Well, Meme and I talked with Reid last night. He had a baseball game. Rian had told me Reid hit another home run but their team got beat. 17-1. They haven't won a game all year, but that is O.K.. That is two games in a row Reid has hit a homer. Meme and Dandy sent him cash (at Dad's request) so Reid was thanking us for his dollars! Rian said KB had given him a twenty dollar bill for his birthday and someone else had given him five or ten, but Reid was telling everyone he had two dollars! (meaning two bills).

I did get to talk with Holt while Reid was coming to the phone. Holt is the talker. He was telling me he had been eating cake. The boy loves cake. I went to their house one time and on the way I stopped and bought a cake. It wasn't anyone's birthday. I just know they love cake!

I have been working in the truck office most of the day. I am fixing to go to one of the shops and check on a repair ticket and a truck that had to go in for them to do the same repair again.

Krl and Trc have been trying to expand their base. Right now their biggest problem is not enough telephone lines. We had put a call in to Suddenlink for an additional line, piggy backed on our original number. After their technician scheduled and rescheduled and a week went by, they are telling us they can't do what we need to do. So, we are going to pull the voice line from our bundle (we are leaving the fax line) and return it to AT&T with the new line and let them roll over. It is crazy, but we have had something similar before only to have had it changed when the kids were gone.

I don't know, maybe Krl and I are going through our second childhood.

I have been having a personal ordeal lately, catching myself trying to force what I think I want or need. I have caught myself think a lot about the LORD's prayer, particularly the phrase "thy will be done". I find myself often trying to convince the LORD to see things my way. It is sobering to think who I have been trying to make a deal with. Who am I to question him? I think often times we get all caught up in what we want and not what we need. Maybe we need a job, but we want a title. Often times I have found more fulfillment in a job that didn't pay as much or wasn't as glamorous as others. ( I still think one of my most fun jobs was delivering flowers.).

I am making an effort to pray "thy will be done" without trying to influence where GOD is taking me. This may be one of those ordeals I struggle with.

Have a day!

FATHER, THY will be done. Forgive me when I question you.
