Please excuse my absence. Life is ca-ray-zee with no signs of letting up. I leave on a bus for New Orleans on Monday. Posts may be few and far between in the next week and a half. Such is life.
Even in the last five days, I have little to say, but let me tell you a Marilyn-the-administrative-assistant story. They’re always good.
I went into work on Tuesday around 9:30. Banker’s hours, Marilyn says. I don’t even open my office door; I just head straight for Marilyn’s office to check in. We exchange pleasantries and then she delivers exciting news.
The girls and I went to the casino yesterday, she said.
Oh, really?
I was the big winner of the group. I always give 10% of my winnings to the church and I’ve decided to give that portion to Red Oak Grove.
That’s very nice of you.
She smirked and pushed a nickel and penny my way. Here you go.
She won 55 cents and rounded up to a six-cent tithe for the glory of God and mission of the church.
Thanks, Marilyn.
there's no place like gnome.
