I Made it to Thursday....Now What?

What a week it has been. I have been extremely busy at work, still learning all the ins and outs of our new phone system. Plus, having to answer lots of phone calls. Some of my friends wonder why I don’t like to talk when they call me on my cell phone……well, after talking to people all day long on the phone, I am tired of talking, so I text. There is one thing I would like to point out when it comes to texting. If I text someone about something, it is usually because I can’t talk. Things are getting much stricter in my office, so it is getting harder to have a personal phone conversation with someone. Because of that, I text during the day while I am working. Unfortunately, sometimes when I have sent a text to somebody, they feel they have to answer my text by calling me. The whole reason I am texting is because I can’t talk. If I can’t talk, I will just reject the call.

I hate talking to voice mails. My Facebook question of the day yesterday was……if you call someone and they don’t answer, do you leave a voice mail, or just hang up? The majority of those that answered said they would just hang up. Many people, including myself, do not like leaving messages. If someone calls me and I miss the call, I usually call them back….eventually. If they do leave a voice mail, it may be awhile before I even get to listen to it. It seems that most people do not like leaving voice mails and would rather hang up. Interesting.

I had a good time last evening in the youth service. Our youth minister was on vacation, so I was in charge of the service. I did a few things differently and the students seemed to really enjoy it. We played a game, watched a video, listened to a student give a brief devotional and had a Bible drill. I didn’t get a chance to plan very much because I have been so busy at work and have so much going on.

Last Tuesday evening was our monthly meeting with the Multi-County Fire Corps. We have our meetings at a Baptist church in Hinton, Okla. There were three of us that rode together to the meeting. We stopped in Mustang on the way out and ate some BBQ. It’s a nice drive out to Hinton….lots of country to see and the windmill farm. We had a good meeting and got a chance to see their Command Post (canteen), which is an ambulance that got donated to them. It’s really nice and has plenty of room in it. I was really impressed. I wish we could have something like this for our REACT team, but the funds are just not there. The meeting lasted until around 9 pm, so I did not get home until almost 10 pm.

This evening is a free evening for me. No meetings and no plans. Tomorrow evening, Karla and I will be going to the Third Day concert at Crossroads Church. We are both looking forward to the concert.
