I had a good week. Work was pretty mild...not too much craziness happening. I did have to stay for a "pizza party" Wednesday night.....a.k.a. work overtime to sort through defective pumps. I had a good night Friday night, because of a visitor who came to see me. ;) Saturday, Larissa and Jenn came over for the afternoon. And that night I went to Evansville with my parents, to eat with Michelle and Geoff. It was so cold! It was 8 degrees on our way home!!! I'm ready for summer. Brrr.....

At church today, we watched this video of Caz McCaslin (the guy who started Upwards Basketball). This is the second time I've seen it, but it's really good. I took several notes on what he said, but the main thing I've got from it is that "it's not about me". It's not about me ANYMORE, anyway. When Jesus came here and died on the cross.....THEN it WAS about me. That was about all of us. But from the moment I accepted His grace and forgiveness, it wasn't about me anymore. If it were, I would have went to heaven right then to be with Him. But I'm still here, because it's NOW about sharing the love of Christ with others. Wow. That really gives me perspective. That gives my life meaning and purpose.

I had some "Me Time" today. I know, it would seem like I should get a lot of that, being single and all. But, coming home from work everyday and watching TV is escapism....not me-time. I sat in my living room floor, drinking coffee, watching "Hitch" and looking at old pictures. I really have had a great life, ya know! I have so many pictures of great times with family and friends. Really makes me feel loved and lucky to have all of those people in my life. Oh, and Stace, you will be happy to know, that I removed the risque pictures of us from my photo album. =) I have one that Luke needs to have though!!! The "Barnyard Animals" sure had some fun, didn't we? Hehe.
