Chicken update: We're still alive. Guess pink chicken isn't all that bad after all. Because the chicken we ate (after seeing it in better light) sure was pink, bloody, and kind of slimy.

Recently, I've been trying to get into the habit of turning off my stereo in my car on my way to work to spend my short commute praying. It's been really refreshing, and it really helps me to get into the mindset of my purpose for being at work. I think just especially over the past couple of months, I've been frustrated with myself because I know I should be praying more, yet I don't. I remember reading once a few years ago (although I can't remember where) that prayer should be like the blood that runs through our veins - it is essential to our life in Christ, and it should be continuous, even if we are not conscious of it - but for me, I think often times I must have a clot in my artery or something, becuase the blood sure isn't flowing. Anyway, just a random thought. I need to pray more.
