My Week

What a week it has been. I’ll have something over 30 hrs on the road taking kids to school and home. I sat down one day and figured I drive 425-450 miles a week. That’s not the most driven by some of our drivers. Others go to Jacksonville for hub runs. One day one school lost its water supply and we had to go in early to take the kids home. Some of us ran three schools and doubled some of one of our schools on the same run. We need drivers bad. It led me to do something that broke my cardinal rule, but I realized it and did my best to fix it. It was noted by the Trans Office and knows it won’t happen again.

Then today I went for my biopsy results. It’s officially noted. I have a very low grade of 1 on a scale of 1-5 for prostate cancer. It was found from my surgery back in July. I’m told there will be no treatment since it is so low-grade. I never figured this since no one in my family had cancer except Mike and his was from breathing coal dust at a site in VA where they buried the burnt coal from power plants. No one in my immediate family has ever lived as long as I have, so I’m in uncharted territory. Still, I’m blessed to still be active and functioning on the scale I work at.

All-in-all I praise God we got back from our trip in time to see a young lady (and some others) be baptized last Sunday evening. I met her about three weeks ago when she was looking for a church home. Then Sunday evening I met her husband and his parents. They are all good people.

Hope all of you are having a great week ending Friday. Then it will get cold again for a few days then warmer and possibly rain next week. The wonderful weather in NC never fails.

About JimR, Chaplain

I'm a 74-year-old guy, in October 2024, who worked in Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune for 28 years and now retired as of 31 Dec 16. I've worked in medical records, the Health Benefits Department, Billing, and the IT department and retired as the Personnel Security Manager for the hospital. I'm a musician and Corvette enthusiast. Yes, I have had two. I traded my second Corvette for a Harley Davidson Fat Boy in mid-summer 2019. Then in 2024, I traded to an HD FreeWheeler FLRT. I've already ridden the new one a thousand miles in 6 weeks. I'm also searching for a fresh new outlook on life with new spiritual insight among other things. I was ordained a minister in 20190202. I've become certified with the American Chaplaincy Association through Aidan University in June '21. I've found that with the unconditional love of my companion, Libby Rowe life is complete through God. She's a beautiful, vibrant, giving woman who gives her all in everything she puts her mind to do. She and I married on 24 July 2015. She was ordained in February 2022. She has a blog too called Under a Carolina Moon. Give it a visit.
