Several Storms

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Mark 4: 39 (NIV)

This familiar story has new meaning to me. It's more personal. God has allowed several storms to come upon me at one time in order to get my attention and focus on Him. He allowed the heat to get turned up pretty high on one issue. With obedience and faith, and His timing, it was as if He spoke to my storms in a firm voice and said "Okay, that's enough, PEACE, be still"

There is no other feeling like when God calms your storm when it has been crashing down on you, and you know it is Him taking care of you.

At the shop

This looked a lot better when I was taking a picture of it. It kind of looks likes a plate of garbage on screen.

Things I've learned in 2 weeks (66 hours)

1) Dustinator - a flour like corn meal substance used to spread the dough out and gets all over everything in the shop

2) Don't judge a tip by the curb appeal of the destination

3) If you get a bad pizza, you can probably narrow it down to one issue - temperature

4) The city has many more subdivisions than I thought it did

5) It takes the same amount of time to cook anything we offer:
pizza, breadsticks, desert pizza, chicken strips, hot wings, cheesesticks

6) Truck drivers at the terminal are consistently the best tippers.

Sufficient for the day...

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." NKJV

I find that the same scripture speaks to me differently and different times. Today it brings peace, focus, and some new found humor.
