Don’t get stressed, Don’t get worried, Just have faith

Wednesday June 24, 2009

I woke up at 2 this morning being really hot and having a really dry and sore throat. I checked my temperature and drank some water then went back to bed. I have had a sore throat all day!

I went to work without Jeff today, he is still sick. He will be back in the office tomorrow for sure. I worked on my music video PowerPoint this morning. I have been procrastinating on my sermon. I know I need to write it, I want to write it, but I am not sure how I want to put it together yet. In God’s timing it will come together. It actually needs to be done tonight or at least half way done tonight. So right now I am taking a break to write on my blog.

I had a lunch appointment with a member from the church. He invited me to come to his Rotary Club meeting. Originally he wanted me to be the guest speaker, but there was already someone assigned to speak. Neville is his name and he brought one of his co workers whose name was also Mary.

I socialized with the other men at the Rotary. Mary and I were the only females there! For lunch we had fish and chips and a side salad. For dessert was this apple filled pastry with caramel topping and whipped cream. Yum – o.

After lunch the speaker got up and announced that he was going to be speaking on prostate cancer. What a strange thing to sit in on! The table was covered with walnuts! Wonderful… So Mary and I sat through the talk and I did learn a lot! Probably more than I wanted to know. I learned that most men do not even know they have a prostrate! Towards the end of the meeting the men started making jokes about the medical procedures that women have to go through so Mary and I left. Throughout the whole talk, the men seemed very uncomfortable. They wouldn’t make eye contact with the speaker or anything. Men are so strange, but I am glad God made them the way he did. That whole lunch was a very interesting experience.

Two hours later, I came back to church and researched statistics and illustrations. At 4 Rosemary picked me up and brought me back home. For dinner we had Chili. As I waited, I worked on the timing of the music with the PowerPoint slides. I still haven’t gotten that all timed correctly, but that can be put off for a day.

I learned two new phrases today:

1. Coffee whitener – powdered creamer


2. Ta – thank you

After dinner and dessert and showing Jeff and Rosemary my pictures from my trip to the city, I went on working on my sermon and they went to the couch to watch TV. I am currently sitting in the kitchen with headphones in my ears. I am now going to go to my room and continue writing on my sermon. Pray for me!
