Counting your blessings

I talked with a friend of mine today who recently got fired for not working on the Sabbath. She was hired on with a schedule of working part time Mon-Thurs and did this for 5 weeks. Then suddenly her manager decided that she should work on Sabbath, even though she said she could not from the beginning. I'm surprised when I hear things like this. After all, employers aren't supposed to discrimate against religious beliefs. They are supposed to make reasonable accommodations. But I guess it doesn't always happen that way. It made me realize how blessed I am to work for an organization that encourages my Sabbath rest. Thank-you Florida Hospital!

Hurricane season

On the main page of weather.com today it annonced that there were no tropical threats. And went on to say" Tropical cyclone formation is not anticipated over the next day or two in either the Atlantic or eastern Pacific."

Does anybody else worry about the fact that it is worthy to note that there are NO hurricanes headed our way? I know that a hurricane makes the news. But now the lack of a hurricane is making the news....

Kristin's Wedding

Off to Texas

I'm headed to Texas for the weekend! And yes, I do travel a lot. I know that's what you are thinking right now!

Anyways. Kristin is walking down the the asile this weekend and a bunch of us are headed out to a) walk with her, or b) attend the wedding/take pictures of it! I haven't spent a lot of time in Texas, so hopefully it will be a fun trip. I'll try to post some pics when I get back :)

Have a good weekend everyone!

Sabbath afternooon

So this afternoon I decided to lie down for a little nap. I wasn't sure I was going to ever actually fall asleep because I also read a little and then two of my friends called. But I must have because I had a dream. I don't remember a whole lot except that I was hanging out with some friends at Val's house. And Val, I must subconciously think that you have a really nice house because in my dream we lived on a lake with nice picnic tables outside! But, the odd thing was as I was walking up to the door I thought to myself, I'm not really doing this. I'm not really walking. I'm actually asleep. And the dreamy Kristen was surprised by this. But sure enough I woke up and found myself groggy and in my bed. So, I'm making coffee!
