Wow!  I’ve just entered the world of writing my thoughts and letting the whole world read them, not to mention comment about them.  Well, I might as well.  Everybody else is doing it! Besides, I am told if I am to survive being Pastor B’s assistant at The Rock I need to do this.  Pastor Bryan, thank you for seeing the potential in me and trusting me with what I see as incredible responsibilities. Jennifer, I see you as an awsome woman and I will never fill your shoes as an assistant. If I am half as good as you then that will be great. Carolyn and Mary, thank you for making me feel so welcome. You both radiate with the love of Christ. Mary, I can hardly wait for my turn to hold Tamara. Carolyn, thanks for the nudge to blog, I think. Pastor Norma, thanks for poking your head into Pastor Bryan’s office and cheering for me. Pastor Ron, the smile on your face the first time I saw you after I was hired said it all, thanks. Cathy… I think we need to do lunch, be nice. Sherry, I love you. Pastor Matthew, I have the feeling that you will be the one I have to keep an eye on at all times. You may not know this but I have a few hidden talents myself. If you bring me Starbucks everyday (I like half decaf and half regular with two spoonfuls of honey and a good portion of half and half) I won’t bother you with any practical jokes.  Cheryll, I look forward to getting to know you better, you have an incredible family. Pastor Abbye, thank you for all your encouragement and inspiration. Michael, my one and only next to Jesus, thank you for your support, prayers and love and patience and grace and putting up with me and…

Yahweh, thank You, thank You, thank You for picking me up out of the muck I was in, turning my life around and giving me Your ultimate gift, Your Son, the cross, His Blood, Life, Freedom and joy. I look forward to spending eternity in Your presence, worshipping, playing, dancing and even singing.

By the way yesterday was Michael’s birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Michael! I love you!
