Customer Service.

Begin rant.

The guy that is getting so much publicity because he freaked out on a loud speaker and jumped out of a parked plane with two beers.....is an idiot. I've seen him referred to as hero, a guy who just had a melt down, etc. Why is this guy a hero?? Because he stood up for himself? No, standing up for yourself would have been "I'm sorry ma'am or sir, let me help you" not cussing the customer out over a loudspeaker. Ugh. The people who think he is a hero don't take customer service very seriously. I have worked in customer service for a little more than 6 years now, and I know that no matter what your home life is like or what a customer says to you, you slap a smile on your face and do your job. Later, when you are alone, you let off some steam. Or if you are me, you call your best friend or husband and vent until you can't vent anymore.
This guy should have never been in customer service if he couldn't handle a little remark from a grouchy passenger...if that was even the case. Give me a break. I know that being a flight attendant isn't that glorious and you probably don't get treated like you deserve most of the time, but you suck it up and do your job with a big smile on your face. No customer is worth getting fired over.
There are people who are meant to work in customer service and people who aren't. This guy is one of those people who was not meant to work in customer service.

If you can't handle the heat, then get out of the kitchen.

End rant.

Homosexuality vs Heterosexuality.

I don't usually post two blogs in the same week. But I have read a few things this morning that sparked my interest. I always get on a celebrity magazine website and see what Hollywoods problems are today. An article was posted yesterday about Portia de Rossi and Ellen Degeneres. They have been married for two years and Portia is taking Ellen's last name. Many comments were posted saying "congratulations!" and "I'm so happy for them!" Don't get me wrong, I love Ellen Degeneres! She's hilarious and very entertaining. However, I do not agree with her lifestyle. Hate the sin, not the sinner, right? Many brave people commented on that article talking about how the Bible states that this lifestyle is not appropriate (for lack of better words). It bothers me that the people who get on there saying "congrats" and "I'm happy for them" think that they are righteous for accepting the gay/lesbian lifestyle and then when someone else gets on there and states a different opinion, they are ridiculed and said to be "close-minded" and "judgemental". There is a thin line drawn between truth and judgement these days and that really bothers me. Just because someone states the truth, they are being judgemental. The truth, according to the Word, is that an appropriate marriage is between a man and a woman. Anybody can sit and say, "Yah, but who was the Bible written by? Man--who are sinners." Yah, but the New Testiment is a series of speeches and stories by Jesus himself and about Jesus when he was alive. So if I sit down and write a book about my father, and someone reads it thousands of years later, does that mean it isn't true?
I don't want anyone to think I am a judgemental person, because I'm not. Some people will sit and read this blog and say, "yah but you sin, what makes you so different from Ellen and her wife?" The difference is that I admit that I am a sinner, I asked God to forgive me, I know that I will spend an eternity in Heaven celebrating with Jesus! Ellen and Portia, I'm sure are GREAT people, but if they don't recognize their sin and recognize that Jesus is our savior, then they will live a happy life on Earth, unfortunately, they will not spend eternity in Heaven. There is only one other option.
Sad, but true.
Just remember, there is more evidence that Jesus Christ was alive and that he was God than the fact that George Washington was alive.
Christs tomb is empty.

Life.

Nothing crazy has happened lately. Which is good! I am really content with life right now, which I love. This last week, part of the Downs family came into town to spend their yearly week on Beaver Lake. I love them! We got to hang out with them last weekend and this past Saturday. They are always a blast! I also got to hang out with Miss Laura (our cell group leader from High School). She took us out on the boat and we floated around for a while and then went tubing. It was a blast! She is so much fun to hang out with.
We also had our first service at our new church location yesterday. It was really different but really nice! I welcome change with open arms. Pastor Wes preached about Destiny and about Moses and his destiny. I am a nerd so I like to compare things to movies to put it all in better perspective for me. I realized that Moses' story is reflected in the movie "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time". You can think I am a big nerd, but it's pretty much the same story. Boy is adopted by a King (or in Moses case, Pharoh), it is boy's destiny to help save the world. POP is a great movie--it also helps that my favorite actor plays the lead :0).
Last week, Justin and I rescued a puppy. It was completely on a whim but I am so glad we did it. I recieved an email at work about how there was a 7 week old Welsh Corgi that was partially blind and was scheduled to be put down if a home wasn't found. Well this little puppy found a home with Justin and me. His name is Chance and he is the laziest/funniest/sleepiest dog ever and the best part is that he gets along with Captain Jack great!
So there is a look into my life lately. Nothing too exciting.
