The shifts were long in the heat, but we made a lot of money. I was at the same stand as Krista, Chase, Eric,Le Norris and Phillip. I think it was Chase who brought up that he thought I use to be a hardcore rock groupie. Lol. Yeah, right. They also picked on me for being through. I'm glad we stopped in Decatur first and saw Karen, PD and PK. On the way home, we had lunch with Lacey and Sarah at McAllisters and went shopping and to Starbucks with them and Brittney, Morgan and Logan. John boy brought Emily, Lacey, Sarah and I out to dinner for buffalo wings and we left cute notes all over the church since no one was there. It was so good to see everyone again. The only thing I would change would be to swap out the people at each stand, since I didn't get to see or talk to many people. At least I got to know a few of them better and got a ride in my dream car: a brand new Mustang convertible! It should come with a warning label that it may put people's hair in knots. My parents got to hang out with Bruce and Amber, who are now dating. I'm happy for them...Krista gave me a hard time and told LeNorris that I like him. Its not that I have a crush on him. He's a sweet guy, is hilarious and has a really big heart. I can see being good friends with him. We also learned that Daniel and Jessica are getting married!

Well...its off to Lifest...again! So glad I got to see David Crowder the other night! Today is Denver and the Mile High Orcestra and I want to get cds and t-shirts!

More later,

Heather:)

Sunday Afternoon-

We went to Lifest this morning for worship with Chris Tomlin and Denver and the Mile High Orcestra. Does anyone know if Chris is single? Lol. I must admit...he's easy on the eyes..to old for me, so we'll leave it at that.

A girl that was on the bungie jump died when the harness broke and she fell almost a hundred feet. Liz was only fifteen...how terrible. I prayed for her last night and we all did today. I'm glad she's in a better place, even though her death doesn't make sense and she must have been really freaked out when she knew what was going to happen.

 I worked for Jars of Clay on Saturday. I didn't get to meet them, but it was cool to hear them speak about Blood Water and Africa. Emily was at the NoonDaySun booth. It was there first time at Lifest since they are from Washington and do school assemblies. We tried to get people to come and see them by handing out free buttons, but the crowds didn't look very big. I guess they will catch on with time, though. Also, there was a comedian guy who balenced a HUGE latter on his face and rode a unicycle while holding a wooden stick with a spinning ball in his mouth and juggling. I got the new Switchfoot cd and a shirt and hope I can hang out with Lindsey tonight...

Tuesday afternoon-

I saw a picture of Liz on the news and remember seeing her volunteering in a tent that I was in. We made eye contact and smiled at each other. Its crazy how you walk past people every day without acknowledging them, not because you don't care, but because you think you're to busy or don't imagine them having a life of their own. When I picture her, I want to cry. She had so much ahead of her that she won't be able to experience. I glad she's probably in heaven right now and like to think she was looking in on Lifest on Sunday morning. I don't know who she was, but she had an impact on my life...and many others by the sound of it.

I'd like to add a story about a day that could have been from hell, but ended up showing us that God was there and in control of our situation.

One Day in Moss Point, Mississippi:

*It rained so much that we had to close down our Fireworks stand several times to keep the product dry.

We weren't were the tornado was and got to have some interesting people come inside.

*Chase's car got stuck in the mud. I mean, really stuck.

Luckly, one of our customers pulled it out.

*Our stand got hit by a Mustang whose breaks went out, cutting off our power.

It came back on about a minute later.

*When it wasn't raining, we were all running around like chickens with our heads cut off.

We made over $5,700.00.

*We got eaten alive by bugs and it was waaaay to hot outside.

The rain cooled the area down.

*Le Norris and Krista had a disagreement about what food to buy for dinner.

One of our costumers brought us ribs and we still had $40 to spend on chicken, chips and soda.

*A car broke down and pulled into the parking lot by the stand. Inside was a family that had three blown out tires on the way to the hospital with a little boy who had a temp of 108 degrees.We got to pray for him and give the mom and boy a ride. He ended up having a 24 hours infection and being able to go home the next day.
