About Me and My Blog

I am a Christian wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, friend and who ever else I am. I have been married for thirty-one years to my best friend, Greg. We live in a small town in East Texas. I am the FCS County Extension Agent. I enjoy sewing, camping, gardening, spending time with family, traveling, riding with Greg on his motorcycle. I am learning about beekeeping, soapmaking, rainwater catchment and other farmish type activities.
The name of my blog comes from a sermon I heard once about a time when Paul had been arrested and was being taken to Rome as a prisoner. The ship, on which he traveled found safe harbor, for the winter, at a place called Fairhaven. The captain of the ship wasn't content with staying so he set sail again and later was ship wrecked. I apply this to my life in that I want to be content with where God has me and what he has for me. If I am not I may end up like the ship that carried Paul, shipwrecked.

Day 23

Monday, December 27, was day 23
We received a phone call from Gary that Shannon and James had walked off the job, quit. Next, Rhiannon called and asked if Mike should go out there. Greg jumped up and got dressed and headed to Pearson's. By 10:00 or 10:30 Craig and Susan were there. We spent the day working out the details to keep the family business going. Greg started doing the front-end work. Mike was the extra hands and Rhiannon took over the office. Susan and I went to the bank.
At the end of the day. We all ate dinner together and had a business meeting. What started out a horrible day ended quite well. Greg has decided to go back to work full time at Pearson's, which is something he was wanting to do, but just didn't know how to approach it with Shannon and James there. Greg just told me Saturday he was tired of doing what he was doing. Rhiannon has her old job back and the business is back in the hands of the owners, which is where is should have always been anyway.
Now, we are praying for wisdom in what needs to be done for the business to be truly a success. Thank you, Lord for working these things out for us and that it happened at a time when everyone was off work and free to pitch in and help.
