What is going on?

Right now I am finishing up this semester with many service project with my junior high kids. I love to serve. My prayer is that my students will get into serving as well. I have the best boss who rarely ever tells me no. I do feel pretty good where I am today.

Christmas Musical is going on at church. We had a technical rehearsal tonight. It was the best so far since I have been at East Cobb. Ray Hawkins does a great job directing and putting this thing together. I think he is my long lost brother from another mother. He does a lot of good. I trust this about him, and love partnering with at East Cobb.

Christmas and a new year is upon us. I am going to be taking it easy. 2009 should be a great year for me. I don't know why, but I just believe it should be a great year. I will turn 38. I am looking forward to it instead of dreading it like the last 2 years. We will have to see what God has planned for me next year.

I am very happy being in a country that is suppose to be struggling financially, give as it does around this time of year. I worked today in a local ministry that serves as a food bank and to witness the good spirit of the people is amazing. God is Good!

Be safe this holiday!

Non Smokers Unite!

Recently, I needed to rent a car and my experience was not pleasant at the beginning. The lady at the counter acted as though I was bothering her by renting a vehicle. Nobody was around, and I still to this day don't know if they had just had a rush and she was tired. I started my normal "Howdy" with a smile, and she proceeds to look at me like I was on drugs. Anyway, she assigns me a car, and I go check it out. It reeked of a smoke smell. I don;t know maybe one of the workers who had a smoke got into the car the cigarette smoked remained in the car when I got there. I went back to the counter to my very pleasant worker(HA!) to tell her about the smoke smell. She asked if smoked bothered me. The key chain that I had in my hand had a nosmoking sign on it- I was nice and said yes the smoke smell bothers me. This would be a first occurrence for me. I have heard of people checking into hotels that the only rooms left were smoker ones. I got a new car. I continued to smile at the counter worker. I just think we that are non-smokers need to unite. We need to tell smokers and whoever that it does bother me. All three of my sisters smoke, and I don't allow them in my car. The smell is in their clothes. I thought I would share that today!

Great service today! Dr. Ray Hawkins does such a great job.

Big River play is coming up. I am busy memorizing lines and music. I will be glad when it is over. I have been very busy here in January. Basketball, Play, church, and family have consumed me this month.

Have a great week!
