maybe i' shouldn't have laughed...

so today at work, roughly 7 minutes after opening... (wait for it)... we got robbed!
not even kidding...
thing is, i didn't even know it happened. it was so subtle. the butler from "Mr. Deeds" would have been proud: "Very sneaky, sir." yeah, the guy came up and said that he was robbing the girl who, by the way is 8 1/2months pregnant, and she gave him a couple hundred bucks in cash. seriously, not even worth it.
when i was told, my eyes widened and a little chuckle came out. i said, "this is so exciting!"
other people didn't see it my way...

Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

the end...?

so today on my lunch break, i typed up my resignation letter...
it finally got to the point where i just couldn't handle it any more. it's kinda sad that i'm not a stronger person, but i realize how adversely the bank actually affects me. seriously, been feeling fairly depressed for at least the last month. and maybe the bank isn't the sole reason for that, but i know it doesn't help.
so i'm looking for a new job. gonna check out this book store by me, a gym, and a grocery store (sadly to say, even though it is one of those "higher-end" stores),
so yeah, i could really use a lot of prayer.
still feeling pretty sad about random stuff...
miss you guys...

Hey... Mandie,

Do you know who a Leland and Sherry McMullen is, who lives in Osage City Kansas? It's a long shot but they gave us a little money, sent it straight to AG and we can't figure out who it is. Just thought I'd ask.

Jim & Casper GO TO CHURCH

Ok, so I get my Relevant Kit this month, and there are once again many books, so I finally took one to work to start reading. I choose this one and it's been an interesting read. I really would like you guys to read it and tell me how you enjoyed it.




Book Description
Jim Henderson pays people to go to church. In fact, he made national news when he "rented" a soul for $504 on E-Bay after its owner offered an "open mind" to the highest bidder. In Jim & Casper Go to Church, Hendrson hires another atheist--Matt Casper--to visit ten leading churches with him and give the "first impression" perspective of a non-believer. What follows is a startling dialogue between an atheist and a believer seeing church anew through the eyes of a skeptic, and the development of an amazing relationship between two men with diametrically opposing views of the world who agree to respect each others’ space. Foreword by George Barna.
FEATURES:

* Unique perspective of both Christian and atheist on the church & Christians in the USA
* Intelligent and respectful, seeking dialogue between key characters
* Helps the Christian understand the change in attitudes and actions required when shifting from defending the faith to defending "sacred space"--from talking to listening, from strength to weakness, from debate to dialogue, from manipulation to intentionality
