The neighbor (384) had a guest (2024 BMW I4 New York License plate - LZN 2425<\/strong>). I think, who parked in front of our driveway, blocking me entering it from my LA Fitness Gym workout. I had to park in front of him and come out to look for the driver. Good thing the neighbors were outside and saw me. So getting out of the car was the quicker solution. Waiting in the car...wasn't great, as nobody would care, even if I double parked. Was a little agitated so I took this photo. Since they were being apologetic, I was going to tell him to park at the same spot right after I went in, but he left so soon I didn't get a chance. Perhaps I should tune down my anger (due to earlier wait) and be kinder nex time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Crossroads church, Pastor Joe Fischer delivered the sermon on Psalm 46. First time I was able to sort of catch up with Perplexity AI app by asking the AI theological issues related to the message of Psa 46: Particularly about relying on ourselves too much vs. being lazy. It seems to me that churches these days attacks only one extreme side but not the other (i.e. Fischer, Basile on the \"don't rely on ourselves too much side). We should ask, particularly folks at Crossroads (as Nadia rightly observed that Crossroads lack faith while GCC lacks work<\/strong>), that what is your refuge<\/strong>, if you lost all these worldly stuff? Your family? Your spouses? Your jobs?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
