Spent Saturday and most of Sunday up in Conyers with Josh and Sabrina. Worked all Friday night...took a shower and packed, followed them up in the truck, transporting the Big Blue sofa...Went to check out Hobby Lobby and all the wonderful Christmas decorations and ideas for the wedding! Ate, played, went to Walmart, of course....Slept for a short, very short while..got up at 0500 to get ready for Sunday service...Went to Cracker Barrel for pre-service fellowship and breakfast...more for the coffee...Set up for the 3Rd preview service of Discover Point....Set up the nursery...Was Blessed with God showing up...smaller service this week...but the Music and Sermon ROCKED!!!! God was there and smiling!!!! Hope Phillip's back is better...pinched a nerve or something... Went out to eat with loads of people...at O'Charleys...yum...it was good...Took a nap...way too short...and went to Lisa and David's to play Poker and fellowship...Had a nice time. Got home around 10:00 pm...watched the news... Pray for the people in and around New Orleans...Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida....The devastation of Hurricane Katrina is awful!!!! Went to bed and slept until after 0900...could still be sleeping if I had not had to get up for the dog and my bladder...smile...TMI, huh??!  

Laundry is taking over this house....Taking it easy today....on my second cup of coffee...Hope to spend lots of time with my relationship with God...Always need to work on that part of my life!!! Never can spend TOO much time with HIM!!! Everyone stay focused....Take the path to fulfilling your purpose in this life...Bless those all around you...Walk the walk...Talk the talk....Live the Life....Share God's Love and His Joy....Smile from the inside out....Love to all...

Had lots of rain and storms yesterday and last night....Non-productive day....Have to catch up on laundry...fun... And get ready to rock-n-roll at work tonight...way too many changes going on to suit me...I don't like change!!! But the way this world is...change happens all the time, whether I like it or not....Guess I'll just be working to be off this week-end...like most folks do. My fingers are so dyslexic this day....or my brain is very uncoordinated and half-asleep...LOL...That could be the reason....Need Caffeine!!

Supposed to go up to Conyers Saturday...if nothing goes wrong this week...Few wedding plans and discussions to work out. Church service this Sunday...Found out Kathleen's Homecoming service is September 11...Same day as Discover Church first regular service...Oh well...Ms Eleanor wanted me to tell Josh and Sabrina to come for Homecoming...But I told them about the first service and they wouldn't be able to...Ms MAry and Ms Ruth asked about them too...Ms MAryann also...

Proverbs chapter 23 today's study lesson....Good reading. Got through 3 magazines yesterday....About 15 more to go....I need a life...LOL... Everyone have a most Blessed day...Stay cool and hydrated....Keep Smiling from the inside out and continue to Bless those around you....Share the Love and the Joy of our Heavenly Father...Later...

Monday Post: I'm off tonight!!!!! YEAH!!!! After 7 days in a row...I'm tired..... Laundry to complete....Have a load of magazines to go through and read...Bible study to finish and pray on....A new novel to start....and just want to veg out on the sofa! The week-end wasn't too bad...kind of quiet, actually...and we do not use the Q word very often...it is the superstition...means it will get crazy-like....Just like the full moon rumors...which are TRUE!!!

Perry won their first football game...Will wonders ever cease. Warner Robins beat HOCO.... Not sure about Northside....

All kinds of changes coming about at the hospital....Doing away with House Supervisors...Going back to Charge Nurses each shift...Will have to relief-charge sometimes...UGH!!!! Too much responsibilites....Losing our 11-7 Ward-clerk....I was the first 11-7 night time secretary they hired back in 1991...Hate to see the position go by the wayside.... Too many things to get done....Oh well.... The bottom line prevails....$$$     Just hope the patients do not get the brunt of the changes and the result being negative on their part....Can only do what is necessary and Pray about it....

Hope everyone stays cool....stay inside...drink plenty of fluids.....take frequent breaks if you have to be outside any...go to the shade.....Pray for any early Fall....Have an Awesome week.... Stay focused...Smile from the inside out...Share God's Love, His Joy and His Word with all you come in contact with..... Be the Blessing He intends you to be.... Be the Beacon for the Kingdom.... Love like there is no tomorrow....Later.....

I am supposed to be off tonight, but they would rather pay me overtime than to pay agency to come help out...So I am going in to work tonight....Paycheck should be better after taking all that time off a couple of weeks ago!!$$$ Not all about greed.....It is supposed to be another scorching hot southern summer day...I'll just enjoy my air conditioner, Thank you...                 

I am so Happy to be loved by my heavenly Father.....Who knows me, loves me inspite of my faults and human nature. I so want to be the child he created me to be, to strive for His purpose, designed just for me...to be obedient, to love as HE would have me love....to honestly walk the walk, talk the talk and share His Love and His Joy with all of those I come in contact with. May my relationship with Him be the one He desires......May I visit the cross of Calvary daily.....May I fall to my knees, planting my face on the ground and pray daily, and diligently for those in need, for those who are lost and are refusing to realize the actual truth....for those who fall short in the eyes of God and fall short in their daily lives......May we all be the children He wishes for us to be....and fulfill our purpose here in this earth....to one day, join all together in our Eternal Home.....AMEN!!!!!

