So thankful deep in my heart that Gary got approval on a build job in the shop today. You can probably hear me sigh way over where you are, can't you? Work has been SO slow for so long, but is picking ever so slightly. It takes so little to keep us afloat, and when work comes in, we're able to manage on less than you'd imagine. God remains faithful even as we learn everyday to keep our faces tucked up against His. Easy to get too busy and distracted, but you can't let your guard down EVER.
Still thinking about one of my brothers-in-law who anticipates the world ending tomorrow. He weighs heavily on our hearts as well. Not a pleasant situation. Finding it a bit unbelievable that oldest daughter has a pen-pal whose family is buying into the story as well. We'll see who's sitting up straight come Sunday, won't we? It's easy to get anxious when you read about this stuff. Very strange.
And speaking of strange...watched part of that show about extreme couponing the other night and my mouth was hanging open at the amount of food/products these women accumulate. My goodness. While I felt slight twinges of envy, I was mostly horrified. Besides, who has the time? Seems these women (some of them) spend almost 40 hours/week in hunting through, printing out and clipping coupons. The way I figure it, something is suffering with this obsessive behavior. It'd have to be, don't you think? While I realize they have the best interests of their families in mind, seems a support group would be needed.
Now time to tidy up the joint. A restful weekend would be nice, and with work in, my spirits can unwind a bit. Take care.
