A frequent bumper sticker quote thrown around recently: "Want to make God laugh? Tell him your plans." Well, my plans for this evening were along the lines of do laundry, go grocery shopping, wash the mixer bowl that I mixed cake in last Thursday, scrape off the cookie sheets...

Instead I poisoned more fire ants (who had migrated and built their home around the bag of fire ant poison), turned a six foot bookshelf into a three foot bookshelf, and spent time with a friend.

Today at work was hectic with lots of database problems and smaller operator problems and being a little short staffed and getting to the end of the week.

God provides friends for "such a time as this."
