Top 5 things I do while saving gas

I was listening to the DJ's on Power FM 89.7 discuss the horrendous gas prices and how we can save gas by driving at (GASP!!!) 60 mph on the freeway. They wanted people to write in and tell how they are saving gas...so here are my top five ways to save on gas.

5. Because I'm ONLY driving 60 mph, I can now count the little bumps between the lanes.

4. ...I can actually see that there is a PARTY CITY off of Parker that I didn't know was there (I needed to go by on yesterday that's why this is vital information)

3. ...I can get a really good look at the BACK of all the cars that are passing me to see if I really want to buy them someday.

2. ...I spend most of my drive home or to work wishing that I was going my usual speed along with all the other gas wasters on the freeway (this really does help make my time on the road go faster for some odd reason).

1. Because I'm ONLY driving 60 mph, I can count how many policemen I pass who I won't have to worry about because I was actually driving the speed limit!!!

What are you doing to save money on gas these days??

spammed?

Anyone ever get spammed on their blog in the comments section? I just realized that I had some spam in the comment section of a previous post. Hmmmmm! Who knew that spam would follow you wherever you go!!

Busy Days

Goodness...I just looked at the date of my last post and it's been A LONG TIME!!! There has been so much going on lately with work that there doesn't seem to be much time for anything else. I know that's not a good balance, but some of the changes have been very time and thought consuming. So what is new?

As an official member of the Fellowship Church Plano campus, I am not officing out of the Plano offices. This is a good thing because I get a lot more work done out here than I ever did at the Grapevine offices. Plus I really like my office here a lot better. It's brighter and there are actually people around. The plan is to spend one day at the Grapevine campus to have meetings and get things turned in. I'm excited about this change!

Another thing is that I'm going to go on a mission trip to Belize in October. While I'm very excited about this, there are many things that I need to do to get ready for the trip. I'm slowly figuring all of that out. It's somewhat difficult for someone like me who likes to know all the details in advance to plan a trip without knowing all the details of where we are going to be and what we will be able to do there. Anyway, that will be an awesome trip and I'm excited about it!

Friday night I had the opportunity to take my preschool leadership team out for dinner. We got the chance to connect and I was able to share the direction I want us to take the preschool! We are starting a one + one campaign where I ask everyone to bring in one new person by the end of the year. That way we are taking this one person at a time and I'm getting everyone involved. I want all the Plano Preschool to feel that they have some ownership stake in the preschool. I'm almost fully "staffed" with leaders now. I just lack 2 more people and then we are ready to fly!

I guess that's about it for now. I'm staying busy at home too. The dogs keep me on my toes, as does Ed! But we are truly enjoying the work that God has called us to do. It's a blessing to be a part of this amazing ministry while we are on the Earth!
