Lunch,church,dinner

I was just beginning to stir when the infamous rap on the door announced they were ready to work on my truck. Get dressed and drive the truck to bay 7, grab bluetooth, headphones, iPhone, reading glasses and Bible. Wait in the drivers lounge for awhile, then walk 2 miles to Jack in the Box. I ordered a grilled trio and a large tea. I mixed the tea 50/50 with sweet and unsweetened, cutting down a few calories and still having a good flavor. Finished walking the 1.3 miles to church. Walked in what looked like the front door, but it was the front door of the education wing. Walked around until I walked back outside and figured out where the auditorium was located. Service was geared to a generation that would go home and watch Gunsmoke not American Idol. Such a large ediface with many large holes with the congregation. Another church where they are going to heaven because they are right, anyone else that makes it will be just by the grace of God.
It was early for dinner, but did not want to walk this far again, so after church stopped at KFC and ate a double down sandwich. Grilled not fried and will order again when opportunity arises. Part of the reason for being on the yard is a series of little things that if not internally corrected lead to major problems. Read part of Proverbs before starting my walk to church. 10:17; Whoever accepts correction is on the way to life, but whoever ignores correction will lead others away from life. 11:2; Pride leads only to shame, it is wise to be humble. So while I am stuck on the yard until Wednesday or Thursday, I pray to use the time wisely. If the movie 2012 were real, we knew the time of the end were at hand, what would you like to be doing for the last 18 months of your life?

Welcome to Dallas

Oh what tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. Was told come to the yard you will be in and out. It is Saturday of a three day weekend, everyone will be gone until Tuesday. So much for honesty. Speaking with Paula simply rips my heart out. We are struggling financially and sitting on the yard for possibly five days will not help. I do not get paid to gather dust. But it is strange the song that is playing in my mind, You make everything glorious, David Crowder Band. I must know I am not in charge; however, I have certainly set myself up for failure. As I heard on the radio today, Lord give me enough light to take the next step and the faith to actually take it.
I was able to attend church last Sunday by leaving the rcv long enough to attend. They even ran over to give me a loaf of homemade banananut bread. But it is a long way to church here on the Dallas yard.

My sin not the part but the whole

Psalm 32: It is better to confess sin. Verse 5: Then I confessed my sins to you and didn't hide my guilt. I said, "I will confess my sins to theLord," and you forgave my guilt. Not just my sin, my guilt. If I am going to live a life of purpose, focused forward in Christ; then not only do I need to forgive myself for my past, but get over the guilt trips my mind takes hourly.
What does "doing my best and leave the results up to God look like? I know it looks different than I have lived the first 54 years!

Communication

I miss using my computer to post on my blog, or to complete so many other tasks. I am thankful for my iPhone, but until AT&T allows the phone to work as designed, it is frustrating. I am over 900 miles from final but I do not have the time to get there. Rules are important; however, pin heads should not create rules where they do not see the full effects of their actions. So sometime tonight or tomorrow I will exchange this load for another. Hopefully I can deliver it! Plan to attend church in Moriarty,NM. Website/Facebook page for church is how it was selected. Attending is more of a challenge west than east because of time differences.

A very sad day

We struck a bridge. I am the trainer, I assume full responsibility for this terrible mistake; however, before noon they have suspended the student for 30 days and told me I am on trainer suspension for 120 days. The truly sad part is they have let a perfectly good student go on suspension (he states he will not be returning) rather than simply reassign him to a different truck and let me take the brunt of actions. I contacted the usual taxi driver for STVV; however, he could not guarantee that he would get him to DFW in time for his flight. Taxi fare to DFW from here is approximately $66. I paid it. No one is more disappointed in this situation than me. He could have been... how much of life is tied up in could have beens. Also discovered that my driver manager no longer works at STVV. I do not know why, just sad no good byes or anything else. I sent him a note via facebook, he was not on my list of friends but I could send him a note.
Best wishes Michael on wherever the Lord leads you next, your life has had many interesting twists I feel honored to have met you. Jay may our paths meet again.
