| Are we different?Why do Christians blend so well into the world?
At work I can't tell the difference between coworkers who are saved and those who are lost. They all go to clubs, drink, use vulgar language, and much worse.
Aren't we supposed to stick out? Haven't we been called to a higher standard? What happened to setting an example? Being a witness?
Are we afraid to be different? Worried that people might make fun of us or think we're not cool? Are we that caught up in wondering what others think about us to the point where we can't stand up for Jesus?
Personally, I want everyone out there to know who I belong to, who I follow and what I believe.
Don't be a chicken. Don't be a coward.
Stand up and speak out for Christ.

| Too Much Sun. Too Little H2O.Last week I worked 45 hours out at the pool. I enjoy lifeguarding, but after that many hours, the last thing I want to do is hang out at the pool. I worked another 30+ hours this week. I was scheduled for 45, but yesterday my body finally got the message to me that it had had enough.
We were short a guard and there were too many people in the pool. The manager added in another rotation and took away a break. I was the first one to rotate in, so I was in the stand for two hours. No water. I was already not feeling so great to begin with, but by the time the first hour had gone by I knew I couldn't make my whole shift.
I kept telling the other guards as we rotated that I felt sick, ready to pass out, asking if I could go home early. I was told we didn't have enough guards, I had to stay. By the time I got to my 20 minute break, I was done. The manager had me stick around for another hour.
I don't know how I got home, I know I almost blacked out twice. By the time I got out of my car and walked to Mama on the front porch the whole world was spinning and I felt like I couldn't catch my breath. My whole body was tingling and numb.
Mama ended up taking me to the Dad's office where they had to give me 2 liters of IV's. Today I'm just laying low, drinking a lot. I'm exhausted.
You other guards out there- drink water!!
News Flash to pool managers- if your guard says he/she is gonna pass out, send them home! Now!

| So I'm 22 today... wow, that never seemed so old until now. I don't feel 22. I don't look 22. I feel like I'm 18 and I look like I'm maybe 16, 17, ok 18 might be pushing it a bit far.
This morning I stopped by the hardware story with Daddy to get a new electrical box to keep my cows in (that story is for another time), and the lady knew Daddy from work and it just happened that she has 8 children too! So of course she wanted to know where in the line-up I fell and how old I was. I knew what was coming as soon as I said it. I dropped the 22 bomb on her. There was the look I know so well... the eyes popping out, the mouth falling open, the typical "I don't believe you" look. Thankfully she didn't say anything other then "ohhh." So goes the story of my life.
I told Mom I'm going to stay 21 for awhile and when I finally start looking my age, I'll start having birthdays again. 
Mom made me my favorite- apple pie!
