Is Friday getting any closer?

I've had my head in my fruit of the looms this week. I have been off a day, all week long. Even though I was helping with the Oasis meal (and I know it is served on Wednesday night) my brain was convinced yesterday was Thursday. I may go on strike tomorrow!

If I understood correctly, last evening Oasis meal was the last one until school begins in the fall. Originally they had one more scheduled but I believe I overheard Holly saying the eleventh was it. With the colleges out for summer last nights attendance was way, way down. Last night the classes had the best turnout to host that I have ever seen. We had a surplus of people, which was nice. This outreach is a lot of work but it is fulfilling to participate in.

The remainder of my week is up in the air. We have had people and equipment scattered all over the five state region and we are stretched really thin. Add to this the fact that the owner is having to work at the Co-op farm store and it could mean I have to help out! I am currently watching the clock and monitoring telephone calls to see if a truck makes it in from Colorado in time to pick up an afternoon can load. Can't let that production line stop because of us!

We are going through a lot of personnel turn-over at the present time. We have three drivers who have quit or given notice in the past two weeks. Two were good hands, the third was along for the ride. Last evening when I left Oasis if made a stop and delivered an application to a prospect and conducted the initial interview. I am in hopes we can get this driver qualified quickly. In addition to this, we are running an ad in Sunday's newspaper for drivers and owner operators. That should generate some activity for next week.

The trucking company's owner attended a board meeting for the co-op this morning. At that time he submitted his resignation as general manager. He has been struggling with this decision for several weeks. Hopefully his disposition will improve.

FATHER, we have much work to reclaim this week! Guide me as we get to it! I pray for those in need of YOUR healing as well as those who need YOUR comfort. I ask for YOUR presence for those of us struggling in our journey with YOU. I pray for our spiritual family and our leaders. To YOU be the glory!
