I'm Tired!

It has been a frigidly cold week in OKC. Because of the frigid weather conditions, we have been extremely busy at work. Since Monday, we have had over 30 water main breaks…and that doesn’t count the number of emergency turn-offs we have had. Residents in OKC were warned well in advance about this frigid weather coming in, yet many did not heed the warnings. They did not leave their faucets dripping and did not take precautions, so many of them either had their water pipes burst, or their house lines froze. I am just glad we moved to a house where we really have no water concerns because the pipes and the house are very well insulated. At the other house, we always had to keep the faucets dripping to keep our lines from freezing.

Other than the freezing temperatures, this has not been a very exciting week. I spent Monday evening at the house, Tuesday evening at a REACT meeting and Wednesday evening was church. After our REACT meeting Tuesday evening, I drove up to NW.122 and MacArthur and helped some of my co-workers with traffic control on a big water main break. Other than that, there has not been much of anything going on.

Last evening, our new part-time youth pastor officially started. I have been earnestly prating for some help in the student ministry and God has answered my prayers. Not only do we now have a part-time youth pastor, but we have his girlfriend’s help as well. He and she will both be with us on Wednesday evenings, Sunday mornings and Sunday evenings. This will take lots of stress and planning off of me, even though I will still be a vital part of organizing and planning student activities. Things are starting to look up, but

I STILL NEED A VACATION!
