Day 8807

Ever have one of those days? Ya know...things just start happening...one right after the other. Well, for me, that day was Wednesday, August 8th, 2007. It should be a day to go down in history. I'm calling it, "Day 8807" - the greatest day ever, one so full of catastrophes you just had to laugh.

First...The Flood - the Auditorium at the church I work at flooded...we're talking two inches of the clear, cool liquid (of whom I now have a totally different outlook on).

Second...The boss is gone - that's right! So is the associate pastor...and the pastor's wife. Who's in charge? Good question! :-)

Next...the desk we ordered weeks ago for Pastor, arrived on schedule...what wasn't part of the package was the fact that it is 22 inches deeper in reality than what they show on cyberspace...who said the Internet was accurate?

Next...The printer, or rather the lack of...it's fuser went out...so we haven't been able to print the 750 booklets, which need the be bound with those black plastic things...

Next...There is a mice infestation upstairs in the props room that has overflowed into C-Hall - "Run, Michelle! Run!"...but the pest guys are on it...

Next...Want to print something? Sorry! Print it as a pdf file, email it to yourself, open it up on a mac...then you can print it on the HP...

Next..."Beth, your PC is freezing up again? No way!"

Next...Order the food for Group Connection - What? Wal-Mart's oven is broke and they can't bake the croissants??? (Don't worry...Lowe's to the rescue!)

Next..."Sandra, we promise! Life in the office is NOT always like this...really."

Next..."Drill holes in the Auditorium risers??? Do it!"

Next..."Rip up the bamboo flooring in the nursery? What, you don't like the way the water seeps through the joints and is causing it to turn color and buckle???"

Next..."Anyone want to surf in the church?"

Oh, yeah...Day 8807 was the best!!!! :-)

Then came the day after...

The list is too long...but one of the highlights...my car got dented in the parking lot by a sign...yeah, my 2006 Dodge Stratus...

God is awesome. God is good. He is amazing and I am proud to say that I am signing His name to the end of my day, because He is gracious enough to give me (and everyone else here) the grace and strength we need to accomplish His work today.

How was your day? Mine was amazing! :-) Thank you, my Jesus!
