Tuesday

I think it is time for a new font. Come new font of Tuesday writing.

Today went by so quickly. We had a Ministries Staff meeting this morning and I actually had a ministry item to share. That doesn't happen too often. I mean who gets great joy out of the report, I reconciled the AM EX bill today and I am getting ready to do culinary services requests. Don't get me wrong, I know that is ministry but I am more comfortable and better at relationships. I was able to share about Cafe Ascend on Sunday night. There were more people than usually come and seemed like people slowed down their exit just a bit. We had the regular iced coffee and lemonade with the additional flavored coffees by Micah. I don't think there was a drop left of any beverage. I also met several Former Students, that is an Aggie who has graduated as opposed to Ex Students who claim the burnt orange for the Alma mater, for those of you who don't live in Texas.

When I got out of the meeting around 11:00 I was off to a lunch meeting with Lisa, Jenn and Laurie. We had a blast! Laurie so aptly noted we were being observed by two different tables...one who wanted us to be quieter and the other table that wanted to come on over and join in the fun. We shared laughter and some bread pudding... all of us got the Cilantro Lime Shrimp Salad and Laurie and I could not resist the crab bisque. I love that we are four women of four different ages, but we share in common our love of the one true God. I think He was having a good time right there with us. Laurie had to leave right after lunch and well so did I. I mean really you don't want your tithe dollars at work at The Nord...or do you?

My cousin Becky left the rank of blog reader and made a comment. Thank you Becky, bloggers love to read comments and know who is making them. My cousin Becky is so talented and gifted musically. She went to Moody Bible College. I don't know if there is an instrument she doesn't know how to play. I of course am gifted with musical ability of the rhythm sticks and I can clang a mean triangle. So now I am calling out my cousin Lois who may or may not be as good as me on the rhythm sticks. :)

I love reading the LProof blog but especially love it when Beth refers to a store as the Walgreen's or the Kroger. Especially love THE KROGER! Peggy and I started using"the" in front of stores for M&G, then Lisa and I started referring to stores with THE... it blesses me, I don't know why, but it does.

This afternoon I took the time to thank God for my friends. I have been so blessed and fortunate to have such wonderful friends. My buddy CM brings me great joy and laughter...he laughs at all my jokes and yet thinks there is some spiritual depth to me. I love discussing books with him and when he comes down from the third floor to our office...it is pure joy. One of my favorite things we ever did was play catch in the choir room. He is right, throwing a baseball does help you think and come up with ideas.

Well, I am off to Bible study. Of course the consistent thing about me and Bible study is...I did not do the homework. Something about homework takes me back to my school days...didn't like it back then either, but it was for grades not spiritual growth.
