Wacky Wednesday

Well, I made it to Wednesday. I am sitting here at work...shhhhh. Ed and Aimee will be home tonight, thankfully!! I told Aim I might squeeze her until she pops, she said that would be fine with her!! I have missed them. On a good note, the girls have gone 9-1 at basketball camp. Paige Dobson got to play in an awesome all-star game last night and Rachel got 3rd in the Hot Shot competitoin out of like 50 girls!



We didn't have grouping this week since Tami is in Florida as well as Andrea. I miss those girls!! Tami doesn't text so I haven't been in contact with her.



I have to give a big shout out to me "consulting firm", boy I sound important huh??? I had an issue I needed to work through for a school board thing and the great minds of the Burns/Jones family really came through for me, even on vacation!! What a friend that ole' Andrea is!



Annette and I escaped to Jasper on Tuesday night. We had a good time, she is one of those gals that I can just be totally me with, flaws and all and she doesn't judge me, and the best part is that she still wants to be around me... I got my toes re-done and we went to Applebees. I have the best friends anyone can ask for. I am SO blessed in that area.



My turning point for today was a really good one that made me think, I am going to end with it. Have a great hump day!!



And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord . . .
Deuteronomy 6:18


Standing up for what’s right is not an easy thing to do. In fact, some people feel it is easier to go with the flow of whatever is popular at the time or avoid the issue altogether. Sadly, this can lead to an entire culture of weak, misguided, and apathetic people. As one person states, “When 40 million people believe in a dumb idea, it’s still a dumb idea. So if you believe in something that’s good, honest, and right, stand up for it.”



There is one person in the Bible who perhaps understood this better than anyone. When Joseph was approached by his master’s wife, he not only stood up for what was right, he ran, leaving his coat behind him. Most people would think he was crazy for running away from such a proposition; but he knew what was right, and he stood by it. For that, he was immeasurably blessed by God.



Whether you’re dealing with ethical issues at work or moral issues with friends and family, don’t be afraid to stand up for what you know is right. It may be difficult, but it will be worth it. Take God’s hand, and take a stand!
