Turns out the previous owner had installed a cellular phone in the car, and upon removal had left certain wires in very strategic locations.  My car now has a TwinkieTach.  The superbowl was boring and my clothes took too long in the dryer.  I&#8217;m wearing the fuzzy green sweatshirt I got for Christmas.  Work at GNC is going well; my new boss seems to appreciate me quite a bit, a sentiment I didn&#8217;t often experience at HT.  I made $14 on commission Saturday night on top on the hourly rate, and I was training most of the time.  In six hours or so that day, Brian made $100 on commission.  I could get used to that.

Not that I am any more one now, but I do have this conviction:  I will dance.  On many floors and with many pairs of shoes, I will take the assignment He has given to me and gently, in His time, movement by movement, bring His name glory through the fruit of His guidance.
