in continuous operation by the same family, featuring traditional Sonoran cultural style and innovative Tucson style Mexican Food, El Charro is truly as Gourmet Magazine wrote: "A Taste Explosion".
Topopo salad: Salad of fresh mixed greens, seasonal fruits, avocado, and grilled chicken stacked on a crispy tortilla wafer dressed with mango vinaigerette. 
Bahia tacos: Three warm corn tortillas, two filled with grilled white fish, and one filled with grilled Sonoran steak. All topped with fresh pico de gallo, shredded cabbage, and EXTRA LIMES of course!7.10.2006
You promised.
I was afraid and You promised, "Daughter, do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God." Isa 41:10
I was anxious and You promised, "Daughter, I have made everything beautiful in its time." Ecc 3:11
I was tired and You promised, "Daughter, come to me... and I will give you rest." Matt 11:28
I was weak and You promised, "Daughter, My grace is sufficient, My power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Cor 12:9
Father, you quieted my heart. You drowned out the noise so I could hear Your whisper.
And You promised, 'Daughter, I am preparing the way. See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared." Ex 23:20

Your rich Father.
Judges 3
7 The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD; they forgot the LORD their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs. 8 The anger of the LORD burned against Israel so that he sold them into the hands of Cushan-Rishathaim king of Aram Naharaim, to whom the Israelites were subject for eight years. 9 But when they cried out to the LORD, he raised up for them a deliverer, Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, who saved them. 10 The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, so that he became Israel's judge and went to war. The LORD gave Cushan-Rishathaim king of Aram into the hands of Othniel, who overpowered him. 11 So the land had peace for forty years, until Othniel son of Kenaz died.
How often do we forget the Lord and serve our own idols... our wants, our desires, our plans, our own ambitions? Each time we cry out to the Lord He hears us. And not only does He hear us, He saves us, He anoints us, and He increases our territory. God has given His children an inheritance, He has given us riches, but so often the world claims our inheritance as its own. The world uses our inheritance for worldly ambitions, for purposes unholy and unsightly in God's eyes.
Reclaim your inheritance. Reclaim the talents and the gifts and the self-confidence and the joy and the hope that God has given you.
The time is now, reclaim what is rightfully yours.
