Catch up!!

So, this past Friday was my last day of work. I must say, I am so THANKFUL!!! Someone had asked me if I was going to miss the kids and the job, and i think my words were, "Are you serious?, of course I will never forget the kids, but i am so thankful that it is over." But really, it was great experience and i can't wait to be a part of it next summer. Actually, hopefully this will look great on my resume and will assist me in getting a job.

On Saturday, David and I got to spend some time together shopping. Not the shopping that we both would hope for, but the necessity shopping. We traveled to Wal-Mart, then PetSmart, then MCsports, then finally Kroger. You know you can never do all the grocery shopping at one place. You have to go where the deals are!!! right? Even though it gets a bit exhausting we had a good time, and it feels great to have grocery in the house. Although, when you get home and put it away, you want to sample a little bit of everything. Hahahahah! At least i do.

Then towards the evening, we hung out with some of my brother-in-laws and watched the Olympics. I swear, when Michael Phelps was swimming we were all shouting and rooting him on. You would have thought we were there! I sure do enjoy when they come out. We have a fun time!!!

This morning at church, Pastor Jim delivered a great message. A message that is overlooked too often. His message focused on "not forgetting about the older members of our church" or "elderly". These individuals are the ones with all the experience and deserve the upmost respect. Daily these individuals are taken for granted or left out. As the body of Christ we need to embrace these folks and learn from them. Their knowledge of Christ and life in general surpasses what many of us know.

This just touched me today and made me think of the elders in my life. How can you learn from them, Casey?

I know i'm rambling, but i just have to share this. We all know about prayer and it's magnitude. I have been told in the past to only pray for meaningful things, but today i realized its okay to pray for those things that are small or simple or unmeaningful. If i want to pray and ask God to help me hit a homerun, i should be able to.
God is sovereign and he reigns over all. He hears all, sees all, and believes all. It's a comfort knowing that my Lord is there no matter what.

I know that is nothing new, but i just wanted to share that with you all.

I almost forgot, then after church today we went golfing and had a blast. We were dodging rain drops, but sometimes that adds to the excitement and makes play more interesting.
Have good Sunday evening everyone!
