Hi friends! Thanks for all the ratings, comments, and messages. I pray for you daily and hope God is blessing you with His love. The last time I wrote I had just started a new job and was in the process of looking for another one. Well, that was in January. Now it's May and I'm still working at Bi-Lo. It's been an interesting test. I work with women. That's not always a bad thing, but I get along well with men because of my love of sports. Also, I have 2 brothers and no sisters. lol Anyway, getting along with women day in and day out is sometimes a challenge. I have had to tell them I do not care to hear about their sex lives or anything of that sort. It's amazing, to me, how open women are in sharing intimate details to anyone who will listen. To me, that's personal and shouldn't be shared. Telling someone, or even showing someone, a private picture of a man...well -- I still can't believe it. Maybe I'm naive. What I have learned is that men are far more respectful towards women than we are towards each other. Women gossip, complain, and talk about anything and everything. Men, at least, are far less likely to share intimate details with a woman. I guess that's why it's easier for me to befriend a man than a woman. I know I won't hear that nonsense when talking with a man. lol This is probably not true for everybody. It's just true for me and my current situation.

Now for a prayer request or two. I have befriended a man that is in need of prayer. His name is Matt. He's lost both of his parents. His grandmother is dying. He has a brother who is not the best influence. He likes the girls. Worst, he has a drinking problem. He's a great guy who is in a lot of pain. I adore him. I ache for him. I listen to him. I consistently want to hug him. Jesus is the answer. Not girls or alcohol. I hope you'll pray for him and his brother.

Another friend has 2 children. He lost his drivers license. He also has a drinking problem that he is trying to get control of. His name is Shay. He's aware of his problems, but unaware of the role he has played in them. He's also at a loss on how to fix them. He needs to look in the mirror and realize God loves him, forgives him, etc.

Thank you for your prayers, love, support and friendship!
