Today is Lisa Ciccarelli's birthday.  Happy birthday to her.  She must be 41 or something, but she is still young in heart.  So much like Charlene Zimmerman, being young in heart. 

I wasn't out of the house much.  I woke up and finish reading the book, Spirit-Filled Temperments.  The last few chapters are just what I need.  I realize how much I was acting lately.  I preach faith, but I don't act it.  Now don't that make me look foolish?

Then I watch the movie, Christy.  Those who read the book most likely love the book, a inspirational novel written by Catherine Marshall.  I like the book, and I like the movie too.  I just got done with the third episode.  The point is, the preacher is human too.  We all make mistakes.  No one is perfect.  So why do we Melancholy think we should be?  Those who read the book I mentioned above would know what I am talking about. 

Last Saturday evening was fun.  I enjoy it as much as I could without Mark by running after food as cashier take in orders.  Afterwards, I went over to Mike Collin's house.  We had a nice chat there.  The New Yorker ask me many questions about Mennonites.  Mike said one Mennonite believe that black cars can ward off demons.  I say, "WHAT?!"  I explain to him that most Mennonites don't really think like that, it is more of being separate from the world, and having black cars make them feel separate and different from the world.  Anyway, we did have a nice time.

Sunday morning I was thinking of going to Ephrata Christian Fellowship, but saw goodies on the table before going out the door.  So I drove over to First Deaf Mennonite Church, because every first Sunday they have fellowship meal.  I really had a nice meal there and fellowship afterwards. 

Lewis surely probably think I am his biggest challenge because I keep twisting his thoughts.  Some things I was bit jesting, but I was mostly truthful.  I do wonder if Lewis still love me now. <Winks>

Monday morning I went to work.  It was really hot at work all week, and everyone complains about how hot it was.  Not me.  I am thankful for my Belizean experience, which made me more heat tolerant.  I am even tolerant of tropical weather...oh man, I wanna go back to Belize for a visit.

I keep getting Gmail chats from Fermin Cal and MSN chats with Jeovani, Fermin, and sometimes they would say that Robin was there and Fredy.  It sure is nice to hear from all of them.  Yes, I sure would like to go back to Belize...for two week's vacation! <Grin>

Or maybe less?

Thursday evening I went to Farmer's Wife Family Restaurant.  Good food there, I would say, and I went mostly because I would like to see where Jacklyn Kreider works.  I met her at New Danville Mennonite Church and she was my interpreter.  Now she was my waitress and my interpreter.  It was a pleasure to talk with her in person again. 

Friday evening, Jay, Paul, and I went to pick up Charlene and we all went to Leon Hoover's place.  Paul told me that he talked with Joel a bit.  Joel need help in Belize now to build a house.  Paul and I had a lively discussion about going to Belize.  When we arrive Leon's, we had a nice evening.  We planned for our cabin we plan to attend the next weekend.  So I will be busy! :) 

I was planning to go to Hersheypark alone today, but I saw that book Susan loan to me and I decided I want it finish before Susan go back to Texas.  Since she ask me to get some stuff for her from Harvest Moon Store, I decided to do that instead today.  This morning I went there and got few things.

Well, this is about the size of my week.

Monday morning I found out that we had to work 6 AM to 4 PM Monday to Friday.  My heart sank.  I love the hours we formerly had, 6 to 3:30 with Friday half day.  But that isn't to be this week....but we didn't work all day on Friday, fortunately.

Right now, I am enjoying Trick My Truck on TV, and it is soon 4 PM, when I should be leaving to pick up Helen Reimer.

You all take care until next time I have time to jot down my updates.
