Sunday Summary

Pickles and peppermint.

Never EVER heard of such a thing until Pastor Rickie Rush, of the Inspiring Body of Christ Church, brought it up as part of his sermon today. Hmm. Pastor Rush showed how tip off one end and then put in a stick of peppermint IN the pickle. Uck. wasn't feelin' that. Yet it was the sweet you try to get to through the bitter. The sermon itself was GREAT--to understand why you're going thru what you're going through. How YOU got yourself there. That hurt, yet true. To find out why and how, ask God to reveal. I about burst into tears. Cause I need aLOT of reveal. :) Very good sermon. I sat beside a first time visitor couple who expected their first baby on May 3rd. Sweet.

I am SO glad I have the week off. Wednesday is my birthday. Hmm. I may have mentioned it. A time or two. Anyway, there's little things I need to do. Things to think about how I get on with this life I have.

Sure, I still reel from the ill fated decisions I made a few days ago. However, I know God is with me. Plus I've learned more about me. That was another part of Pastor Rickie Rush's sermon too: Perhaps your situation is God's way to show you a new way of thought needs to occur.

I can get that. The notes from today will be a definite re-read. The sermon hit all the way home. What I needed, like the chat from yesterday: to get all the way out of my comfy cozy box.

In the meantime, the sun still shines on this Sunday. Kinda windy and a bit chilly, yet could be worse.

It's not.

Gonna go enjoy the rest of the day the Lord has made--well, except for pickles and peppemint.

Wait! I take that back. If the pickles are on a hamburger from the best burger place in Dallas, Burger Island and the peppermint flavor is in a latte: then we're set!

I am blessed.

Monday Madness

You head out the door to your Pumpkin to drive to work. You really didn't want to go anyway, because you've been pretty much awake since 3:45 that morning. Due to having to make a potty run, and not quite falling back asleep. You ease closer to your Pumpkin and you see it. A flat. You call your boss to inform her you'll be at Shawshank as soon as you get someone to change it. You're usually a strong Chaka Khan I'm every kinda woman, however mechanics, of any kind, are your not your thing. This morning, you are a damsel in distress. You're just glad you're distressing in your drive way. Anyway, the second you hang up with your boss, the lights flicker and off goes your electricity. This is 7:45 am. You're afraid you missed the electric bill disconnect bill, when you're usually so good about. :) You realize your Pumpkin still has some warranty, so you call Road Side Assistance. You're told it would be 40 minutes. They lied. The guy didn't show until about 9:30ish--due to being with the last customer. He wasn't bad looking, so you overlook it. After her fixes your tire, he tells you three times however if you have any trouble, just give him a call. Maybe the guy was being nice. You get to work after a stop at 7-11 for a white cupcake cappuccino--you're kinda ticked because the pumpkin latte was replaced with french vanilla. So you get to work by 10:45. You know you should stay to make up time. You leave at your usual 4:30. Oh well. There's trash to put by the curb, salad to eat, cats to pet, Young and the Restless to watch because Lilly now knows Billy is Chloe's baby Daddy, and poor forgetful Mrs. C has been kidnapped, Jill thinks the DNA results she's told are true, and.....well, there's just things you need to do.

Cue up Chaka Khan.
