TGIF....Finally!

It is very evident that I have had an extremely busy week…..mainly because the last time I posted anything was Monday.

I am really trying to remember what I did this week, even though I know I spent Monday and Tuesday evening at home, cleaning up and re-arranging my office and helping with house chores. I took my truck down to a mechanic in Tuttle to have my power steering gear box replaced, so I was out of a truck for Monday evening, and all day Tuesday and Wednesday. It seems as if nothing is cheap anymore when it comes to car repairs. Lately, anything I have had done to my truck has cost me a bundle, but it is an older truck, so I guess that’s the price you pay for driving an older vehicle. I actually got out pretty cheap this time. It could have cost a lot more, but my mechanic gave me a break. I finally picked up my truck Wednesday afternoon and it runs really well…….they did a good job on it.

Even though my truck is running properly again, I am having a few issues with my light bar on the roof of my truck. There have been a few lose wires and a few problems with my bulbs, so it is halfway working. We ordered the parts for it and I took it by one of our REACT members' house last night to have the new lights installed, but it looks as if the light assembly we ordered is bad....so, we have to send it back and have them send us another one. It's an old light bar, so I should not expect a whole lot, but I am sure ready for it to work for me. It seems like these things ALWAYS happen to me.....so, I get to wait a little bit longer now.

Last night was our annual CFAAA elections. We usually meet at a fire station when we have our monthly meetings, but when we have our election, we always meet somewhere else. For the last couple of years, we have met in the fellowship hall of my church….this year was no exception. I really expected a big crowd, especially since class #15 just graduated and 17 of the graduates became members of the CFAAA. To my surprise, none of the graduates from class 15 showed up. We had our meal, our business meeting and our elections. We did have a decent crowd, but I had expected a lot more. Once again, I had no opponent, so I will serve another year as president.

This weekend is going to be a very busy weekend for me. This evening, we have a Christian rock concert at our church with 5 new and up-coming bands performing. Myself and another guy from church, are in charge of everything. We should have a good turnout because we have had heavy advertising. Tomorrow evening is our big concert, with Kj52. We expect a huge crowd tomorrow evening. I have armed and unarmed security set up and my REACT team will be providing traffic control and parking assistance for both nights. We are hoping to see many people at the concerts and hoping many of these people will make decisions for the Lord.
