I feel Naked!!!

I work 48 hour shifts for AMR ambulance in LaCygne, KS. I took out yesterday morning and got half way here and realized that I had left the house without my guitar! As an avid musician, it is kind of like being in a shopping mall naked. I HAVE to play my guitar at least once a day. So needless to say, I am going through withdraw! Anyway...
The first half of my shift was rather uneventful. We had some training to do, so we did that in the morning. We then had a call here in town, but the patient did not want to go to the hospital, so he refused. I spent the rest of the shift hanging out with my partner. Her name is Angela. She is about 8.5 months pregnant and I swear is about to pop. She is pretty cool. She smokes though. I give her plenty of guff for it too. Yesterday after she lit one up, I said..."do you hear that...listen..I hear a baby crying....it is coughing too. Wait, I hear it say mommy, you are killing me!" She did not care for my comments. So I told her that someone had to fight for the baby. HAHA!!
I also had the chance to talk to her about my disdain for gossip. We spoke about it for a while and I am pretty sure she felt some conviction about it. She is married to an ordained minister (who hates her smoking too). It was a good talk and I believe God was all over it.
I am reading in Proverbs right now. It helps me to stay grounded. here is my verse of the day....
Proverbs 13:3
He who guards his lips guards his life,
but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.
Seems kinda interesting that this scripture follows the conversation I had yesterday.
I look forward to this time tomorrow. I will be just about home and have another 4 days off. My kiddos have spring break next week and I am jazzed about that. I love spending time with them. We are going to spend some time fixing up our travel trailer for our upcoming trip to Colorado. I cannot wait! 8 days of no working, no TV, no business stuff, just me, my family and some friends hanging out in the mountains and eating camp food.
Bye for now. DJ
