I have been offered by this company to continue making pretty outrageous money, and go to some other state further away from my house.
I would like to go home, I know they will be starting up soon but what if they don't...construction is not always on schedule (it's actually never).
I am not sure what to do, I have told Turner I am not sure, I don't want to say yes and not go and I don't want to say no and actually want to go.
Just letting you know what's up

What has my mother done to me????
I caught my self watching ice skating. What has my mother done to me?
I am still in Baton Rouge, looks like for a while, at least until the middle of February. The weather has been nasty for the past couple of weeks...it's a wonder I am not sick and have not been sick.
I have talked with the guys at W-Industries so I am really hoping I get to get back home.
The good news is I have found a church I enjoy and enjoy going to. So even if I do have to stay around here I can still the filling that I need.
I have moved into a trailer house that has a washer, drier and a full kitchen...it's awesome! No more hotel refrigerator and microwave meals. I love it. It is also about 20 minutes closer to the job so I get a little more sleep.
That's everything in a nutshell...I'm sure some of you wanted to know.

Light and Dark
How often do we really think about the difference...I was just wondering. We get caught up in being so busy that light or darkness doesn't really affect us... just time.
Light and dark affects me in different ways than it does some, because it is tough to do my job in the dark. I need light to be able to see what exactly is going on, and I need to be able to see what is going on!!!
Today a couple of things were brought to my attention, light matters and the Light would really make a difference if we shared it like no one else was going to.
Marianne Williamson wrote in the famous Nelson Mandela speech, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Bob Marley a few days after being shot did a show, when asked why he said, "The people who are trying to make the world bad aren't taking a day off why should I? Light the darkness." Marley believed he could change the world with his music.
We have something that really can change the world. That really can light the darkness.
Isaiah 60:1-3 says, "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light and kings to the brightness of your dawn."
This all came together tonight as I watched I Am Legend, the new Will Smith movie. He has it set in his mind that he is the world's last hope and he will save it...whatever the cost. The bad guys are called Darkness Seekers. A part in the movie Will Smith says there is no God and there is no plan, later on he stops to listen and see if there is a god and what His plan is.
We are surrounded by darkness seekers, people that feel there is no God and if he is there he has to be bad or just have some crap plan for our lives. We as Christians should be proof otherwise and we really should get the Light out.
When we let our light shine people will be drawn to us, I have wondered why people enjoy hanging out with me. Isaiah answers that, when we shine out God's light...even kings will want this wonderful thing we have. We also have to realize that the ones trying to stop the light will not take a day off...neither can we. We are in a fight, we have to continue fighting!
