I haven't posted in several days, and I know you all just wait with bated breath until you get to read my next profound statement! (Oh...visions of my own grandeur!) I'm not sure how often I'm going to get to this in the next few weeks, and my brain is bursting with ideas to write about...hopefully my 35 year old mind will remember all my thoughts. (Okay, let's just pretend I'm having a senior moment and forgot how old I really am!) Okay, I'm delerious, I admit it, but I'm SO busy!!! Steve Sikes spoke about fervent prayer last weekend, well I'm in fervent work mode.
Next week is Mal's play...and even though I tried not to, I got sucked into the "Theater Guild" which is the parent organization that supports the drama productions at the high school...basically a "booster club." I started out by volunteering to run the flower concessions at the plays...I figured twice a year, and I'm done. I specifically told them I did not want anymore responsibility than that...I'm now the treasurer...(okay, I admit it, Dave created all the spread sheet programs for me...but my name's on the account!) AND I'm also now the V.P....don't ask. So I am "fervently" working on all of that.
AND...as all you Pitman folk know...I'm working on the Women's Retreat...(SHAMELESS PLUG... Please get your scripture references in by Nov. 23rd!) I have a title for that event too...I'm the "Retreat General"...which means I get to boss the "Queen" around...but don't tell her that, she's under the delusion that she's actually in charge!
I really do love being busy...maybe someday I'll actually get a job and get paid for doing stuff like this when I'm laid off from my present position in a couple of years.
So anyway...all I intended on writing was..."I'm busy...here's a joke to make you smile...and remember to CHOOSE JOY TODAY!
MISSING HUSBAND
Rick was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really angry. She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less than 10 seconds, AND IT BETTER BE THERE".
The next morning Rick got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway. Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, and brought the box back in the house.
She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
Rick has been missing since Friday. Please pray for him.

Funny, Funny, Funny.
Sounds like someone has issues that go deeper than sometimers (35 ha, ha, ha). She can't say NO!!!
It's moms like you who are my heroes. You've stayed home all these years, and you keep programs at school and church running out the kindness of your heart. Without volunteers I believe our culture would collapse. Thanks for saying yes, even when you want to say no. A true unsung hero!!!
I love you and will miss your profound thoughts. You have a great persepctive that I enjoy learning from.
Yes Andrea, my friend, I admit to being age-phobic...it's something that seems to run in my family! Fortunately, for the most part, God has blessed me with the health that allows me to continue to live within this delusion!
And fortunately, I have learned to say no...(and you know that because you're doing one of the jobs I used to do! Thanks for stepping in!) Learning to prayerfully say no is an important skill we all need to develop. It allows God to use us in the ways He intended. And sometimes we want to say no, and God wants us to say yes! Getting back into volunteering in the school system after a number of years being out of it has not only been a blessing to Mallory and me, but it has gotten me out of my "Christian cocoon" so that I have contact with many other kinds of people..sounds like this could be a post topic in itself!
35! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!
You crack me up! You amaze me!
I love you!
You NOT busy would make me think there was a great disturbance in the force. I'm praying for you during this busy time. I know you'll get it all done with grace and style.
I will be joyful, I will be joyful!
Thank you...pray...regardless of what I want to believe, I'm not as young as I used to be!
I love you my "busy as a bee" friend!! That joke did make me laugh!!!!! Have a great day in which you enjoy all of the busy moments!
You and Chuck get along so well because he too has age issues, amongst other humorous adventures. I'm sure I'll hit an age that stops me dead in my tracks (suppose that's a Fruedian slip because I meant figuratively stop me, but literally one day I'll be dead.)
I know you can say NO and Yes as the spirit leads. Like you, I've learned to ask God first before resisting or jumping.
