Sunday Fun

It's already June. Thus starting the final month of SLI and SLI serving (so sad).   I requested to serve in parking for this month and to continue serving in parking post SLI.   I came to church a bit early this morning to be debriefed by the person in charge of the parking team about more details as far as joining the parking team now and after SLI.   I was also informed that I am the first SLI student to ever join the parking team coming out of SLI.   Anyways, I had a blast.  I had forgotten how much fun parking is.  I had to do a little bit of running - which hurt a bit - but it wasn't too bad.  The whole thing was worth it though - parking is fun.  

After church I came home and took it easy for the rest of the day.  I got some things done on the computer, played a little Minecraft again as a chill-time activity - and it was actually worth it this time!  As second service was starting Jim, Laura, LuAnn and Leah went to a horse race.   (I wanted to go, but I had to stay at church - I look forward to the next opportunity I have to go though).   I was informed that if you want you can bet on the horses that are racing.  So I gave LuAnn and Leah $10 to bet for me.  I told them that I am counting it as a loss, but if possible I would like to break even and get $10 back.   I also told them that I will give them 50% of the profit that they bring back on it, if they get any.   So come to find out when Leah got home, she more than doubled my money, bringing back $22!   So she got to keep $6 and I gained $6 profit for doing nothing - cool!   Now I realize that if I had the opportunities, I would likely do this very often.  So I only want to do this every once in awhile as a fun activity, not as a money making event (since I do enjoy betting-type things just for fun).   I don't want to do it often for fear that I might either get addicted to it or that I would start using it as attempts to make a lot of money - that would be where it would get dangerous.  I have no problem doing it though every once in a while as a fun activity, with the understanding that I will likely lose every dollar I put into it.

It was a good day! Praise GOD!

This is the horse (#7) that won me most of my profit.  Thank you Leah and LuAnn!
