I believe I made a promise....

One that I have not yet fulfilled.

Here is the promise.

Here is part of the reason it hasn't been fulfilled.

And now, the new promise:
The fulfillment is coming.

Tomorrow night.

Wondering why - and it's not good.

------- we interrupt this broadcast to bring you some ranting--------

Why it always seems like money is wasted when the product isn't exactly what you'd expected, but saved money and will work great - help with limitations, help with little hands, help with budget. Why is it that you must order new, larger bags (which cost more to begin with) and then have to pay for rush processing and shipping?

Why does it always happen when it is the most stressful time already?

Why is it that no one can make a decision without going through someone else?

Why is it that there seems to be no trust, no appreciation, no team attitude, no lifting others up, only pushing them down - hard and fast?

Why?


I know: let's stress everyone out past their limit (x10) and see how long they last. Then when we need to replace 4 people, and are wondering why, maybe this will be the telling thing. Will this be remembered?

No. No, it won't.

Coming Soon...

Update on the conference to San Diego.

In other words, I'll be posting the eventful/insightful/interesting/hilarious/cool parts of the past 4 days (March 14-17).

Look for it.
You know you want to.

Welcome to the Busy Season

This is it.

With Easter fast approaching, volunteer needs growing, tasks multiplying, and... I don't even know what else, I am finding myself out of whack. or feeling whacked. whichever.

Occasionally, things make me smile hugely, but mostly it's the insane laughing that comes with losing your mind. and i'm not the only one doing it... sometimes I wonder if the folks downstairs can here our crazy laughter and wonder what in the world is going on up in our little corner of the building...

Crazy, longer than planned (or completely unplanned-at least by us) meetings, too much to do in not enough time, longer hours than should be legal, and a mind that doesn't stop thinking about it all when it leaves the building. Woah.

in fact, i've been so busy that this is Day 3 of trying to write this post. I began it on Tuesday afternoon. yikes. and i'm so distracted and ... unable to make any sense in my brain right now, that i can't even think of a good way to end this post. so this is it.

over. over and out.

Goodness Gracious, by B. Reith

Well these mountains I’m climbing
One step at a time
And keep on getting more steeper
Valley’s getting deeper

I’m not sure how much further
I’ve got 'til it's over
I keep looking for a short cut
Stressed out and getting worked up

But you told me to be still
Know this is your will

Goodness gracious
I’m so anxious
How much longer can I take this?
What happened to all my patience?
Where did it go?

I’m gonna hold on
Keep on waiting
Keep the blank from dissipating
Keep these hopes and dreams from fading
oh oh uh oh

Well I’m tired of all these questions
Keep on second guessing
I’ve been taught the lesson
It’s not getting through

I’ve felt so much pressure
That I can't even measure
But when I’ve become lesser
That’s when you come through

Yeah, you told me to be still
Know this is your will

Goodness gracious
I’m so anxious
How much longer can I take this?
What happened to all my patience?
Where did it go?

I’m gonna hold on
Keep on waiting
Keep the hope from dissipating
Keep these hopes and dreams from fading
oh oh uh oh

Do not be anxious and do not be afraid
But be strong and courageous instead
Be patient in affliction faithful in prayer
Because our God is with us
He will deliver
He is mighty to save

Goodness gracious
I’m so anxious
How much longer can I take this?
What happened to all my patience?
Where did it go?

I’m gonna hold on
Keep on waiting
Keep the hope from dissipating
Keep these hopes and dreams from fading
oh oh uh oh
