This marks the first Saturday that I help slept in a long time.  It felt like college life all over again, except for the fact that I had 7 years of the “sleep-in Saturday.”  The news stated that it could be snowing this morning so I got up and looked outside and what do I see, RAIN.  Rain, Rain, Rain, it always rains.   If I was a depressed person I would have to leave the good ole South and go somewhere else.  I’ve heard that when it Rains people become more depressed as usual.

On to other subjects, yesterday was great in that I got to catch up on some paperwork in the office and round up some other stuff that I have been meaning to do.  The highlight of yesterday was my trip to Theodore.  Josh Woods posted status on his facebook that said this, “just got one of Mobile’s best Cheese Steaks for lunch. I support small business one sandwich at a time.”  When that popped up I was like, “I love Cheese Steaks.”  So after a few hours Josh finally posted where he ate the cheese steak it was about the time I needed to leave to go to the bank, around 3:45.

D’Michaels is the place and Cheese Steaks are their forte.  As soon as I walked in the “mom” on the store said, “Are you Charlie’s cousin?”  Assuming the fact that I had a cousin named Charlie I said, “Yes I am.”  Mom then started describing how great Charlie was to us, how she missed him, and how she wishing the Liquor Store next door could have kept going.  That was when I said, “I think you have me confused with someone else.”  Come to find out after a few minutes of conversation she thought I was his Filipino cousin.  I guess all the Asians look alike.

I then ordered one of the famous Cheese Steaks and the conversation began again.  We started talking about church, bus ministry, youth ministry and all that stuff.  They are heavily involved in Lighthouse Baptist Church in Theodore, which is across the street from Nan Gray Davis Elementary where Nicole teaches 1st grade.  The first thing she said about the business is that it is going ok, but could you pray for us.  She didn’t say anything about bringing us more business or trying to get me to buy something else but only to pray for us.  For someone that is in business (not for ministry but for their main income) that comes pretty shocking.

So this is my push: for anyone reading this to go to D’Michaels and buy the greatest Cheese Steak that I have ever eaten.  Wow! that thing was good.  They are down to earth Jesus following folks that will give you great service and a great cheese steak.  They cater also which is awesome…..on the low low

On the out as it starts to snow in good ole GB, keep Christ first always and God will bring you blessings,
