Gloomy Saturday!

It has been a blur of a week. Not too much extra going on, but just a week full of stuff.

Church dinner theater is actually No-Dinner Theater this year. The new fellowship hall at church with a grand new stage will be finished in time, but without the state/county documentation for occupation. So we're relegated to use the chapel stage again. But the kitchen facilities won't be available, so there will be no real dinner. We may have popcorn or snacks, so that might help!

Rehearsals were heavy this week, with a Monday rehearsal since Sunday was Easter. Then there were normal Tuesday and Thursday rehearsals too. Tomorrow is Off-Book Day. I need to really work tonight and tomorrow to try to get those last few lines ingrained in my head!

Thursday Zach and I left work early to attend the funeral of my former coworker Lee Sizemore. He was the driving force at LifeWay to begin the video-driven Bible studies that most all churches utilize. He made Beth Moore famous. She even spoke at the funeral! It was a nice service. Zach saw Lee as a mentor, in a way. Lee gave Zach an internship at LW, before Zach graduated and was employed full time.

David has been on Spring break this week. I can pride myself to say that I never asked him what he was doing that day or why didn't he tackle such-and-such project? It was a "Honey-Do-List"-free holiday! He did get some things accomplished, but not necessarily things on my list! That's OK!

Natalie is looking for a new job. Her manager knows she cannot afford the drive to work if the office moves farther away. She's been busy taking resumes to doctors' offices, testing at an employment center, and responding to jobs online. Friday she had two responses! One opportunity for office work fell through when they couldn't offer enough pay. She's in a spot where she can take a slight pay cut to compensate for the different in the drive/gas, but if they don't offer insurance benefits, it's a no-deal. She had two interviews on Saturday. This morning I sat in the car while she went to a meeting for a potential nanny job. The home is only 6 miles from her place, so that would be convenient. But she isn't sure that's what she wants. Another interview was for a new shop going into an H'ville development. But they advertised falsely by teasing with benefits when there are none. She just cannot do a pay cut with no benefits. Hopefully something else will come about!

Everything else is about the same. Most things are fine, others are not. I continue to lean on the Lord. He is faithful! I am thankful that He promised never to leave me alone!

On my mind this week has been a family who is facing the upcoming birth of their baby who won't live long, according to doctors. Of course, God is in control! I pray for them to continue to hold His hand.

Later!
