My favorite weekday!

So I had a wonderful Tuesday. I have to admit(with the risk of hurting some people's feelings) that I love Tuesdays. Tuesday right now is my best day for many reasons. First I start the work day off at the ABLE school doing presentations on bullying and respect, the students there are very outgoing and I have a great time there every time. The ABLE school is 5-8 grade students all mixed up together according to their learning styles and levels. It's a really neat concept.
Then I leave there quickly and go eat lunch at Murray Middle School. Jeff, you're a pastor now, you can't hang out with teenagers all the time I bet you're thinking. Wrong! Where else can I go and sit down in a room full of church prospects, nowhere that I can think of. The group we have at Murray is awesome and they are fun and always inviting more friends to come to youth and I meet a few new people every time.
Yesterday, when I got done at Murray I had a few stops to make and then I ran out and sat down with my pastor. Yes, every Pastor needs to have a pastor and I find that in David Beauchamp. David was my pastor as a child and I always enjoy sitting down and learning from him. He's an amazing mix of pastor and preacher that is rare in my opinion.
After I left there, Tara and the girls were going to the grocery store after school so I went to teh church and painted some more. I painted the top gable in the front and when I get a second coat on it tomorrow I will be pretty much done with the painting in the front for a while. Then I want to paint the little pump house building under the sign and the same colors as the church building.
Then I will shift my focus to the inside for a while. We need to get our old nursery painted and taken care of quickly so that we can put our best foot forward as new families start coming in, and they will, believe me they will.
SO all is well in the Gatlin household, I got home just in time to play a game of basketball iwth Alexa. She beat me again even though I raised the hoop up another foot. She's something else, I'm excited about the future with that kid. The other one, well she needs a punching bag and a fast bike and she is entertained for hours.
Thanks for reading and have and awesome Hump Day!
