Playing Catch-Up Again
My apologies for not having posted in the past couple of days. So let's get right down to business.
Work continues to go very well. The only major items to report are from yesterday's afternoon shift. Basically, it was nearly scrubbed due to some kind of electrical failure in our vent system. I literally walked in and was told that we were closing up. So I begin wiping down counter tops, taking back dishes after we'd just brought them out, and doing standard clean-up stuff. Then at about 11:45, I get word that we're going to go ahead and stay open. So that meant we had to turn right around and get everything we'd just cleaned and put away back out! Apparantly, we found an alternative fix to our venting problem although I was never told what. Of course, the customers had no idea what was going on, so they showed up in waves. And we were ill-prepared to handle the lunch rush without any food ready (we had shut the fryers off for a good 20 minutes, and it takes roughly half that amount of time for them to warm up) and missing half our cooking utensils. So we had to scramble to get things organized, but after a hectic period, things finally settled down and we were up and running like nothing was ever wrong. I have to say this is one well-oiled machine of workers. We might have been swamped had they not been able to change course on the fly like they did. It feels good to be a part of that machine. I'm so glad to be there.
Vacation Bible School is coming! The Ramblin' Road Trip is zooming our way, and I couldn't be more excited for it. I spent the middle part of today at church, putting things up in the adult choir room, which is where we'll be setting up shop for the "Music Tune-Up Station." I also brought my laptop there so I could go over the motions and lyrics for the songs again, this time in the actual room I'll be doing them. I love how Jeff Slaughter, the man who wrote the songs, really gets into the moves and works to relate them to our walk with the Lord. Tomorrow, my partner Faithanne and I will meet up and start taking care of the heavy work in the choir room. Can't wait!
Bible Study on Tuesday night was just excellent, even better than last week. We had an even greater turnout this week, which I'm sure was a huge encouragement for Mr. Blackburn. He shared an awesome story again based on the book of Joseph, dealing with how our faith should be reflected in our works, and the way in which we live our lives, especially when others aren't around. He gave us each a copy of a poem that was so powerful I just had to share it with my friends at Furman. I'm really excited for our college student ministry right now.
Song of the Day: Phillips, Craig, and Dean - "You Are God Alone"
Verse of the Day: "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You annoint my head with oil. My cup runs over." - Psalm 23:5
