That BBW always leaves Gerbil sore, he tells all in Sharing 4-6-4!

It was a balmy 102° today. 107° they said with the index.  That's probably spring for you southerners... Lol

I napped half the afternoon away.

[Lynx]

No way, here in TN 102 is sweltering.  Over 90 is common only at the height of summer, and we complain a lot when it gets that high.

[Chseeads]

Carpet.

Where from?  Old carpet I would assume...

Boy, you're nosey. 



The old carpet from the walks at church.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Sure.

Is it to keep moisture in or weeds out or both or what?

[mini]

Supposed to be a toasty...er...sweltering 109 degrees here today.

Finished one of the busiest days of my life yesterday.  Was going pedal to the metal, 100 miles a hour, non-stop from 6:30 yesterday morning to Midnight last night.

Exhausted doesn't begin to do justice to the way I feel...

[Melody]

See, yeah, I thought so.  I didn't think it would be in the hundreds here and cooler down there.  It's going to be above 95° all week supposedly.

Got Nathan fed and off to work, the house freshened up and we're off to clean the church as soon as I can motivate myself...

Oh and I really enjoy Charles Spurgeon's daily devotionals.


Reader, can you find rest apart from the ark, Christ Jesus? Then be assured that your religion is vain. Are you satisfied with anything short of a conscious knowledge of your union and interest in Christ? Then woe unto you. If you profess to be a Christian, yet find full satisfaction in worldly pleasures and pursuits, your profession is false. If your soul can stretch herself at rest, and find the bed long enough, and the coverlet broad enough to cover her in the chambers of sin, then you are a hypocrite, and far enough from any right thoughts of Christ or perception of His preciousness. But if, on the other hand, you feel that if you could indulge in sin without punishment, yet it would be a punishment of itself; and that if you could have the whole world, and abide in it for ever, it would be quite enough misery not to be parted from it; for your God—your God—is what your soul craves after; then be of good courage, thou art a child of God. With all thy sins and imperfections, take this to thy comfort: if thy soul has no rest in sin, thou are not as the sinner is! If thou art still crying after and craving after something better, Christ has not forgotten thee, for thou hast not quite forgotten Him. The believer cannot do without his Lord; words are inadequate to express his thoughts of Him. We cannot live on the sands of the wilderness, we want the manna which drops from on high; our skin bottles of creature confidence cannot yield us a drop of moisture, but we drink of the rock which follows us, and that rock is Christ. When you feed on Him your soul can sing, "He hath satisfied my mouth with good things, so that my youth is renewed like the eagle's," but if you have Him not, your bursting wine vat and well‐filled barn can give you no sort of satisfaction: rather lament over them in the words of wisdom, "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity!"

Still fighting the kidney infection. Suppose to be into work at 5 am tomorrow to work a truck. I need healing and strength. Finalized the dates for the kid's crusade we are doing in Georgia in August. Getting excited about what God is going to do!

So...we had a huge jet land here.  Bunch of executives, 2 pilots and a stewardess.  In 10 years, we have only had 1 other jet with a stewardess, so they are rare...

I get doen fueling the jet, come in and fill out their ticket.  Im sitting quietly at the counter, waiting for the pilot get done talking on his cell phone, and listening to the stewardess make catering arrangements via cell phone at their next stop.  She is trying to get groceries for the plane (water, breakfast items, lunch items), and get their laundry (linen napkins, etc) taken care of too.  She is a little high strung, sweating the details, and is griping at the pilot about their next stop.

The pilot asks if the linens can be taken care of at the hotel they are scheduled to stay at tonight, and in frustration, she blurts out "NO!  Its another Podunk town!"  As soon as she said that, she stiffened like she had been shot, turned beet red, and made a complete blubbering idiot out of herself...I nearly lost it.  The pilot starts teasing her unmercifully about it.  Poor girl, nothing she could say would come out right after that point.

So after a while I finish their ticket, help another pilot or two, and I am sitting in my office.  She comes knocks on the door.  She said, "Sir, I dont know if you heard my disparaging remark earlier."  I said, "About us being a Podunk town?"  Should not have said that...the poor girl blushed so bad her arms turned red.  ROFLOL  She apologized, and I thanked her (I did say that yes, we were a Podunk town) and complimented her on having enough character to admit she was wrong, and trying to rectify the situation.  That took courage.

All in all, it was a funny event.

And for Roscoe:  Chelleebelle drove Sam all by herself today.  She had it in her head she wanted to fix some fencing at our house, so in order to get the said fencing, she had to have a truck.  She even made sure I left Sam's key so she could have access to him.  I guess going to church last night got part of the devil prayed out of him, he didn't try to fuss too much.

I went to the beach for a few hours with Ann and her Granddaughters, and I got BURNT, and pooped on by a seagull. But then I went to Sonic and got a free ice cream cone and a cherry limeade. Now I'm at home under the fans with minimal covering trying to cool off. Lol gonna cook hotdogs for dinner later on the grill, then dad and I are going to talk to this guy about a blazer he has for sale. I may own a car again by the end of today.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

This afternoon is just dragging...

[BeccaBoo]

106 here in good ole Arkansas... 

[Roscoe]

106 here in good ole Arkansas... 

Dear BeccaBoo- speak for yourself. 
In Lonoke, at the firing range I was on ALL day from 7am to 4pm, it was 109. And I felt every degree. I believe I drank 8 liters of water and two sodas today. I still feel drained. And I need y'all to pray for me. This whole range thing is NOT going well. I have a outside professional observer watching my buddy and I run the range. I feel like we are doing a good job, and from his conversation with me, I think he feels the same. And I and my buddy have qualified. BUT- I have had four of my officers fail to qualify so far, with just one more shot at doing so. This could mean major changes at my job, to say the least, and lots of overtime/comp time I really don't want. Pray that a) God's will be done and 2) I don't screw up. I'm leaving it all in His hands.

[BeccaBoo]

I dont want it to be 106!! LOL!!

And I will say a prayer for ya!

[Roscoe]

I dont want it to be 106!! LOL!!

And I will say a prayer for ya!

Thanks. It is much appreciated. I REALLY don't wanna have to go back to working for a living... And I told my partner today that I would prefer it being 30 and snowing today. A complete turnaround from my normal sentiments...

[BeccaBoo]

Ewww!! No! I will take the heat...I dont want any snow or ice near me!! 

[Chseeads]

Sure.

Is it to keep moisture in or weeds out or both or what?

Laid over the grass around the perimeter for the melons or squash to grow on.  So to keep down weeds. 

I'm tarred.. BLeh.

[taco_harvell]

If anyone is still up please pray for me. Had to call in already for tomorrow. In as much pain now as I was Friday when I went to the er. Praying I can find a doctor to see me tomorrow and work with me on the bill. Can't afford another er visit or to miss anymore work. Please pray!

[Chseeads]

Did they not think you had any kidney stones or anything?  With all the pain that's still going on I'd wonder if there might be stones involved too....   

[taco_harvell]

The scan showed no large stones. The doctor did say though it could be to small to really see or could just be missed by the scan. They were positive of the severe infection though. Just doesn't seem to be getting better. Not sure what to do but keep praying.

[Melody]

Praying Taco.

Phewee, I'm exhausted.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

I'm at work.

[mini]

Im off today.  For those of you that remember my buddy NewLife101 on here, pray for him.  He lost his mother Saturday.  Her funeral is today.

[Lynx]

I remember him, but haven't seen hide nor hair of him lately.  Where's he been?

[mini]

Very busy with family, church, and work.
