2 1/2 More Weeks

Honestly. I have been trying to get on here to post again but the "new post" page would not load! I tried for probably 4 hours over the past few days to figure it out...but to no avail! So I try it today and it works!!! Sigh, modern technology.

The last couple of weeks have been good. I'm still working alot and will be working alot for the next 3 weeks. After that I have all of Thanksgiving week off and December is really slow. I always look forward to this time because it is a time to connect with people. I usually like to get together with 1 or 2 people per week and do breakfast or lunch and do some catching up. I also hope to be on worship team more often! I have been having such a blast with the various people on the team! Music moves me. I just pretty much can't sit or stand still when I'm playing:) I get really jazzed during the fast songs and more reflective during the slower songs. I usually play electric guitar but 2 wednesdays ago I got to play my new accoustic during a very special service. We had an awesome time of praise & worship, communion, and praying for healing for a 44 year old (my age!) lady in our church named Shellie that just found out a few weeks ago that she has (I think it's stage 4) melanoma that has matastasized in her brain and her liver. We also opened it up for anyone else who wanted to come forward and have prayer for healing and two more young ladies came forward. What is so cool about Shellie is that shortly after she found out she has cancer she said that wether she lives or dies she has already won. She also wants the Lord to just use her through this whole thing. I have known Shellie, her husband Tony, and their two sons for 4 years. I was in a small group with Tony and Shellie for a few months too. These people are the real deal! Alot of times you do not know how strong your faith is until it's tested. Things like this usually make me wonder how I will react not if but when I am tested!

Got a flu shot and a pneumonia shot yesterday. I didn't even feel the flu shot but the pneumonia shot hurt like the dickens!!! 36 hours later my arm still hurts! I don't know if I've ever had a flu shot (at least not as an adult) but I thought a pneumonia shot might be a good idea since I had pmeu. this past feb. and missed 5 days of work!

Went for a bike ride with Adam today. Man! Am I out of shape!!! I had logged over 400 hundred miles this summer (mostly to and from work) and my legs, heart, and lungs were really feeling stronger. Then a guy on the county mowing crew got hit and killed instantly on his tractor. That kinda weirded me out so I stopped riding.

OK. I'm finished with this post but maybe I'll do another one just for the fun of it!
