Well I hope.<\/p>\n<p>I write with a purpose today, not just a general thought.  I actually thought about writing this out this evening.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still working at US Airways, at least for the next few days (until I quit).  This job has all doors closed to it, locked doors.  It bugged me because I really hoped for this job to be a great job for me.  I don&#8217;t know &#8211; but I do know I shouldn&#8217;t be in this job for much longer.<\/p>\n<p>Friends are great.  I have some at work that make my day.  Like in all my jobs, I find the people I work with to be simply wonderful.  I&#8217;ve a chance to talk to some people in my row quite extensively due to our job not having things timed out correctly.  We end up learning a lot about each other and it creates a nice atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Flo is one of the people I work with.  She is this nice woman who is in her 40&#8217;s, and been married for about 5 years.  One of my favorite people to talk to while at work.  Well, anyway.  She told me today about a conversation she was having with her husband last night.  The topic some how ended up on me and she told her husband &#8220;if we have kids, I hope they turn out as well as Jason, I would be happy with that&#8221; (they are trying for kids)&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>She told me yeah, your nice and generous, and I would be happy if they turn out like you.<\/p>\n<p>I was so taken back by this comment.<\/p>\n<p>It shocked me- she was almost not going to say anything because she thought I would think it was stupid.  I just had to let her know that it was one of the nicest complements anyone had given me.<\/p>\n<p>Why post this?  To &#8220;toot&#8221; my own horn?  Hardly.  I admit that within the first minute I sat in my chair and thought &#8220;wow, I have to be doing something right if she would say something like that&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then I came to my senses.  A bell went off in my head.  Earlier on she saw me reading my book, and in our conversation she mentioned one of her friends gave her the book The Purpose Driven Life and told her to read it.  That&#8217;s how we got to talking.<\/p>\n<p>I then was kinda ashamed at myself for how I initially thought.  All glory be to me!  Yay me, go me.<\/p>\n<p>*waves finger up in the air*<\/p>\n<p>The thought process (thinking about the book) made me think about God.  I want to be a mirror of God.  All glory, all praise in good and bad circumstances alike be to God our Father.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe one of these days, I&#8217;ll get it.  Then I smiled a bit and took time to thank God.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.&#8221;  Albert Einstein<\/p>\n<p>just Pray<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh dear.
