You know what???? I had an awesome day today.
Finally after 10 weeks I was able to attend all 3 hours at the Slave Lake Alberta branch. It did take me almost 3 hours to get there, and I did have to pull over on the way home for a little power nap...but it was SO worth it. It was so good to partake of the sacrament, participate in Sunday school....and socialize with people who didn't include the use of the F word in every sentence. I really owe it all to Al who heads up the Slave Lake branch of our company, he had me deliver the time sheets to him in person and as a result I was just down the street from the branch building. And the really good news, I get to go every week from now on.....YIPPEE!
I have found myself caught in a sort of time warp the past few weeks....I have been in contact with friends who I haven't seen or heard from in a really long time. Amidst the reminiscing I came to realize that I haven't always appreciated some people in the way that they deserved... I can't go back and change things and that makes me sad!
OK...I am now ready to talk about the event that causes my recurring nightmare...( PG ADVISORY)
The trailer we live in is divided into two seperate living compartments located on opposite ends. Our living spaces consist of outer doors which open up into our offices and then we have our bedroom doors. A while back my trailer-mate Lonnie let me borrow a DVD which I said I would return later in the evening. He told me to just open up his outer door and place it on his desk. This is what happened:
There was an eery silence in the night air as I approached my trailer mate's front door. I knocked lightly....no answer.
A feeling of uneasiness came over me as I turned the door handle and gently pushed the door open. After my eyes adjusted to the lack of light in Lonnie's office, I placed the DVD on his desk, was about to turn and leave when something caught my eye. Peering deeper into the darkness, looking beyond Lonnie's open bedroom door, I tried to make out a mysterious pale shape. It only took a few seconds for me to realize what it was I was looking at but the image of Lonnie's naked body is burned forever in my mind.

As I am typing this two thoughts come to mind.
First, I am so thankful that Lonnie was facing away from the door. And second, some doors are meant to remain shut.
That's all for this week....
