Life in the Fast Lane

Well, I have survived 2 weeks of work in Corporate America!!  Yea!!! 

But, it is "Life in the Fast Lane".  I leave for work at 6:15, get to work by 7:00 (driving mostly in the literal fast lane).  Leave for home at 4:00, get home by 5:00 (if there is no accidents and the commute turns into "Life in the Parking Lot"). Homework, supper, work for Clean Shield and to bed by 9:30.  Most mornings, I leave Christian a Mom-o-Gram just to touch base with him because he is just waking up as I walk out the door. 

I work on a team at Target Headquarters.  There are three different office buildings that house about 12,000 employees in downtown Minneapolis.  I share a 8 x 8 cubical with a nice guy (hopefully, will have my own cubie in a month or so).   It is interesting to watch all the people the scurry through the skyways in Minneapolis. 

As I cross the Mississippi River each morning,  I am amazed at the beauty of the frozen river with the skyline of Minneapolis in the background. 

I'm thankful for my life, my job and my family that help me take care of all the things that need to be done each day.  I'm especially thankful for Fabulous Friday Family Nights with Tata Chris's Pizza!!  

I am doing a study on Daniel right now and one of the concepts stands out to me.  We are literally living in a Modern Day Bablyon --  and our task is to influence "Babylon" without being influenced by "Babylon".  Pray that I will be able to be a influencer in the new sphere that I live and work.  May I be like Daniel and his 3 friends and stay true to my convictions.
