Brett Favre is still the man OR Brett Favre is an overpaid drama queen????

That is the question for today. Everyone is weighing in....on the news, on facebook status updates, in their journals before bed. It would be a sad life to be famous I think....everyone paying so much attention to every little thing you do. Still I say..... "How could you? The Vikings...REALLY???". 

I got an EA (excused absence) today. This means there were too many nurses scheduled on our floor and no other floor needed help....from there we take turns with who gets them. Generally, these are a heaven-sent little treat...........no better feeling than being offered the day off when you are still desperately trying to drag yourself out of bed at 5:30 or 5:45 in the morning...........aaaahhhhh roll over and go back to sleep, all is well with the world! Of course, there is looming dark side to EA's....the fear that they will soon become mandatory with all of the current cut-back stuff. Then what was a nice unexpected day off will be "oh no, this is the 3rd one this pay period, i really needed to work today to pay my bills".  Time will tell.

Godstop: 

" For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose." - Phil 2:13.  How reassuring to remember that God is "at work/aiding/putting forth power" in us to guide our minds and actions. I want to remember this every time I have a chance to comfort or pray with a patient, every time I have a chance to speak truth at the DDH, every time a co-worker asks me about my faith.  A dear sister recently told me of a situation she was in (she was trying to speak truth into someones life and felt like she was in spiritual warfare)....she said what was amazing was that she had to rely on God- He was all the resource she had- she had to trust that He would guide her in the right words during that critical time.  Just an example of how He comes through for us because He is always with us!!
