I have had so many things happen this week…. To start off Monday I had to do a lot of driving to do with work. I needed gas in my truck bacause I was on E. I drove to the gas station closest to the house. When I got there I found out that the pump was messed up and when I would try to enter my pin number the wrong numbers would go in. This caused my account to lock me out. My room mate helped me out tons and gave me his American Express card to get gas till I could get my account fixed. Then I was on my way to Athens to look at some land for work. I got to see tons of deer running around and just felt better about everything else from the morning.

Then on the way back I saw a homeless man with a sign trying to get money on the exit ramp off I-85 and Jimmy Carter. There was one problem… He was talking on a cell phone. When were the homeless given cell phones? Needless to say I did not give any money.

Then the same day when I got back to the office I had a lady that I work with come up and tell me that her brother was wanting to talk to me. I will give you some back ground… Last year I worked as a bouncer at a club for like 2 months. I had no idea why I did that. Anyway I met this lady’s brother there. He was into stuff that he should not have been. Then he got into some legal trouble. The courts told him that he could no longer hang out with the same people. He has hit rock bottom and is ready to change his life. He told his sister he wanted to talk to me cause he needed some positive people in his life.  I did not know how to take this at first but then I started to think. What if God had me work as a bouncer just to put me in this guys life. I have worked with kids ranging in age from Middle school to High School for a few years now, but he is older than me. So far we have spoken on the phone some and he just seems to like having someone to talk to and hold him accountable.

The rest of the week has been somewhat uneventful… till friday. I found out today that I am going to get let go next week. I have been talking to different people and getting a new job lined up for me. I am sure I will talk more about this in the future.
