I was reading last night, and this morning, and I found a really awesome verse in James.
Qualities Needed in Trials
19 *So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
Doers--Not Hearers Only
21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
26 If anyone *among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless. 27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
Well, as I was reading it, I had to question myself, and see if that was me, and in ways it was. I also thought that is was very interesting that it referenced Matthew 7 (he who builds his house on a rock), so I looked it up, and it said," He who hears my word, AND DOES IT, is likened to a man who builds his house on a rock." I never saw that before. It also referenced the verse in Luke 6, the verse where Jesus says, "But why do you call me 'Lord, Lord' and do not do the things in which I say? Whoever comes to me, and hears my sayings and DOES them, I will show you whom he is like:" and He goes on to talk about the man who dug deep to lay his foundation. That made me think, what am I DOING that is digging, and I just lazily pawing at the sand, dirt, clay in my foundation, or am I taking a shovel and really getting it out so that when God comes to lay the foundation, I don't have to question whether or not is on the rock, or is there still a layer of dirt that I did not search for, and pray that God show me, and remove it from me.
The more that I read it, the more I see how it is talking about a humble person, who accepts His word with meekness. it says The PURE and UNDEFILED religion is the opposite of an unbridled tongue, and a deceived heart. And that we are to be unspotted by the world. It made me think, and pray that God show me my heart, and let me not deceive myself, and to show me where I am spotted by the world.
Ok, the bell is about to ring.

What were these kids thinking????
I get to work, and am told to clean the lobby. So for a hour I wipe, sweep, and mop every surface not behind the counter at McDonald's. Then 20 minutes later I go back out to find that a group of teenagers found pleasure by standing on the bench and stepping on a package of ketchup just to watch it explode all over the wall. So I get a rag and begin cleaning...Again. I doubt that you know that McDonald's walls are leaves, yup, leaves with tons of grooves for ketchup to stuck in.
Then Mr. Cup of Caramel came back today, and once again I was on fries ALL DAY LONG... but then I got off early!!
Oh yeah, when on break I came home and ordered these:
It won't show up, but you will see them in 8-10 business days.
I may conform once I get my next pay check and get an iPod, and I will be able to drive our new car by Friday hopefully, whenever we get the license and title.

My Day...
Don't come to McDonalds for like 2 months Bj, that way I will have time to get the order taking process down pat for people like you, and those who prolly talk fast, and get frustrated when they talk fast and I get it wrong, and I have to fix it.
And I don't like any of the food we serve, not a one thing. Maybe the ice cream cone, but now I am sick of it.
And I got put on asembly today, that was interesting, imagine: me make a burger in like 5 seconds, thats never gonna happen. It is supposed to be neat is it not, so why not try to put the mustard and katsup in the middle. I also realized that I HATE tarter sauce, mayonaise, and onions, but I like putting the mayo, tarter, and sipcy chicken sauce on the buns, it is in a tube like caulk, and that is one of my favorite things to do.
And when I make McFlurries I sling ice cream everywhere, and when I make ice cream cone, the look like Buddha sitting on a cone.
And I also burned myself while making grits, I had gotten through the whole process w/o burning anything, then when I was pouring them into the serving container, a drop fell on my wrist / thumb/I don't know what part of my hand. Then directly after that I burned my inner elbow/??? with the biscut pan. So every time I put my hand in the oven mit, it made the burn all hot, and hurt.
And then I washed dishes for like 2 hours, then I nearly fell and broke my neck when I was put on grill, and there was a puddle, and I stepped right in it. My bottom was an inch from tha floor when I caught myself, just in time for no one to see me.
The grossest things I have seen since working @ McDonalds:
1) When we cook meat we scrape the grill, and we have to push it to the side and into a little catching thing, well, that means eggs, chicken, and meat scrappings all get pushed to the side and mixed with all the grease, that comes with it. So you have a bucket of black gooky mess that is added to every day, and just sits in the back.
2) I saw an egg under the dish drying cart, It had been there a LONG, LONG time.
3) A man asked for a sundae cup full of caramel.(gross!!)
4) The stuff they put in a breakfast burrito.( frozen scrambled eggs,(really nasty), frozen bell peppers, and a nasty thing that stinks
A perk to working there, is that when there is something under my nails, all I have to do is wallk to the sink and use its pressure washer like sprayer to clean it out.

Confucious says: Drive thru is really hard.
Llamas
I was put on back windo for like 2 hours tonight, and why can't people just get what they order, w/o changing everything. I can't hit the buttons fast enough, nor take money and an order at the same time, then it never stops, people always come, then when it does stop, it is like a desert, with tumbleweed rollin' down the drive thru lane. And to make it worse I had the "Llama, llama, duck" song stuck in my head, but I kept singing "Llama, llama, cheescake" for some reason.
