Back in Tampa

I am back in Tampa for work again. My secular job has a few issues that require some gentle hands on from me. I need to be here for the whole week. I had much rather be at home avoiding staff meetings. Anyhow, gotta pay the bills so here I am.

I am hoping that the “away from norm” will help me catch up on a few things after work. I will be staying at the in-laws for most of the week.

Pray that We can get some good dependable help and that we can not only catch up but actually get ahead for this busy this busy season.

The count down

Ok, for those of you who think church people are boring. I have been able to squeeze a little "Claude time" out of my busy schedule and got out in the garage to work on "the truck". If you haven't seen it, it is a 410 horse power s-10 that I build/am building. we towed it up here from Fl. cause it wasn't running and at 4mpg we couldn't drive it if it was running! Well I actual drove it 2 weeks ago, its not done but getting close. I am planning on tagging it this week and getting this thing on the road.



I really want this thing driving soon so feel free to stop by and turn a few bolts :)
btw; I found the best way to get that "Claude time" is avoiding staff meetings! It works well, you should try it! (he thinks I have been out of town :) )

OK STOP TEASEING US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I mean a lot! not this little teasing we get here.




I know what you are thinking: Sheila sure seems ok with the little bit of snow we had...yeah but she is a floridian and hasnt seen much in the first place.

come on we need feet not inches! I want the kids out of school kinda snow!

Going to Ga.

We have a meeting in atlanta Ga. this coming up Tuesday. The Home Depot (after 15 years of service) decided we need contracts! So they will be going over it with all of the assembly companys then. (btw, thats my secular job...the one paying me :). the last time all of the different assemblers got together it was a feeding frenzy and they actualy ate several of there managers! It wasnt pretty. I pray this time that we dont make thier job or lives any harder than it already is. The Home Depot, over all, has been a great blessing to me and my family and I want it to continue that way until Discovery Church can bring me on full time.

Pray for wisdom and respect all around for this meeting.

for those not in service or not reading the back of the program:

What’s with all of the “get _____ quick” stuff? Get rich quick, get thin fast, Get out of dept fast, have a better body in a month, all of this in just 15 minutes a day (and 3 easy payments of 19.99!)! Why do we think and believe that problems that took years to make can go away over night with little or no effort? What makes us think that a pill the size of a pencil eraser can get rid of weight that took years to gain? And how can spending my money on a get rich quick book get me rich? Unless it tells us to start selling “get rich quick” books, I don’t see it. What I am saying is; some things just take time...and effort. What’s instant is the decision and the dedication that we put into it. If you want fast results, get your photos at a 1/2 hour developer, other than that, plan on effort, hard work and commitment. Long term results are better and worth it, plus they are habit forming and prevent the fallbacks and rebounds. This works in our relationships also!

Have you ever heard: you get out of it what you put into it? What are you putting in to?

there you go Jim...I up dated it
