Is it time for a new car?

I don't know what it is, but I have have the urge to buy a "new car to me". I love my explorer. It has been good to me. Here is what I got- you can help me decide: Problems: New tires soon" I did a 360 today getting off of the highway after church. ($400 to replace all 4 tires) Driver seat is broken( It is like a rockin chair)($250 to fix) Gas mileage is less than 20 miles per gallon( So, a gallon a day- I am currently burning) Stoppage of the wife hunt- No woman will want to ride in my explorer in it's current state.

It could be me, or seeing to many car commercials. I hope you saw "New to me" new car. What do you think? I know I should get more responses since I put the wife hunt in there. We will see. I will try to post some pictures tomorrow. Meanwhile, I'll just pray and be content that I have a car that runs.

Is this really me?

Friday!

Well, it has been a week already. I am sitting in my office just being very thankful for the very life that God has given me. I have wonderful students and a fantastic job. I think tonight will be a night to go out and see a movie. Have not done that in awhile. Can we say steak for dinner? Normally, on Friday's I am exhausted, but today I'm feeling pretty good.

Service, Service, Service is what I am doing with the kids right now. We were going to Rainbow Omega tomorrow but It was cancelled. I have a free Saturday, which is rare. I will catch up on some sleep, and spend some time with my nephews.

I just got a great idea. I will go and pick up my nephews for a boys weekend. You know the kind which includes video games, eating out, and sporting event. I think that is what I will do. Thank you for joining me in my thinking out loud moment. Have a bless weekend!

New Orleans, School, and Service

I am learning a lot as I am getting older about people.  I don't want my world to be small.  I like a big world where God is.  I just returned from New Orleans where I learned how to give God the glory for the very life I am living.  The people there are incredible.  I am about to lead a group in a few months back there to experience the real side of New Orleans.  

Nothing really matters to me as I compare what life is like back here in Georgia.  We have more than we need, and we want more.  I am blessed.  I know this, and my prayer is that my students will see how blessed they are and want that same blessing for others.  I do believe a man should work, but what I saw in New Orleans were a group of people loving where they are and wanting to continue life right there in New Orleans.  Wow!  

I returned a changed man today!  A man that could now see a bigger value in having a partner to work with to help all people.  I am not sure that has always been my focus.  My eyes have been open, and my prayer is that God is in control and as I make myself a better person, he will send on his time someone to continue my journey with while here on earth.  Wow!

I do have a real big problem.  My problem is that I love making things better whether people want it or not.  I have to learn to lead a quiet life, mind my own business and work with my hand.  I believe that is scripture right there.  May you join me in praying that I learn this and apply it to my everyday life.  

Go live for God!

What a day!

I have had one of those days. You know that day that everywhere you turn there is a problem. I still doing good today. I am gong to leave work and go to my favorite restaurant- "Cracker Barrel". I guess most people drown their sorrows with alcohol, Food would be my choice. I do justify it by saying, I got to eat somewhere why not my favorite. Those of you concerned about me blowing my diet, don't worry, I'm not on one. I look this good without dieting! HA!

I will be heading to New Orleans this week to survey our mission trip during winter break. I look forward to our kids going, and watching along side of them as they experience helping those they do not know. This is why I love my job(ministry) so much. I get to do so many great things!

Dating, Dating, Dating! It this is all I will say about that!

Church is good. We are getting ready for our Christmas Musical!

Family is not bad, they love to give me true's about myself. I need to share it with you one of these days. Not today, I'm going to Cracker Barrel!
