The best thing about working is developing an appreciation for days off! I loved having Sunday and Monday off! It was tremendous, stupendous, outstanding! The worst thing about working is having to go back to work after a couple of days off! We are counting down at 43 more transfers! I figure it at seven full days and the eighth will be a half with clean up and the end!

This is probably going to be one of those rambling blogs, there is a lot rolling around in my mind and anyone who knows me knows how much room there is in there!

I was so surprised Sunday when the budget and finance team reported at Highland. This years budget is 2.7 Mil. I knew Cope was compensated but I had no idea! I want a job like that, three hours a week! Just kidding Mike! I know that it is a demanding job and I appreciate the fact that it is one that you desire! O.K. back to the budget! GOD's business is BIG business. I like the fact that Highland is reaching out. I pray for all the Ministries and all the Ministers and Shepherds.

I seem to remember a few days ago promising a dirty story to satisfy everyone! No, not that kind of dirty. This one is the laundry story about Chris, my nephew. To refresh, Chris is legally blind, he attended college this past year (o.k., if they allow him to return he will be a third semester freshman at Sam Houston State University, he has an appointment to meet with the Dean and plead his case this Thursday or Friday, GOD needs to take charge here and give Chris some direction.). Chris' claim to fame is he did laundry ONE time in a fifteen week semester! He claims that there are about eight sides to every piece of clothing! right side, wrong side, front side, back side, inside outside, left side (we already have a right side), o.k. I can only count seven. Chris says if you can't make a "pair of jeans last a week "you ain't tryin'". Now this is where Chris' mom and I part company. Chris has been home for almost a month and she has just now caught up with his semester of laundry! I told her I would haul his scrawny butt down to the laundry mat and deposit him there until he had washed and dried and folded every piece of laundry! ........Chris is so thankful he lives with his mom!

FATHER, it was a tremendous day! I had a hard time getting out of the bed, you rested me so well! FATHER thank you for the productive day, and the safe day. FATHER, I am working myself out of a job. I know you will provide. I don't mind working FATHER. If you present the opportunity, I accept the challenge and I thank you. FATHER, I love you because you loved me first. I thank you for JESUS and for the hope and promise I have through him. Surround me with your angels FATHER!
