Ah. Saturday. If heaven was a day it would be Saturday.

O.K., I am going through withdrawal. Nearly every day almost at the exact same spot of the road on my way to work, the radio plays the same song.

If heaven was an hour, it would be twilight, when the fireflies start
dancing on the lawn.

And suppers on the stove and mamma's laughing, and
everybody's working day is done.

If heaven was a town, it would be my town
.........

If heaven was a pie it would be cherry.............

Andy Griggs is the artist, the song name is If Heaven, on the "This I gotta see" CD. I am in the mood to look for a book for this week and I just might look for the afore mentioned CD too.

I am so thankful this past week is behind us. It will go in the record book as a tough one. It would appear that it spread into at least the first portion of next week as well. As I had stated earlier, we seem to be cycling through some personnel turnover. I am not surprised. Many of these truck drivers float from place to place, often between the same group of employers. One year is a pretty long time, two years at the same place pretty rare, and anything longer is extremely rare! Two drivers had recently quit, one did it right and gave two weeks notice, the other just walked away. A third one gave his two week notice Tuesday evening. The third one's two weeks became accelerated as he told us late Friday that he was through. It sure makes you want to call his new employer and ask for a "do over" as one of his employment references. I don't have a problem with someone improving their situation, but be honorable and honest.

When I left the office it appeared that both the business owner and I were going to have to fill in, at least for the first portion of the week. I figure it will be Tuesday at the earliest before we can have pre-employment drug test results back on the first prospect. This man's notice to his current employer concludes this coming Wednesday. We are beginning the big crescendo toward Memorial Day. It is really interesting to watch from where we are at. Our transfer of soft drink cans has increased from thirteen million last week to sixteen million this week and apparently will continue to twenty million cans per week for the next two weeks! LUCY, that's a lot of POP! Now that I am looking at the written words, I bet the owner and I fill in all week!

A company has commissioned me to find a truck for them. I have been looking and placing bids on their behalf on Ebay. I have never ventured into Ebay prior to this but good golly, it could be habit forming. Not necessarily by buying things but by playing the game and pushing other people's bids up! It appears some people work this really really hard!

By the way, Krl found her misplaced item! Thank GOD.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Enjoy!

FATHER, I pray for a blessed weekend! I continue to ask that YOU renew me, physically, mentally, spiritually. I pray for Krl and her health, physically, mentally, and spiritually. I pray for those near and dear that are in need of YOUR miracle of healing. I pray for those saddened by loss and I ask that YOU surround them with YOUR love, mercy and grace. I pray for YOUR presence in the lives of those of us who are struggling in our walk with YOU. I pray for our spiritual family and our leaders. I pray for those dedicated to expanding YOUR kingdom. FATHER, fill us with YOUR spirit, and surround us with YOUR band of angels!
