While the waiting goes on the blessings are coming

It is April now and just last week we had our last snow fall. I've heard of "April showers bringing May flowers" but I'm not sure that is what the writer had in mind.

After the snow (which didn't stick) we did have some good rain fall which then swelled the rivers and the streets. Out the front of the Plemons house we had 6 inches of water flowing in the street due to a blocked drain at the top of the park opposite the Plemons residence.

The water rushing through the park washed away the baseball diamond and eroded the "soccer pitch" that the local Mexican league plays on. The council will of course fix it , just when is the question. Hopefully it is before the Summer so the league can use it.

Tax day (April 15th) has come and gone and even though we weren't here for much of 2007 we still had to submit our share. I was left late and once again we had to do the midnight run to get ours postmarked on the right date but now it is done for another year.

These last 2 weeks have been a rush of replies to job apps that I had sent out and so now I have about 5 potential job opportunities where before I had none. Some are local here to the QCA, another is in Chicago and another is back in Kansas City. The last one is the same job I missed out on in late Nov. / early Dec. Apparently someone left a hole in the workplace and they are now looking to me to fill it. They have to go through the same process and get approval from head office but it looks like it will go through this time.

I guess it is the old adage, "If it doesn't rain, it pours" so now I am pray God to give me wisdom in choosing the right opportunity for my career.... and to bring back to rememberance everything I ever learned about AutoCAD, Revit and anything else.
