Things that ahave been going on.

Tuesday was a bitter sweet ting. What I am talking about the group that was here this last week. They really work well together. Some groups come in and there seems to be a problem here or there. But this team was pretty much, what needs to happen? Let us do it right and right now. Pastor Arie, he was the one over seeing this group. A real nice guy and he had a gentle spirit about him. I never saw him get up set or even say anything with a loud voice. Plus there was one guy, named Gary,(fireman) He was willing to do what ever was need at the time. I even pulled him to the side a couple of times. Saying you need to have these kids do the work. He told me that they had a rough day and he just likes to bless them. The pictures below, Kevin and his two good friends, sorry not sure of names. Kevin really had a good time. He went with them each day and helped out with VBS and then went to the guys home. I was told Kevin was very much a big part of their team. He help with puppets and even had a chance to share his story with them. I am so blessed to be able to see God's hand on this kid's life. I know Tuesday was a sad day for him. He had to say good bye to some good guys and I know he will miss them very much. He was telling me that, that night he talked with most of them by Face Book. So now Kevin has more people to e mail and Face book.
Okay about the gas stations. Tuesday night on the ZNS TV news here. They were saying the owners of all the gas station, Texaco,Esso and Shell. Were having a meeting to make a discussion on when to strike? The reason is, The government here over sees the prices of gas and diesel. That means, the owners really have to do as they are told. So they need to raise their prices, so they can make a more profit. Since 2002, they have been making only $.44 pre gallon. That has not chance since then (2002) So they want a raise. The cost of pretty much every thing has gone up. But not their pay. I understand why now.
I use to manage a gas station, Mobile. Back then our prices were up to what ever we wanted them to be. I remember in 1972 there was a shortage of gas. So our prices were higher than the rest. $.49 a gallon. We were next to the Turn Pike in New York. So we had the people coming and going. Really not that many station back then. We closed the station after we were told we could only sell 20,000 gallons a month. We use to sell twice or three times as much as that. It really was not worth staying open.