Everyone have a most  Blessed day.....Lisa, continue to smile......Sabrina, ace the interview today at Cracker Barrel.....Josh, continue to support and love those around you.....Live up to your potential.....Check out the school catalogs.....Drive carefully....Smile from the inside out.....Bless those all around you.....Later.....

I find more and more, that when I attempt to make my own decisions, I make mistakes. Even when I ask for God's guidance, I do not actually hear His answer in all matters...and I plow through life haphazardly...zig zagging on a path of my own making...But I do eventually learn from these mistakes.....Which may actually be God's plan all along...Hmmmmmm. I'll have to think and pray on that revelation.

It's Monday...again. Did not get much sleep...stayed up reading a good book...watched 2 movies and saw the sun come up this morning....Took a 4 hr nap and will have to get another one later this evening...My brain and body require this of me.

Everyone have a most Awesome week....So excited about Discover Point's second service!!! God showed up and Lead the way...SO proud of everyone.....Know God was and is Smiling.....Keep Blessing all of those you come in contact with....Smile from the inside out.....Visit the Cross daily.....Share GOD's Love and His Joy.....Later......

Ciccada's are making their yearly racket this morning....Is that the essence of the coming death? Hmmm...poetic, huh? My allergies are kicking up something fierce....Like a broken faucet....

Alot of different things awakening this day....feels a little like fall...not quite ready to show up.....but what is to come....soon I can only hope. Probably just a little less humid, that's all...

Laundry to do....Fun.... Coffee is done. Going to enjoy a cup, study Proverbs 14 today....Ponder the day....

Everyone have a great and awesome day....Enjoy spending time with family and loved ones....Stay focused, Keeping Blessing those around you.... Smile from the inside out....Later....

Another day....More sunshine, warmer...a lot like summer is supposed to be...not the moldy, wet, damp, overcast days of these weeks past....

Got to work last night, a co-worker called to ask me to take her place, since the census was too low to allow 4 nurses on the floor....Hopefully I will make a full week, without using any PAL time....(personal accrued leave= vacation time).

Please Place my Sister Sue on your prayer lists....She tripped on a treadmill at a local Wellness Center yesterday... and freaky-like, broke her left shoulder in 2 different places.... She has some different kind of health issues, suffers with Lupus...and just recovered, slightly from a car wreck a few weeks ago....She is wondering and pondering on what God would like for her to learn at this time....But she, and I especially, would appreciate your prayers for her recovery and her discovery....Pray for husband Jim too, he will have to take up the slack and help drive her around until she gets clearance from the the physicians....The man has the patience of Job.....Also, pray for the loan application for my re-financing for my house...the process has slowed down a bit....nothing to worry about...just slow going at this time....

Everyone enjoy this gorgeous day.....For it was created by God, for our pleasure and our environment is important to Him...our well being is important to Him...we are important to Him....Because we belong to Him....How grateful I am for that fact....For without God in myLife I would still be lost....thinking, foolishly, that I had everything I needed...I knew everything...and I didn't need anyone to help me or be on my side... I was in control....HA HA...I took care of everything....Ms independent....LOL..See I keep telling you all that God does have a great sense of humor....I see it every waking moment....And because I am getting wise in my old age....I can laugh along with Him....Everyone stay focused....Love to all...Later.... Keep smiling..... 

Whew!!! Survived first night back....Not to shabby...slow, uneventful...Patient's all behaved and survived. Wore a new pair of my lime green Crocs to work...lovely, felt like I was walking on feathers...pretty good, since when I got to work, there was a torential downpour and I had to literally swim in....I was soaked all the way up to my knees...so I squished around for most of the night...socks never did dry out! Feet were a little pruney looking...guess I will have to keep an extra pair of socks in my bag...(hmmm, good idea....) If the census stays where it is, I will probably be off tonight...lucky me, be off for 2 weeks, work one night and then be off...crazy, huh??!! Our friend Charles is leaving the complex at the end of this week...SO SAD!!!! He is one of the best Supervisors and nurses we have...but since he graduated, he has an opportunity to go to Coliseum....stretch his wings and fly into new territory...Hope they appreciate him...cuz' we could have kept him, if only someone would have made the perverbial offer and realized what we are losing...Oh well...Praying for him in his new position...and praying for us, with whoever they attempt to replace him with....Going to throwdown a party, of sorts on Wednesday night...bringing all kinds of goodies...cake and ice cream...getting him a going away gift....

Today is my youngest neice, Jill's birthday...I remember her birth...I was staying with my sister and her husband in Falls Church, VA the summer of 1972....She was born at Bethesda Naval Hospital early in the morning...I was taking care of big sister Jann, who was not yet 3 yrs old. Lord, I feel so  old......Jill is such a special young lady...tells it like it is...a wonderful advocate for all children, especially those underpriveledged and mentally or physcally handicapped....She teaches Special Education, in a City school....very Urban....She gets an education on a daily basis. She's teaching the Autistic class this year and is so excited about it....She is one of God's angels on this earth...a little rough around the wings and halo, but nevertheless, still an angel! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JILLIE BUG!!!!!

Praying everyone stays safe...stays focused....fulfills their Godly purpose....Blesses those around them...and smiles big ole" toothy smiles from the inside out...Share God's Love and his Joy....Be the beacon for the Kingdom....You may be the only Word of God some people may ever see....Walk the walk...Talk the talk...Live the life....Praying and loving everyone out there...Later taters....and tots....
