Yes, it's been a while since my last update but here it is for those that might actually read this thing. Currently I'm working at TCBC in the Tri Creek Area of Arkansas. This job has been wonderful and I love the place because it's where I grew up. But it's been hard!
First, parents are probably the most difficult thing I have ever dealt with. Their such a great assest to the ministry but they also can be the first 3 letters of the 5th word in this sentence. I hate to be like that but let's be honest, that's the way it works! BUT I trully love them in many ways.
Second, I hate female hormones. Why do girls cry over everything? Hmmmm.....because God made them that way or just because they have to be the center of attention at ALL times? One Wednesday night I made two girls cry. The first one was because I seperated her and her boyfriend. I'm sorry but if you get a little too "happy hands" in the house of the Lord, I have to put a stop to it! The second girl was striaght up doing her homework in the middle of a church service. NOOOOOOO!!!!!! You don't do that!
The third girl I made cry because she would not shut up so I empty my whole bottle of water on her. The fourth one popped an attitude with me when I told her to get in the van. She was mad because I wouldn't let her sit in the front because she claims to get car sick. Well, that was big fat lie straight out of the pits of "HELLo". The home girl has road in the back of the van numerous times and I have yet to see vomit come out of her mouth. I don't like attitudes from 16 year old teenagers. I know that I'm stupid and I act crazy at times but I have to sometimes be serious with people and if I would have let her ran over me like a train, then no telling how she would have continued to act.
On a different note, I will be leaving the Tri Creek area on May 18 to head to Phanama City Beach Florida to spend the summer working at Centrifuge Camp. This has been one of my goals in life and now that God has provided me with this oppurtunity, I have to take. I was suppose to working at the church till the end of the summer but I told them when I was looking into working there, that if this oppurtunity was to arise, then I was going to jump up on it.
Next thing: as most of you know, I'm white! Really white! I don't tan but I burn. So I have been laying in a "tanning bed." I have done this before but only twice when ever Ouachita went on this tanning kick at the place that stayed open 24 hours. I joined the band wagon then but didn't stay on it for very long. But I have to do this tanning thing since I'm spending the summer on a beach. The first week I would look like a lobster if I didn't do so. Of course, everyone down in this area likes to pick on everyone, so I'm getting it pretty hard for laying in the tanning bed.
Ok, I shall now shut up........Hope all of your OBUers are enjoying your last weeks or days of school and that your summers are going to be great. To the seniors, good luck, you need it!
