Nursing Homes smell like bleach and nasty tacos...

Nursing homes are filled with old people. I work in a nursing home. does that make me an old person?
In two days, I've seen false teeth, false legs, and false niceness. And, I now know what nursing homes are cleaned with: bleach! Bleach it all! This is not the best nursing home around, so they definitely aren't working to try and make it feel like it's not a nursing home.
Within the first couple of hours working there, I realized I was in desperate need of Christ to work IN and THROUGH me to do my job over the next 13 weeks. I began to pray that I would have the grace to treat and interact with each patient as if I was treating and interacting with Christ. And, God is good.

In other news, the 45 minute drive to and from work every day is actually kind of nice. I head east in the morning and get to see the sunrise, and I head west in the afternoon and get to see the sunset. So much beauty in the West Texas BIG Sky! I'm thinking of getting some Books on CD, because I've realized that morning radio shows just aren't that great. Local Library, Here I come!

Be sure to Thank all the veterans around you today for the time and service they dedicated to our country. God Bless America!
