Dolly Story

Well everyone is putting up their Hurricane Dolly stories, & everywhere we go people are just talking about their home damages, tree damages, water damages. Well here is one of mine. As we are coming back home from my parents house, because that is where we spent the night for the hurricane. When I was coming up on my house, I had this knot in my stomach anticipating the damage report. Well I will skip the damage report, because I have pictures that i will post later. Anyway we went to Lowes to get some supplies which included a tarp for my roof. This tarp was about $120, it covers 30 feet X 50 feet, which is huge it covers the whole house, & has some tarp leftover I don't know what to do with it, so I just rolled it up next to the house. As I am on the roof struggling with this tarp asking God to help me, because I couldn't do it alone. My wife & Mike were picking up all the tree branches, & the roof shingles that came off. My wife asked if she could help, but she wears skirts so she can't be up on the roof. Then my neighbor on J street an older man comes to my house to ask if he can help, he has a machete in his hand, & I told him thanks so he starts cutting trees branches in smaller pieces I had a huge tree branch right on my drive way. As I am struggling with this tarp, I see my other neighbors all around just drinking beer, & chilling out, but I don't say nothing. Then my wife is passing by , & starts telling me that these men should be embarrassed for not helping out. Then about 5 minutes later they start coming over to help, & within 10 minutes I kid you not they finished all the tree branches. I am still on the roof by myself struggling with this enormous tarp, praying & asking God for some help to stop the wind. All of a sudden a gust of wind passes by , & the tarp just layed down the way I needed it to be. My eyes got all watery, & I just said thank you Jesus. As if God had been trying to help me all along, I just wanted to do it my way. Man I could make a message out of this I probably will for the teenagers. Well I hmm, God & I finished the tarp & it has stayed on isn't God so good, through it all HE was there I was just so frustrated. I usually pray before I do anything, anything, work on the house, the car, anything around the yard, but this time I was just so over whelmed, with so much work around the house I forgot to pray. Sorry God. I just can't thank HIM enough for the things he does in my life. For the people he surrounds me with. And that is one of my Hurricane Dolly stories.

Special Singing

Here are the kids singing in church, don't know the name of the song sorry, but maybe, Warla will know. I thought they sounded pretty good, & Mrs. Kim on piano. ENJOY.

Listening

Listening, I know people who are real good listeners, you ever met a person like that. I am like that sometimes, sometimes. Some people have that ability to listen, those people even have the look, you know that look like they care, because they actually do. Some times we need to be good listeners, & talk less let the people vent a little. It will make there day or evening, help them sleep at night. If you are like me I like to just bottle everything in, don’t want to bother people, actual friends & family with my problems. As I am driving my wife can see me in thought, & ask me,” What are you thinking about?” I will reply to her,” nothing” when in fact I am not thinking about anything its weird I guess. She always tells me, “I wonder what is going on inside that head of yours.” But just be a good listener you might help some one. I guess I have to open more up to my wife; I don’t want to bother her with the little things like work & stuff. I think it will be a waste of time. Beside when I leave work I really don’t want to talk about work. I would like to have more time, hmm, time is so precious yet we take it for granted, but that’s another blog. Listening I guess it has an art to it, you have to practice to be a good listener, some people it just come natural. I wrote this to just say that Thanks for listening & letting me vent. You know who you are, when we talk, it’s one on one time I guess. To my wife especially who has to listen to me complain all the time, & Bro & Sis in Christ, Thanks for listening.

P.S. Had this blog on hold for a while so just now I decide to post it.
