Happy Friday the 13th!
The story of the day was turbulent and wet air...in other words it was windy and rainy. The winds started howling this morning from the southeast. I showed up to the information booth wearing long johns and an extra fleece underneath my work uniform of khaki pants and a fleece. I still was a little chilly.
As expected, work was slow today. For those who did brave the chilly weather and joined us at the Jordan Pond House, the most common sentiment was: gee, it's cold out. Jami, Sarah, and I all worked today. By 3:30, our boss came in and told us to talk amongst ourselves to decide who would go home. I took one for the team and headed out into the pouring rain. My early dismissal turned out well because it gave me time to practice my talk/sermon/message for Sunday several times.
Today was also payday! I only worked one week of the last pay period, so my check wasn't for a whole heck of a lot. I'll be honest, I was a little upset when I saw my check. I greedily thought it should be bigger. But then I realized the following: 1) for the amount of work I did, the amount of money I received seems fair. 2A) I wouldn't be here in Acadia if not for being on the A Christian Ministry in the National Parks team...so ministry comes before money. Plus, 2B) God provides for my needs not my desires. 3) my check is the amount I earned after my dorm and food expenses had been deducted. I have a roof over my head, food in a table in front of me, and I still have money left over. And 4) I made more money last week than billions of people did.
I almost made it through an entire World Cup match this evening, but I ended up sleeping through the last 20 minutes. Although I don't dislike soccer (football), apparently I like napping more.
No picture of the day today. The wi-fi signal is too weak to do an upload. Instead, picture in your mind a rain drop being blown by the wind. Enjoy!
