Comic Relief Anyone?

A friend shared this joke with me the other day and I thought I would share it.

A new pastor was visiting the homes of his parishioners. At one house, it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door.

When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it as this cryptic message, "Genesis 3:10."

Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter.

Revelation 3:20 begins: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock."
Genesis 3:10 reads: "I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid, for I naked." :)

HAVE A GOOD DAY!!

Ending the semester

Well, this semester is almost over. I am so glad but I'm stressing about all the things I have to get done. I have to finish 3 papers, study for very in-depth tests, and prepare for the finals. I sure hope I can get everything accomplished without it killing me. I know that school isn't really THAT difficult overall, but to meet the personal goals (grades I'd like to make) it is very difficult. I'm not the type of person to just throw things together and turn it in. Sometimes I think I'm too hard on myself, but hopefully it will pay off one of these days. Wish me luck and send some prayers cause I sure could use them.Have a good weekend!

Volunteering

I am studying to be a medical laboratory technician. Through this program, I have passed a training course to go on blood drives in my area. I will only be able to take a donor's blood pressure, pulse rate, and temperature for now. Once I graduate or get more certifications I will be able to draw the blood from donors. I enjoy getting out of the classroom and having real world experiences. It helps me remember why I'm having to take all of these hard courses and why instructors can be so hard on us. They want us to be as knowledgeable as possible so we can be a success wherever we go to work. There are times when I dread class but it's only for a little while. I have to keep looking to what is waiting for me in the future. I can almost see it...it's pretty bright! :)

Shopping

I do not mind shopping most of the time. The one thing I definately do not like is going grocery shopping. I hate that food is so expensive, so I'm usually not in the best mood when I go. What really irritates me is when a couple of people stop in the middle of the aisle and talk. They are always in my way, right in front of an item I need. They act as if no one else is around, then when I say excuse me, they look at me weird. I go to the store, get what I need and get out of there. Others treat it as if it's a family reunion meeting spot. For goodness sakes, get each other's number and move on. Make a date to visit at their house or something. If you MUST talk, AT LEAST move yourself out from the middle of the aisle so the rest of us can move on.

Spring

In my previous post, I talked about how I'm so glad that the spring season is on its way. There are a couple of things that I'm not too thrilled about this time of year. One is the pollen. I do not have allergy issues but it does annoy me when everything turns that yellow tint, especially on my vehicle. If I rub against it then pollen will get on my clothes, ugh. The other thing is stormy weather. I am OK with the occasional thunderstorm but hate it when they are severe. I am sure I am not alone. The threat of tornadoes really worries me. I hate it for those who are in the Midwest who get them often. We have come too close for comfort where I live recently. Hopefully, the threat will not get any worse but it is not looking that way.

Spring is on it's way!

I am so glad that winter is almost over. It doesn't really seem like we've had much of a winter here in the south this year. That doesn't hurt my feelings at all really. I think Spring is my favorite time of year. I love the blooming flowers, chirping birds, and longer days. The temperature is not too cold and not too hot. The only thing that can be annoying is all the bugs that come out. I'm not a fan of mosquitoes or stinging bees but they seem to be a fan of me. Other than that, if it were up to me, it would be Spring like weather year round. If only it were up to me. Oh well, I'll just enjoy it while it lasts!

Expectations

Everyone at some point has expectations. It can be for themselves, for others, or both. We also have responsibilities to some degree. I am the type of person that always tries my best to meet my own expectations. I try even harder when someone else is counting on me. It is one thing to let myself down....I'll get over it. However, I can not let others down. With all the things I'm responsible for...being a wife, house work, school work, etc. I do everything I can to do what is expected of me. I could choose not do some of the things on the agenda but excuses have never gotten me anywhere, even if they were legit. It just really burns me up when people take advantage of who they are and decide not to do what they are expected. It's a double standard. I have things expected of me within a certain amount of time, excuses are not acceptable BUT others can get by with it. People need reevaluate what they are doing and get their priorities in order. Yes, that could mean staying inside on the first beautiful day we've had in a while. It could mean NOT going out with friends on a Saturday evening. It could mean staying up late and/or getting up early just to put forth the effort of getting it done. I am most definitely not perfect or conceded in any way, shape, form, or fashion but if only people were more like me things would be going much more smoothly. >:(
